Aboard the Mississippi Queen"
2. The Rolling Stones 1969 song "Honky Tonk Women" mentions two women. One was a divorcee from New York City and the other was a "gin soaked bar-room queen" he met where?

Answer: Memphis

The Rolling Stones released "Honky Tonk Women" as a single in 1969. It was a number one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, UK Singles, Australian, Switzerland, Irish and New Zealand charts. It was subsequently released on a number of their compilation albums over the years. Waylon Jennings, Ricky Nelson, Billy Joel, Willie Nelson, Elton John and Jerry Lee Lewis have all covered this song.

A country version of this song was recorded a few months later for their album "Let It Bleed" but titled "Country Honk".
3. Which historical French figure do Queen mention in their 1974 song "Killer Queen"?

Answer: Marie Antoinette

"Killer Queen" was recorded for Queen's "Sheer Heart Attack" album. It reached second place on the UK Singles chart, but only reached twelfth place on the US Billboard Hot 100 and US Billboard Cash Box Top 100 charts.

Said by Freddie Mercury of this song:

"People are used to hard rock, energy music from Queen, yet with this single you almost expect Noel Coward to sing it. It's one of those bowler hat, black suspender belt numbers - not that Coward would wear that. "

"She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy"
4. "Lady in Black" is a beautiful ballad written and recorded by British rock band Uriah Heep in 1971. On which of their cathedral city-named albums does the song feature?

"Lady in Black" was recorded for Uriah Heep's second studio album "Salisbury". The song charted in Germany, Switzerland and South Africa, but was not released as a single in the U.S. or United Kingdom. The album itself reached position 103 on the US Album chart, but actually made it to top position on the Finnish charts.

I had the privilege of seeing them in concert a few years back and hearing this song performed live was quite extraordinary.
5. In the 1994 Tori Amos song "Cornflake Girl", she mentions which particular animal repeatedly in the chorus? "______, where'd you put the keys, girl? ______, where'd you put the keys, girl? ______, where'd you put the keys? Oh, yeah ______, where'd you put the keys, where'd you put the keys, girl"

Answer: Rabbit

"Cornflake Girl" was recorded by Tori Amos for the album "Under the Pink". The song reached second position on the Icelandic chart, fourth position on the UK chart and twelfth position on the US Billboard Alternative Songs chart. The reference 'cornflake girls' was explained by Amos as being a best friend who would betray you. The album reached top position on the UK Albums chart. Trent Reznor, front man of rock band Nine Inch Nails, sang back-up vocals on the song "Past the Mission". The album was certified platinum in the UK and double platinum in the United States.

"Rabbit, where'd you put the keys, girl?
Rabbit, where'd you put the keys, girl?
Rabbit, where'd you put the keys?
Oh, yeah
Rabbit, where'd you put the keys, where'd you put the keys, girl"

"Mary Moon... she's a vegetarian (Mary Moon, Mary Moon, Mary Moon)

Oh, she loves me so
She hates to be alone
She don't eat meat
But she sure like the bone"
7. What does the devil woman have on her mind in Cliff Richard's 1976 song "Devil Woman"?

Answer: Evil

Cliff Richard recorded "Devil Woman" for his album "I'm Nearly Famous". It went to number one on the South African chart and reached fifth position on the US Billboard Cash Box Top 100 and sixth position on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts. The song was recorded at Abbey Road where many of the famous bands have recorded.

Cliff Richard has recounted a particular story related to this song a number of times. An Australian woman who had been flirting with the occult credits Richard's song "Devil Woman" for her turning from the occult to Christianity.

"She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind"
8. Complete the lyrics of the chorus of the 1989 song "Fire Woman" by British band The Cult. "Fire Smoke, she is a rising fire Oh, smoke on the horizon, yeah Fire Smoke, she is a rising fire Oh, __________ lightning, baby"

Answer: Smoke stack

"Fire Woman" was written and recorded for The Cult's fourth album "Sonic Temple". Slightly more popular in the US than in their native UK, it reached fourth position on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and second on the US Billboard Alternative Songs chart.

It only managed a fifteenth position on the UK Singles chart. It featured in top spot on the New Zealand charts and it has apparently been used regularly during the closing credits of the broadcast of the Australian Formula One, proving to be even more popular with Antipodean fans than US and UK fans.
9. Who wrote and recorded the song "Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35" in 1966 for his album "Blonde on Blonde"?

Answer: Bob Dylan

"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" was a very popular song for Bob Dylan, reaching second position on both the US Billboard Hot 100 and US Billboard Cashbox Top 100 charts. It has been covered numerous times, most notably by Tom Petty, Sammy Hagar, Lenny Kravitz and Jimmy Buffett.

I originally heard the song before learning its name and to this day I can't really tie the lyrics in to the title.

"Well, they'll stone you when you're tryin' to be so good
They'll stone you just like they said they would
They'll stone you when you're trying to go home
Then they'll stone you when you're there all alone

But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned"

Dylan stated in a radio interview with Bob Fass in 1986:

"'Everybody must get stoned' is like when you go against the tide....you might in different times find yourself in an unfortunate situation and so to do what you believe in sometimes.... some people they just take offence to that. You can look through history and find that people have taken offence to people who come out with a different viewpoint on things."
10. Which 1990s comedy film featured the 1967 Jimi Hendrix song "Foxy Lady" in a prominent dream sequence?

Answer: Wayne's World

"Foxy Lady", sometimes written as "Foxey Lady", was recorded by the Jimi Hendrix Experience for the 1967 album "Are You Experienced". It originally only managed a sixty-seventh spot on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, but was placed in position 153 on "Rolling Stones" magazine's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time". It has been covered by the likes of The Cure, Booker T. and the M.G.'s, Cee-Lo Green and ZZ Top.

It was used in a dream sequence in the 1992 film "Wayne's World" featuring Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey where in Carvey's character Garth sees his dream woman (portrayed by Donna Dixon, Dan Aykroyd's wife) and does an awkwardly entertaining dance.
