The FunTrivia Setlist [11] Trivia Quiz

Answer: (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction

Gratification and satisfaction are synonyms. Lacking receipt is another way of saying "I'm not getting any".

There are numerous stories about this number and how it came into being including that the band's lack of satisfaction came from an incident at a concert at the Jack Russell Stadium in Clearwater, Florida on May 6, 1965. The Stones were only four songs into their gig when an altercation occurred between punters and the police, bringing the show to an end. That night Keith Richard would roll out of bed, turn on his tape recorder, play the riff and go back to sleep. When he presented the tape to the band they heard the riff and, later, Keith snoring.

Answer: Seven Little Girls (Sitting In the Back Seat)

The Avons were a vocal pop group initially comprised of sisters Valerie and Elaine Murtagh, later joined by Raymond S. Adams. "Seven Little Girls (Sitting In the Back Seat)" was the group's biggest hit, reaching three on the UK Singles chart in its release year of 1959. The original song, "Seven Little Girls Sitting in the Backseat" (sans parentheses) was written by Bob Hilliard and Lee Pockriss and recorded by Paul Evans earlier in 1959. This version reached nine on the US Billboard charts, but failed to make as much of an impact in the UK. The incorrect options are all also songs performed by The Avons, and "My Grandfather Clock" is their cover of "Which Witch Doctor" by The Mudlarks.

Answer: Make That Move

"Make That Move" was the second single from Shalamar's classic 1980 album "Three for Love", after "Full of Fire". The album, featuring the classic line-up of Jeffrey Daniel, Howard Hewett and Jody Watley, was a big success, reaching the Billboard Top Ten and going platinum. "Make That Move", by Kevin Spencer, William Shelby and Ricky Smith, was a hit in the discos and soul charts, with lyrics like "So girl whatever you do, Just remember love is a motion, You got to hold on tight, When you know it's right."

"The Second Time Around" was a hit for Shalamar in 1979.
"Chequered Love" and "Slow Hand" were 1981 singles for Kim Wilde and the Pointer Sisters respectively.

Answer: Delilah

"Delilah" is a song about a woman who paid the ultimate price for her indiscretion. P.J. Proby recorded it in late 1967 but didn't like it so Tom Jones was offered the song; his version was released in February, 1968. It reached number 15 in the U.S. on the "Billboard Hot 100" and was a top-three song in many European countries.

"Major Tom (Coming Home)" (or "Major Tom (Völlig Losgelöst)", as it was called in Schilling's native Germany) is about the character from Bowie's "Space Oddity" and "Ashes to Ashes" being involved in an accident in space. The song was originally released in German in January 1983, with an English version coming out in September 1983. Remixed versions of the song were released in 1994, 2000 and 2003.

Kankurette brings us this question based on a song suggested for the Setlist by Shadowmyst2004.

Answer: The Final Countdown

Europe was formed in 1979 in Sweden. Though the band released their eleventh studio album in 2017, they are mostly known for their 1986 studio album "The Final Countdown", and largely recognized as a one-hit wonder group for their eponymous song. It was written by vocalist Joey Tempest, and rose to the top of the charts in countries like the US, Sweden, and France. Tempest stated in several interviews that he had originally intended for the song to be an opener for concerts, so its overwhelming success was unexpected.

Answer: Europa and the Pirate Twins

"Europa and the Pirate Twins" was written by Thomas Dolby in 1981 and it was, also, released as a single with "Therapy/Growth" as its B-side. Thomas Dolby was a pioneer in the electronic music of the 1980s and the song is considered one of the first electro/synth pop songs. It talks about two very young sweethearts who get separated by war and promise to meet again. When they do, she has become a famous star and he tries to reach her but she is gone before he is able to.

"I was fourteen
She was twelve
Father travelled - hers as well
Europa
Down the beaches
Hand in hand
Twelfth of never on the sand
Then war took her away
We swore a vow that day:
We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa
Oh my country, Europa
I'll stand beside you in the rain, Europa
Ta republique..."

Answer: Highway Star

"Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound"

These are the opening lines to "Highway Star" and the story told to Songfacts by the band is that they had gotten to the point where they felt "Speed King" no longer worked for them as an opener. They were on their way to a gig at the Portsmouth Guild Hall watching the traffic go past when the inspiration hit for "Highway Star". They would debut the song that night and then, over a series of concerts, would eventually refine it into the extraordinary song that opens their 1971 album "Machine Head".

Answer: Beds Are Burning

"Diesel and Dust" was Midnight Oil's sixth studio album, and it contained some of their best-known songs, like "The Dead Heart" and the protest song "Beds are Burning". The album mainly focused on the experiences of Australia's Aboriginal peoples and their struggles. With lyrics like "the time has come to say fair's fair" and "it belongs to them, we're gonna give it back" in "Beds are Burning", Midnight Oil implies that it is time for justice and reparations for the mistreatment Australian Aboriginals have endured. The song was performed in the closing ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics, with the band wearing black shirts with the word "sorry" as a message to Prime Minister John Howard, who had refused to apologize to Aboriginal tribes.

Answer: Happy

Released as the first single from Williams' second studio album "Girl" (2013) the song was more than a moment of happiness for Pharrell. It was Billboards' number one single for 2014, it reached number one on the UK Singles' chart on three separate occasions, it received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song and a live performance of the number was good enough to win Williams the Grammy Award for Best Pop Solo Performance. Wow!
