Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which group had a top ten hit in 1970 with "Lola"?

Answer: The Kinks

Ray Davies was forced to interrupt the band's American tour and travel to London because the original recording had the words "Coca Cola". The BBC had a rule against product placement in songs, so it was rerecorded with the words "cherry cola".

"I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne
It tastes just like Coca Cola, C-O-L-A cola

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice
She said Lola, L-O-L-A, Lola, L-L-Lola."

2. Which of the following Elton John's songs contain the following lines: "She's got electric boots, a mohair suit You know I read it in a magazine..."?

Answer: Bennie and the Jets

The Winnipeg Jets were a NHL hockey team from 1972 to 1996. A rebirth of the team took place in May of 2011 with the moving and renaming of the Atlanta Thrashers. The organization has picked "Benny" as the name of their mascot, a clear connection with this song. (Can anybody say theme song?)

3. Which group in 1964 released the song "Gloria"?

"Them" featured Van Morrison as lead singer and Jimmy Paige on guitar. Morrison left the group in 1966 to pursue a solo career, which led to the group's break up in 1972.

Answer: blue

"Blue Suede Shoes" was written by Carl Perkins, who first recorded it in 1955. It became a number 1 hit for Perkins, while only reaching number 20 for Presley. Since the two men were friends, Elvis held back the release of his cover of the song while the Perkins recording was topping the charts.

5. What group had a hit in 1970 with "Whole Lotta Love"?

Down in old Mexico
If you're ever in Alaska stop and see
My cute little Eskimo

Oh my sweet Fraulein down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return."
