Under the Influence Trivia Quiz

Answer: Weezer

It was the second single released from their 2005 album "Make Believe" and is possibly a criticism of the widespread drug use among youth in America. The MTV version of the song is called "We Are All in Love" - though the headline "We Are All on Drugs" appears on the newspaper that Rivers Cuomo reads in the video.

Answer: Cocaine Cowgirl

"Cocaine Cowgirl" was recorded in 2005 by Matt Mays and his backup band El Torpedo, and appears on their self-titled album. The song was nominated for the 2006 Single of the Year at the East Coast Music Awards.

Answer: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was a song recorded by the Beatles for their 1967 album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". The Beatles themselves have always maintained that the fact that the initials of the title are LSD is purely coincidence. It was said that the inspiration for the song came from a picture drawn by John Lennon's son Julian, who was in nursery school at the time. Julian himself called the drawing "Lucy, in the sky with diamonds" but later said he didn't know why he called it that.

Many people believe that the lyrics of the song do talk about an acid trip, and in fact when the song was written, the Beatles had been experimenting with many different drugs, including LSD.

Answer: Walk his dog

"Because I Got High" appeared on Afroman's 2001 album "The Good Times". The song is about how marijuana use slowly started to ruin his life. According to the lyrics, some other things Afroman forgot to do because he was high include going to work, paying child support, and making car payments.

Answer: I'm thinking it must be love

It was featured on their 2004 EP "My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue". Fall Out Boy's big break into the mainstream came in 2005, with the release of the album "From Under the Cork Tree" and the hit single "Sugar, We're Going Down".

Answer: Anberlin

The song is "Dance, Dance, Christa Paffgen", from the 2005 CD "Never Take Friendship Personal". Anberlin are a emo-Christian rock band who do not in any way promote drug use - in fact, that is a possible reason why original guitarist Joey Bruce left the band; according to vocalist Stephen Christian, Bruce was "all about the sex and drugs".

Answer: China Girl

"China Girl" was originally co-written by David Bowie and Iggy Pop for Pop's 1977 album "The Idiot". It didn't become hugely popular until Bowie released it in 1983 and included it on the album "Let's Dance". The song is thought to be about heroin addiction, as "china white" is a street name for heroin, and David Bowie battled drug addiction for many years.

Answer: Givin' Up

"Givin' Up" was a track on The Darkness' debut 2003 CD "Permission to Land". The band enjoyed modest success for a couple of years, but the end came in 2006 when signature vocalist Justin Hawkins took a hiatus to check into rehab (for alcohol and cocaine addiction). After his time in rehab, Hawkins decided it would be best for his health to leave the band altogether.

Answer: Purple Hills

"Purple Pills" appears on D12's 2001 album "Devil's Night". In the radio edit "Purple Hills", lines such as "I've been up Mushroom mountain" and "I take a couple uppers, I take a couple downers" were changed to "I've climbed the highest mountain" and "I've been so many places, I've seen so many faces".

The repeated line "but nothing compares to these blue and yellow, purple pills" was also changed. The song is mainly about ecstasy (MDMA), though E tablets are not often purple... (however, since ecstasy is a manufactured chemical drug, it can be made any colour you want, really.

It's just most often white).

Answer: The Toyes

The song was originally recorded as a single in 1983. Sublime covered it in 1992, on their album "40 Oz. to Freedom", and The Toyes recorded it again in 1996 for their self-titled album. Many people mistakenly believe that the original version was done by Bob Marley.
