That can't be the title, can it? Part 1 Quiz

Answer: Proud Mary

"Proud Mary" was written by John Fogerty and recorded by his band, "Creedence Clearwater Revival" on their 1969 album "Bayou Country." It became the band's first top ten hit on the U.S. Pop chart, peaking at number two.

"Big wheel keep on turnin',
Proud Mary keep on burnin',
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river."

Answer: Low Rider

"Low Rider" is a song by the R&B band "War". It appeared on their 1975 album "Why Can't We Be Friends?" and also reached number 35 on the Pop Singles chart.

"All my friends know the Low Rider
The Low Rider is a little higher
Low Rider drives a little slower
Low Rider is a real goer"

Answer: Baba O'Riley

"Baba O'Riley" was written by Pete Townshend and released by "The Who" on their 1971 LP, "Who's Next". Townshend derived the song from a demonstration he had heard of a synthesizer and intended to release it as part of his later abandoned "Lifehouse" project, a rock opera which was to follow up the band's 1969 rock opera, "Tommy".

Answer: Money for Nothing

"Money for Nothing" is a song by the British band Dire Straits, appearing on their 1985 album, "Brothers in Arms". It rose to number 1 in the U.S., becoming their most successful single.

Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler wrote the song and while they were recording on the island of Montserrat, Sting was invited to add some background vocals. Sting, himself, has stated his only contribution to the writing was the catchy "I Want My MTV" line and was embarrassed when his publishing company insisted on his receiving credit for co-writing the song.

Answer: Escape

Released in the late 1979, "Escape", by Rupert Holmes, has the honor of being the last Billboard Hot 100 hit of the 1970s. Holmes reluctantly renamed the song to "Escape (The Piņa Colada Song)", after slow sales were blamed on fans' not realizing its proper title.

"If you like Piņa Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape."

Answer: Space Oddity

"Space Oddity" was written and performed by David Bowie and was included on the LP of the same name, and also released as a single in 1969. "Rocket Man" is an Elton John song.

"Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills
and put your helmet on."

Answer: The Rain, the Park, and Other Things

Yes, the most bizarre answer is the correct one. The other (incorrect) answers are all phrases from the song, but not the title.

"(I love the flower girl)
Oh I don't know just why; she simply caught my eye
(I love the flower girl)
She seemed so sweet and kind; she crept into my mind
(To my mind... to my mind)"

As of 2007, there's currently a movement to induct "The Cowsills" into Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Answer: MacArthur Park

"MacArthur Park" was written by Jimmy Webb and first performed by Richard Harris on his 1968 album, "A Tramp Shining". The recording topped the music charts in Europe and peaked at number two on the U.S. charts. The song is named after MacArthur Park, a park in Los Angeles, California.

Islip-MacArthur Airport is an actual airport on Long Island, NY, USA.

Answer: Karn Evil 9

Actually, the full title was "Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression, Pt. 2" which was part of 1973's album, "Brain Salad Surgery".

The other songs listed were all popular ELP songs as well.

Answer: Scenes from an Italian Restaurant

Peaking at #2 in the US, Billy Joel's landmark album, "The Stranger" contained "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" a medley of sorts of 3 different songs (the middle piece of which Joel sometimes calls, "The Ballad of Brenda and Eddie"). At over 7 minutes in length, "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" was never released as a single and is the longest of Joel's studio songs.

Some more lyrics:
"A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends upon your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant."
