Soundtrack to "Charlie's Angels" Quiz

Answer: Korn

Fronted by the enigmatic Jonathan Davis, American nu metal band Korn were formed in 1993 in Bakersfield, California. Released in August 1994, "Blind" was the band's debut single, and it plays right at the start of the movie as the camera pans past the Columbia logo, through the clouds, and into the commercial airliner in which the opening scene of the movie takes place.

It plays again later in the movie when the Angels are fighting the bad guys.

Answer: Motley Crue

Founded by Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, and Mick Mars, the heavy metal band Motley Crue were formed in Los Angeles, California in 1981, and disbanded after their "retirement" gig at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve 2015. Their 1982 single "Live Wire" plays as Dylan (played by Drew Barrymore), who is disguised as the mysterious Mr. Jones (played by LL Cool J) grabs the bomber, opens the emergency exit door, and jumps out of the plane.

The pair are caught up by Alex (played by Lucy Liu) who dives out of a helicopter and rips the bomb vest from off of the bomber, just before it detonates.

The song continues to play as Alex safely deposits the bomber onto a speedboat piloted by Natalie (played by Cameron Diaz).

Answer: Wham!

Formed by school friends George Michael and Andrew Ridgely, Wham! were an English music duo that were originally active between 1981 and 1986, and who had two reformations, in 1988 and 1991. Their 1984 single "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" reached number one in multiple countries, including the UK, Ireland, the USA, and Australia, and was the debut single from their second studio album "Make It Big".

The song plays as we are introduced to Natalie during the montage when the voice of Charlie (provided by John Forsythe) introduces us to his three Angels and provides us with a little bit of information as to their backgrounds.

The song plays as we see Natalie, who appears to be fun-loving and care-free, joyfully putting her car on two wheels and controlling it wonderfully during a driving lesson!

Answer: The Flying Lizards

The English new-wave band The Flying Lizards were active between 1976 and 1984. They are perhaps best known for their 1979 cover of the 1959 Barrett Strong single "Money (That's What I Want)", which was written by Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford. The Flying Lizards' version of the song also plays during the montage in which we are introduced to the Angels, as we see Alex, who appears to have had a rather privileged upbringing, demonstrating her skills as a showjumper.

Answer: Joan Jett & the Blackhearts

Joan Marie Larkin was born on 22nd September 1958, and is best known by her stage name Joan Jett. She was a founding member of The Runaways in 1975 before forming Joan Jett & the Blackhearts in 1979. Their 1982 cover of "I Love Rock N' Roll", which was originally released by the Arrows in 1975, also plays during the montage in which we are introduced to the Angels, as we see Dylan, who appears to be somewhat rebellious and disrespectful of authority, smoking in a bathroom and flipping the finger to a security camera.

Answer: Juice Newton

American singer-songwriter Judy Kay Newton, who is known professionally as Juice Newton, was born on 18th February 1952 in Lakehurst, New Jersey. Her 1981 version of "Angel of the Morning", which was written and composed by Chip Taylor, plays as we see Dylan waking up on Betsy, the boat owned by her boyfriend Chad (played by Tom Green), as Chad sings along to the song whilst cooking Dylan (whom he calls his "starfish") eggs for breakfast.

Answer: Tavares

Also known as the Tavares Brothers, Tavares is an American RnB group that originally consisted of five brothers from the Tavares family, subsequently dropping to three as two of the brothers left to pursue other endeavours. They are perhaps best known for their 1976 single "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel", which plays as we see Natalie's dream sequence in which she professionally performs a choreographed dance routine with a group of handsome well-dressed men on a colourful dancefloor whilst being watched by a horde of adoring fans.

It continues playing as we see real-life Natalie wake up and answer the door to collect a parcel from a delivery driver. The song also plays right at the end of the movie, as the Angels and Bosley frolic in the sea having enjoyed celebratory cocktails on the beach.

Answer: Alan O'Day

American singer-songwriter Alan O'Day was born on 3rd October 1940 in Hollywood, California, and died on 17th May 2013. His 1977 single "Undercover Angel" is his best known work, and it reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. It plays as we see Alex driving away from the trailer in which her movie-star boyfriend Jason (played by Matt LeBlanc) lives whilst on set, having been called into the office, along with the other Angels, by Bosley (played by Bill Murray).

Answer: Enigma

The German musical project Enigma was founded by Michael Cretu, a Romanian-German musician and producer, in 1990. Taken from their debut album entitled "MCMXC a.D.", their debut single "Sadeness (Part I)" was an international hit, reaching number one in most European countries, as well as number five in America.

However it is the third single released from the "MCMXC a.D." album, "Principles of Lust" that plays during the movie. It plays as we see Alex, disguised as a masseuse, giving Roger Corwin (played by Tim Curry) his weekly massage at Madame Wong's House of Blossoms in her own unique style, which ends in her rendering him unconscious by "activating the right energy points", allowing her to take his locker key.

Answer: The Vapors

The English new wave band The Vapors were formed in Guildford, Surrey in 1978, but disbanded in 1982; however they reformed, albeit with a slightly altered line-up, in 2016. They are best known for their 1980 single "Turning Japanese", which was a number one hit in Australia, and reached number three in the UK.

The song plays as we see the three Angels open Roger Corwin's locker at the massage parlour, take a copy of his car key and download his schedule from his Palm Pilot so that they can investigate the man they believe to be responsible for the kidnapping of Eric Knox (played by Sam Rockwell).
