Soundtrack to "EuroTrip" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Chapeaumelon

French-Canadian rock band Chapeaumelon were formed in Montreal in 2001. It is their 2001 cover of The Who's classic 1965 track "My Generation" that is used in the movie "Eurotrip".

Chapeaumelon's version of "My Generation" plays right at the start of the movie during the opening credits, which is a comedic animated representation of a pre-flight safety briefing on board an aeroplane.

Answer: Cauterize

Formed in Oshawa, Ontario, alternative rock band Cauterize were active from 1995 until 2007. Their 2001 single "Shooting Stars" was later included on the band's 2003 album "So Far From Real".

"Shooting Stars" plays as the movie starts proper. We see an external shot of Hudson High School and a banner that reads "Congratulations! Hudson High Class of 2004" as a voiceover says the same words. The doors below the banner burst open and out rush a load of graduates in their gowns clutching their diplomas. The song continues as we are introduced to Scott, Cooper, and Fiona.

Answer: Wakefield

American rock band Wakefield were formed in Mechanicsville, Maryland, and were active from 2000 to 2008. "Wild One" is their cover of the 1986 Iggy Pop song "Real Wild Child", which was itself a cover of the 1958 song "Wild One" or "Real Wild Child" by Johnny O'Keefe.

Wakefield's version of "Wild One" plays at the start of the Wade's party scene. We see a load of high school kids in Wade's back yard, with Scott and Cooper walking through the yard enjoying a drink before meeting up with twins Jenny and Jamie.

Answer: Lustra

Originating in Boston, Massachusetts, US rock band Lustra originally consisted of Chris Baird, Nick Cloutman, Jon Baird, and Jason Adams. "Scotty Doesn't Know" was originally written in 2003 for the movie "Eurotrip", and was later included in the band's second studio album "Left for Dead".

"Scotty Doesn't Know" plays during Wade's party, and advises us, through its not particularly subtle lyrics, that Fiona has been cheating on Scott. The band Lustra are actually playing live at the party, although the lead singer is replaced by Matt Damon, who says a few lines (which suggests that Fiona's infidelity has been going on for a year), and lip-synchs along to the song.

Answer: Jet

Australian rock band Jet were originally active between 2001 and 2012, but reformed in 2016. Generally regarded as the band's signature song, "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" was Jet's debut single that was released as the lead track from their 2003 debut album "Get Born".

"Are You Gonna Be My Girl" plays as Scott and Cooper head off on a flight to England, having acquired cheap tickets as they have agreed to be couriers (an idea that Cooper got from his cousin, who acted as a courier when he went to India). The song plays again towards the end of the movie as we see that Jamie has sold his beloved Leica camera so that the friends can fly to Rome to finally track down Mieke.

Answer: The Jam

English mod revival/punk rock band The Jam were formed in Woking, Surrey in 1972, and enjoyed massive success during their ten year history as a band, although their legacy continues to this day. "In the City" was The Jam's debut single, released on 29th April 1977, and was the only single released from their debut album of the same name.

"In the City" plays as we are shown an animation of "all things London" before we are shown a shot of Big Ben, and see Scott and Cooper standing in front of the Thames, having successfully made it to Europe!

Answer: Sheena Easton

Born Sheena Shirley Orr on 27th April 1959, Sheena Easton is a Scottish singer-songwriter who began her singing career in 1980. Originally released as "9 to 5" in May 1980 in the UK, the song was released in February 1981 in the USA and Canada as "Morning Train (Nine to Five)" to avoid confusion with the Dolly Parton hit "9 to 5".

"Morning Train (Nine to Five)" plays as Scott and Cooper decide to go into a "typical English pub", and choose the Fiesty [sic] Goat. Unfortunately, they have stumbled into a "private members bar, exclusively for the supporters of the greatest football team in the world - Manchester United". When Scott declares that he and Cooper are "the Manchester United fan club from Ohio", he is asked to sing the Manchester United song, and breaks into his own unique rendition of "Morning Train (Nine to Five)" by Sheena Easton. The song then plays for real as the "soccer hooligans" welcome the newcomers, and the entire pub joins in with the singing.

Answer: The Business

Classified as an "Oi!" band (which is a subgenre of punk rock), The Business were formed in Lewisham, South London in 1979. Their song "England 5, Germany 1", which is a reference to the final score in the 2002 World Cup qualifying match between Germany and England that was played on 1st September 2001 at the Olympiastadion in Munich, is taken from their 2003 album "Hardcore Hooligan".

"England 5, Germany 1" plays as Scott and Cooper wake up on the top on an open-top bus, which is being driven along the motorway. The two friends walk down to the lower level of the bus, and are informed by Mad Maynard that they are on their way to Paris to watch Manchester United play in a match.

Answer: Frankie Goes to Hollywood

Fronted by Holly Johnson, Frankie Goes to Hollywood were formed in 1980 in Liverpool, England, and enjoyed massive success throughout the 1980s. The band's anti-war song "Two Tribes" was released as the second single from their debut studio album "Welcome to the Pleasuredome", which was released in 1984 on vinyl and cassette, and in 1985 on CD.

"Two Tribes" plays as Scott "fights" with a robot man mime artist whilst the friends are waiting in line to visit the Louvre.

Answer: Plastic Bertrand

Known professionally as Plastic Bertrand, Belgian musician Roger François Jouret was born on 24th February 1954 in Brussels. He is best known for his international hit single "Ca Plane Pour Moi", which was released in 1977, and included on his debut album AN1.

"Ca Plane Pour Moi" plays as Scott, Cooper, Jenny and Jamie begin their train journey from Paris on their European adventure.
