Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the music video Reba's character had new facts on whose murder case?

Answer: Brody

At the beginning of the music video a guy says the lines "My editor said you had some new facts in the old Brody murder case." It's not heard on the song alone, only in the video.

2. How long had Reba's brother been gone, before arriving to his hometown?

Answer: Two weeks

Toward the beginning of the song Reba recites the lyrics
"He was on his way home from Candletop.
Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop
At Web's and have him a drink for he went home to her."

3. What was the name of Reba's brother?

Answer: Raymond

Heard and seen only in the music video, her brother, Raymond, is noted in the newspaper as well as through her words when talking to the reporter.

4. What was "the only thing daddy had left" Reba's brother?

Answer: A gun

"Brother thought his wife must have left town,
so he went home and finally found,
the only thing daddy had left him,
and that was a gun."

was the line used before he preceded to Andy's house.

5. Who was in the puddle of blood, seen through the screen door?

Answer: Andy

Raymond had went there with the intention to kill Andy but his sister got there first. Travis and Amanda are the brother and sister from the 1981 movie, "The Night the Lights Went out in Georgia".

6. What was the name of the paper showing the main parts of the plot, in the music video?

Answer: Sumertown Herald

Shown in the video a total of five times, the "Sumertown Herald" flashes on the screen with the following headlines: "Brody Guilty of Wife and Lover's Murders", "Raymond Brody Arrested for Double Murder", "Raymond Brody to be Hanged", "Brody Hanging to Take Place at Midnight", and "Woman Confesses to 40 Year Old Murders".

7. How did they kill Reba's brother?

Answer: Hung him

The chilling ending of the song has Reba confessing

"Well they hung my brother and before I could say.
The tracks he saw while on his way,
to Andy's house and back that night were mine~"

8. The judge covered up the truth because he was sleeping with "Reba" and didn't want her to go to jail

Answer: False

The judge was actually involved with her brother's wife, the same woman who was shot and killed along with Andy that tragic night. In the music video the reporter actually says this while trying to piece together the story: "Your brother pleaded guilty to protect you, and the judge didn't wanna hear the truth because of his involvement with your brother's wife?"

9. How long did it take for "Reba" to confess to the murders?

Answer: Forty years

In the music video we see an elderly "Reba" talking to a reporter about what went down that night. After her brother was hung she was the only one that was left to tell the truth, aside from the judge. At the end a headline in the paper reads "Woman Confesses to 40 Year Old Murders".

10. Is "Reba" older than her brother?

Answer: No

After we find out that the tracks to and from Andy's house belonged to "Reba" she says this haunting line that makes me shudder,

"And his cheatin' wife had never left town,
that's one body that'll never be found.
You see little sister don't miss when she aims her gun."
