Question 1 of 10
1. A dog may be man's best friend, but Marilyn Monroe had it right when she sang that pure carbon was better. My daughter's excuse is that it's her birthstone, so you can't argue with that. Which song is this? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Cyndi Lauper hit the charts in 1983/84 with which feminist song about girls living life to the fullest? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. My eldest daughter assures me that a night on the town does not involve any imbibing, but I'm sure she's telling whoppers. Hopefully the Eagles aren't leading her astray with their alcoholic offering. Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. A few years ago my daughter morphed into an alien being; a teenaged girl. Madonna was right on the money when she described the mentality of the stereotypical teenage girl in a hit song. But possibly it was just mine. Hint

Question 6 of 10
6. The sweetness of first love, but oh! The angst when it's over! Celine Dion has a lot to answer for when she had my daughters singing this movie theme song ad nauseum in 1997. Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. In my youth, disco reigned supreme. But my daughter claims she is not a dancer in any way shape or form. So she cannot lay claim to emulating one of ABBA's greatest songs. What is she not? Hint

Question 9 of 10

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. A dog may be man's best friend, but Marilyn Monroe had it right when she sang that pure carbon was better. My daughter's excuse is that it's her birthstone, so you can't argue with that. Which song is this?

Answer: Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

The song "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" was originally sung by Carol Channing in the Broadway production of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", but was most famously sung by Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 movie. Marilyn needed help with the song, as she couldn't reach the high notes. The series of "no's" were dubbed in by soprano Marni Nixon.

Answer: Girls Just Want To Have Fun

"Girls Just Want To Have Fun" was Cyndi Lauper's first solo release, and it became a worldwide hit. Since then over 30 artists have covered it on albums and in live performances. It has also featured in the movies "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" (2007) and the stage production of "Priscilla: Queen of the Desert- the Musical".
3. My eldest daughter assures me that a night on the town does not involve any imbibing, but I'm sure she's telling whoppers. Hopefully the Eagles aren't leading her astray with their alcoholic offering.

4. A few years ago my daughter morphed into an alien being; a teenaged girl. Madonna was right on the money when she described the mentality of the stereotypical teenage girl in a hit song. But possibly it was just mine.

Answer: Material Girl

Madonna released the iconic "Material Girl" in 1985, from her "Like a Virgin" album. The music clip copied Marilyn Monroe's "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" performance from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (1953).
5. Self-confidence, that's what girls need to survive in the big, wide world today. It helps when the new mantra being sung was the theme song for a hit 2006 Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway movie.

Answer: Suddenly I See

K. T. Tunstall's girl power song "Suddenly I See" was released in 2005 and reached number 12 on the UK Singles charts and number 6 on the Australian Aria charts. After the song featured in the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006) Tunstall allegedly claimed it made it sound like she wanted to be a model. The song has also featured in many television shows, advertisements and video games.
6. The sweetness of first love, but oh! The angst when it's over! Celine Dion has a lot to answer for when she had my daughters singing this movie theme song ad nauseum in 1997.

Answer: My Heart Will Go On

"My Heart Will Go On" was the theme song for the movie "Titanic" (1997) and was released on Celine Dion's 1997 album "Let's Talk About Love". It was the best selling single of 1998, and is arguably one of the best selling singles of all time.
7. In my youth, disco reigned supreme. But my daughter claims she is not a dancer in any way shape or form. So she cannot lay claim to emulating one of ABBA's greatest songs. What is she not?
