Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: No No Song

Written by Hoyt Axton, "No No Song" was a 1975 single from Ringo's "Goodnight Vienna" album.

Answer: Sheila E

Sheila (Escovedo) E comes from a family of musicians. Maureen Tucker was Velvet Underground's drummer. Karen Carpenter was drummer/singer for The Carpenters. Samantha Maloney drummed for Hole, Motley Crue, Eagles of Death Metal, Peaches, and the Chelsea Girls.

Answer: Breakfast In America

"Breakfast In America" was 1979's number four on the UK Album Chart, number five on the US Billboard album chart.

Answer: Boys

It's always seemed strange to hear the Fab Four singing a song extolling the romantic virtues of boys. But as Paul McCartney explained, "we never thought we should call it "Girls", just because Ringo was a boy. We just sang it the way they'd (Shirelles) sung it and never considered any implications."

5. Could it be true? Ringo has performed a song originally recorded by Buck Owens on every All Starr Band tour.

Answer: True

"Act Naturally" was a number one Country & Western hit in 1963 for Buck Owens And The Buckaroos. The Beatles recorded the song with Ringo providing vocals for their 1965 "Help!" album. It was also the B-side of the single "Yesterday". In 1989 Ringo and Buck Owens recorded it as a duet which became a modest country hit.

6. In 1995 John Entwhistle of The Who became the All Starr Band's bass player. What arachnid-rock song did he perform during the tour?

Answer: Boris The Spider

Entwhistle didn't sing often but his vocals tended to be memorable. "Boris The Spider" was a crowd favorite from The Who's 1966 album "A Quick One" ("Happy Jack" in the US).

7. Although it's his highest charting (UK) song, Ringo has only performed it sporadically with his All Starr Band. Marc Bolan of T-Rex suggested the name "Back Off ________"

Answer: Boogaloo

Ringo sang and played drums on "Back Off Boogaloo". He was backed in the studio by George Harrison and All Starr Band mates Gary Wright and Klaus Voormann.

Answer: All Day

Todd Rundgren's appearance with the 2014 All Starr Band is his fourth.

Answer: Photograph

"Pictures Of Lily" by The Who is a different type of unrequited love song. Paul Simon wrote and recorded "Kodachrome" and "Picture Book" is by The Kinks.

10. Since 2008 almost every performance by Ringo Starr's All Starr Band has ended with the audience singing along to this Plastic Ono Band standard. All we are saying is...?

Answer: Give Peace A Chance

"Give Peace A Chance" was recorded in June 1969 in a Montreal hotel room. John Lennon and Yoko Ono were accompanied by a room full of celebrities who were present to help celebrate John and Yoko's "bed-in" honeymoon and anti-war protest. If this sounds really weird keep in mind it was the '60s.
