Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Name the female singer who sang these lyrics: "I've been undressed by kings/ And I've seen some things/ That a woman ain't supposed to see."

Answer: Charlene

"I've Never Been to Me" was released in the USA in 1977 but wasn't a big hit for Charlene until 1982. The song was featured in the film "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" which qualifies it as a top rate soppy song.
2. This song was a hit in 1968 for which singer? "Cause it took so long to bake it/ And I'll never have that recipe again."

Answer: Richard Harris

"MacArthur Park" was written by Jimmy Webb and first performed by Richard Harris in 1968. The park is in fact the General Douglas MacArthur Park near Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles.
As for the song - who knows what it means....
3. This over-the-top song included the lyrics: "Once upon a time I was falling in love/ But now I'm only falling apart" Who sang it?

Answer: Bonnie Tyler

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" was released by Bonnie Tyler in 1983 and became a number one hit world wide. It was written by Jim Steinman and was an over-the-top, operatic production - and very soppy.
4. This song was performed by a duet but what is the name of the male singer? "The need inside you/ I see it showin'/ Whoa, the seed inside ya."

Answer: Paul Anka

"Having My Baby" was released in 1974 and featured Odia Coates, becoming a number one hit.
This is one sad, sick, soppy song.
5. This singer was actually going through the experience of the song title - what's her name? "There are times when a woman has to say what's on her mind/ Even though she knows how much it's gonna hurt."

Answer: Mary MacGregor

"Torn Between Two Lovers" was written by Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul and Mary fame) and Phil Jarrel for Mary MacGregor, a former jingles singer. After this hit, she never repeated the success of this song - probably difficult to find another song that bad.
6. Name the singer who has recorded may different types of songs but nothing as bad as this song. "Did you think I would leave you crying/ When there's room on my horse for two."

Answer: Rolf Harris

"Two Little Boys" was a popular early 1900s music hall song made popular again by Rolf Harris. This song was top of the UK hit parade for seven weeks over Christmas 1969 - but it really should have stayed in 1900s.
7. These are typical song lyrics for this group - what is their name? "I better read between the lines/ In case I need it when I'm older"

Patronising as well as soppy.

Some soppy songs just won't lay down and die.
