The FunTrivia Setlist [13] Trivia Quiz

Answer: Don't Worry, Be Happy

Bobby McFerrin is an American jazz vocalist who has worked both solo and in collaborations. "Don't Worry, Be Happy" is entirely a cappella, featuring numerous overdubbed vocal takes to accompany the central melody. The song became a huge charting hit for McFerrin and won him Grammy Awards for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 1989. The song became deeply ingrained in popular culture and has featured in numerous films. George H. W. Bush even used the song for his presidential campaign without McFerrin's consent, causing McFerrin (a Democrat supporter) to momentarily retire the song from his setlists in protest. After the success of "Don't Worry, Be Happy", Bobby McFerrin began exploring other career possibilities, including composing for film studios like Pixar and collaborating with orchestras.

The incorrect options are, in fact, Bob Marley songs.

Answer: Love Yourself

"Love Yourself" was released as a single on November 9, 2015, days before the release of Justin Bieber's fourth studio album, "Purpose". Co-written by Bieber, Ed Sheeran, and producer Benny Blanco, the song tells the story of a relationship that has ended, and how the singer is ready to let go of the other person after being hurt. "Love Yourself" contains quite hard-hitting lyrics! (such as "now I know I'm better sleeping on my own"). The song was well-received overall, reaching the top position in multiple charts including US Billboard Hot 100 and Adult Top 40 lists. "Love Yourself" was also nominated for Song of the Year at the 59th edition of the Grammy Awards, but lost to Adele's "Hello".

Answer: Run to the Hills

The song was part of Iron Maiden's third studio album "The Number of the Beast" but was released in February, 1982, a month before the album came out. In the song, the heavy metal band related the confrontation between whites and natives from both sides. Music channel VH1 ranked it as number 27 on their "40 Greatest Metal Songs" list.

Answer: I Swear

Montgomery recorded his version of the Gary Baker and Frank J. Myers composition in February of 1994 and enjoyed solid success with it. It topped Billboards' Hot Country Songs for four weeks and made the crossover to mainstream, peaking at number forty two on Billboards' Hot 100. He may well have been jealous of All-4-One's take on the track several month's later. With just a slight tweak of the lyrics the song launched the American R&B band to instant stardom. It topped the charts in a number of countries and was only kept from top spot in the UK Singles' charts by the enormously popular "Love is All Around" by Wet Wet Wet. The song would earn the band a Grammy Award in 1995 for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.

Kudos to Pollucci19 for tackling this song put forth by Triviaballer.

Answer: Que Sera Sera

Day also starred in this 1956 alongside James Stewart and, whilst the moment to introduce the song in the movie comes off a little forced, the rendition by Day is perfect. It completed a package that so impressed the Academy that it provided the writers, Jay Livingston and Ray Evans, their third Oscar for Best Original Song. It would also peak at number two on Billboard's Hot 100 charts and be used on television as the theme to "The Doris Day Show" between 1968 and 1973.

Answer: The House of the Rising Sun

A well-known traditional folk ballad, possibly of French or English origin, "The House of the Rising Sun" became a huge hit in the electric version recorded in 1964 by English blues-rock band The Animals. The song tells the story of a life gone wrong in New Orleans, where the titular house is located; in the original version, the narrator is a woman, and the house presumably a brothel, while in The Animals' version the point of view switches to that of a man who gambles his life away and ends up in prison. Bob Dylan also included the song in his 1962 debut album.

"The House Jack Built" is a song about drug abuse by American heavy metal band Metallica; "Hyacinth House" was recorded by The Doors, and "Houses of the Holy" is the title of both a song and an album by Led Zeppelin.

Answer: Boys 'Round Here

This was the second single from Shelton's seventh studio album, "Based on a True Story..." and met with both mixed reviews and moderate success. Debuting at number forty four on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs, it would peak at number two.

The Pistol Annies were made up of Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe, and Angaleena Presley. They formed in 2011, and released two albums in two years before going into hiatus and returning in 2018 to release their third album. Miranda Lambert, at the time, was Shelton's wife.

Answer: The Good Ol' Hockey Game

Also known simply as "The Hockey Song", "The Good Ol' Hockey Game" was written by Canadian folksinger Stompin' Tom Connors, and first released in 1973 as part of the album "Stompin' Tom and The Hockey Song". Each of the song's three verses describes one of the periods in which the game is split. Ice hockey is played with skates, and the puck is the vulcanized rubber disk that takes the place of the ball in this popular contact sport; the Stanley Cup is the trophy awarded each year to the winner of the NHL (National Hockey League) in Canada and the US. "The Hockey Game" has been covered various times, and is often played in NHL arenas.

Answer: Rock You Like a Hurricane

Scorpions are from Hannover, hence the Hannover 96 connection. American sports teams such as the Miami Hurricanes have also used it as a team anthem. (The Spurs parody is a play on the name of striker Harry Kane.) A new version of the song entitled 'Hurricane 2000', with orchestral backing from the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, appeared on the 2000 compilation album 'Moment of Glory'.

Answer: Lean On

The track was completed in collaboration with French producer DJ Snake. Danish singer MØ would also provide vocals on the track. Diplo, of Major Lazer, said that the creative process in the song took some time. They had a very strong hook and sensed a hit but struggled to get the "attitude" of the song right until they brought DJ Snake on board with the project. The effort was worthwhile as indicated by critic, Brennan Carley of US music magazine "Spin", when he wrote "It's as if No Doubt met the C+C Music Factory". This is the tip of the acclaim that the song would receive. It was also loved by their fans as the song garnered great commercial success, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.
