The FunTrivia Setlist [1] Trivia Quiz

Answer: Bad Romance

Ranking at number nine on "Rolling Stone's" year-end listing in 2009, "Bad Romance" hit the airwaves later in the year to great acclaim. Infectious and memorable, the song launched "The Fame Monster", Gaga's second studio album, and rocketed it to number one in the US, Poland, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland, UK, Finland, Australia, New Zealand and Belgium (phew). The song itself went multi-platinum in many countries (including 7x in Canada and 2x in the US). The music video, directed by "I Am Legend" director Francis Lawrence, also promoted Gaga's notorious fashion styles. The video featured a pair of razor-blade sunglasses, Gaga's personalized earbud brand, and an outfit created to look like a gyroscope (which she would later wear live during a "Saturday Night Live" performance).
Gaga later released "Telephone" and "Alejandro" as singles in 2010 to similar success.

"Bad Romance" was a song title recommended by Runaway_Drive.

Answer: Don't Get Mad, Get Even

"Pump" was one of the band's most famous albums and as a result it was not short on hits. Amongst its charting singles were "Love in an Elevator", "Janie's Got a Gun", "What It Takes", and "The Other Side". After its 1989 release, the album went seven times Platinum in the United States over the course of six years. "Janie's Got a Gun" also won a Grammy for the band in 1990. The album reached a peak of number five on the Billboard 200.

"Don't Get Mad, Get Even" was a title recommended by Rowena8482 for this setlist.

Answer: Cool for Cats

"...and everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat; it's cool for cats."
This New Wave classic from Squeeze is perhaps one of the band's most popular. Originally released in 1979 on the album of the same name (the band's second), "Cool For Cats" reached number two on the UK Singles Chart in the same year and later reappeared on the TV in the mid-nineties. The album would hit number 45 in the UK and it would take another two albums before the British band appeared on the U.S. charts with "Tempted" in 1981.

This 'cat'chy song comes to our Funtrivia Setlist from Rossian.

Answer: The Twelfth of Never

Recorded in 1957, Johnny Mathis' "The Twelfth of Never" appeared on one of his earliest albums (though he did release dozens over the years). Although not as popular as his preceding single, ("Chances Are", which hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US) "The Twelfth of Never" hit number nine in the US (on the same chart). Mathis would go on to have several songs inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and he received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy in 2003.
"The Twelfth of Never", a love song in every regard, would later be covered by Donny Osmond who would move his rendition to a number one position on the UK Singles Chart in 1973.

"The Twelfth of Never" was contributed as a title on our setlist by Starstruck60.

Answer: Supermassive Black Hole

One of Muse's biggest singles, "Supermassive Black Hole" found its popularity from a specific baseball scene in the vampire film "Twilight". Due to its reception by this new audience, Muse was called back to provide songs in the series' next films ("I Belong to You" in "New Moon" and the original "Neutron Star Collision" for "Eclipse").
"Supermassive Black Hole" reached number six on Billboard's Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart while the album "Black Holes and Revelations", their fourth CD, went three times platinum in the UK. Their next single, "Starlight", would be their top-charting song to date.

Answer: Nights in White Satin

The song "Nights in White Satin" appeared in 1967 on The Moody Blues' second album, "Days of Future Passed". It first showed on the UK Singles Chart in the year of its release, but it never really picked up speed until three years later, 1972 at which point it showed on the UK Singles Chart at number nine and the Billboard Hot 100 at number two. "Nights in White Satin: The Trip", was featured in Hard Rock Park until its renaming and rebranding. The song has since appeared in several of the band's greatest hits collections.

Answer: Brick By Boring Brick

Released on the third album from this U.S. band, "Brand New Eyes", "Brick By Boring Brick" became the second single from this release (the first being "Ignorance"). Peaking at number nine on the Billboard Top Alternative chart and number 20 on the Rock Songs chart, "Brick By Boring Brick" would later be followed by the band's most popular single from the CD, "The Only Exception", which was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. "Brick By Boring Brick" still features as one of the band's catchier songs.

This Paramore single was added to the setlist by Kyleisalive.

Answer: Paint It, Black

Originally released on the band's fourth album, "Aftermath", in 1966, "Paint It, Black" appeared on the US release alongside "Under My Thumb". Penned by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, the song is the first of their releases to include the sitar, an instrument experimented with by The Beatles on a number of their releases. The song was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart back in the year of its release and it later appeared on the "Rolling Stone" magazine's '500 Greatest Songs' list. The song has since been covered by numerous artists worldwide.

Answer: Cherish

"Cherish", released in 1966, wasn't the California band's first single release ("Along Came Mary" preceded it) but it was their first number one single in the United States. Their debut album, "And Then... Along Comes the Association", contained "Cherish" on its second side. Although the song appeared in the top position on the Hot 100 Billboard chart in 1966, it appeared in the John Hughes classic "Pretty in Pink" two decades later. The band's next number one hit would be "Windy" from their third album, "Insight Out" (1967).

"Cherish" was a song requested by Looney_Tunes for our setlist.

Answer: I've Got Two Legs

"I've Got Two Legs" not only appeared on the comedic "Monty Python Sings" album, it also appeared on the setlist for "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl" in 1982. Played by Terry Gilliam in live performances, the song interrupted an argument between Michael Palin and John Cleese and ended abruptly with a gunshot. As expected, it follows the absurd comedy stylings of the Monty Python troupe. The other three songs, while appearing on the "Monty Python Live" album, also appeared in the hit Broadway musical "Spamalot" which won a Tony Award for 'Best Musical'.
