Where's My Title! I Want My Title! Part 2 Quiz

Answer: Bullet With Butterfly Wings

The famous opening line is "The world is a vampire..." I've been listening to this song for many years and it only just now occurred to me, writing this quiz, that the line is probably a clever, appropriate way of saying "The world sucks." Because vampires suck, don't they? They suck people's blood.

The title is derived from Ray Bradbury's short story, "The Sound of Thunder."

"Bullet With Butterfly Wings" charted at number 22 in the U.S. and it charted in the top 20 in six different countries.

Answer: Chop Suey!

We know the song was originally called "Suicide" because in the first second of the song, we hear someone saying "We're rolling 'Suicide.'" The band changed the title of the song to make it more radio-friendly. Chop suey is a Chinese food dish but that's not what the song is about. The title comes from the phrase "Self-righteous suicide," which when said out loud sounds like "Self right-chop suey-cide."

Guitarist Daron Malakian said that the song was about how everyone deserves to die, in some people's opinions. Hence the line "I cry when angels deserve to die."

Loudwire magazine ranked "Chop Suey!" number one on their list of greatest hard rock songs of the 21st Century. It charted in seven different countries, including in the top 20 in Australia, Belgium, and the UK.

Answer: Karn Evil 9

This song came more than two decades before Korn's first album, so I don't think they were commenting on that band. "Karn Evil" has music written by keyboardist Keith Emerson, with lyrics co-written by singer Greg Lake and writer Pete Sinfield. "Karn Evil" derives from the word "Carnival," which is probably the "show" mentioned in the song. Even Lake doesn't know where the number 9 came from, but the song's original title was "Gaston 9," so maybe "Gaston" was rejected but "9" was kept.

"Karn Evil 9" is about a war between humans and machines. Humans designed machine to remove all the imperfections in the world and put the imperfections in a carnival or a show for everyone to see. However, then the machines decide to get rid of one more imperfect thing: Humans. The machines kill almost all the humans. One human survives thinking he is victorious, but then the computer tells him "I let you live." The moral of the song could be that trying to get rid of all human imperfections is a bad idea because then you'd have to kill all of us.

"Karn Evil 9" wasn't a single, but it helped its album, "Brain Salad Surgery," chart at number two in the UK and number 11 in the U.S. and go gold in both countries.

Answer: The Trooper

"The Trooper" is a song about the Crimean War.

The single charted at number twelve in the UK and Ireland in 1984. In 2005, a live version of the song was released as a single. That version of the song charted in 11 different countries, including number one in Spain and number five in Canada and Finland.

Answer: Yellow Ledbetter

"Yellow Ledbetter" was one of the first songs Pearl Jam ever wrote. At a 2008 solo show, a fan asked singer Eddie Vedder what the song was about. Vedder said it was about a yellow letter that his friend Tim Ledbetter received in the mail saying that his brother died in the Gulf War.

"Yellow Ledbetter" was first released in 2003 on their album "Lost Dogs," which is a collection of previously unreleased B-sides. Shortly after that, it was included on their 2004 Greatest Hits album. It charted at number 21 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and number 26 on the U.S. Modern Rock chart. It is a fan favorite.

Answer: Ty Cobb

"Ty Cobb" was the fourth single on Soundgarden's sixth album, "Down on the Upside," which came out in 1996 and was Soundgarden's last album for more than 15 years. The song has a quiet, acoustic intro, but then the electric guitars kick in and the pace kicks up.

It was originally called "Hot Rod Death Toll" which is in the lyrics. However, bassist Ben Shephard said that the lyrics reminded him of Ty Cobb, who is one of the greatest baseball players of all-time but also had a reputation for being angry and violent. Singer Chris Cornell said that they weren't writing a song about Ty Cobb and Cornell didn't even know anything about him. The song was just meant to be about someone who's really angry.

Answer: Rockaria!

This song is about a man teaching a female opera singer about rock and roll. In the end, the woman invites him to the opera house to show off what she's learned. The man witnesses an orchestra and chorus playing Chuck Berry songs. He's absolutely amazed at what he's hearing, as are the people on the streets who come in to join in song. It was a combination of rock and orchestra music, which is what Electric Light Orchestra does and what the title refers to. "Aria" is a type of classical music, so it's a song about fusing rock music with aria music, hence the fusion of the two words "rock" and "aria" in the title "Rockaria!"

Aria singer Mary Thomas sings the opening of the song, and she sings again after each chorus. Most of what she sings is in German. In the beginning, she starts too early, meaning the first audible word you hear her say is "Oops."

Answer: Iowa

The name of the song and album is Slipknot's home state.

"Iowa" is a very dark song. Sound effects of screaming women and children can be heard in the song. Singer Corey Taylor said in an interview with FHM magazine that he was naked and cutting himself with broken glass and vomiting when he recorded the song. He did this on purpose, to make the song as strong as it could be. Taylor said that the song is about "Being alone with a corpse."

"Iowa" is over 15 minutes long. The song is not for the faint of heart.

Answer: My Back Pages

Dylan released the song in 1964. At the time he wasn't well-known so his version of the song wasn't a big hit, but then the Byrds covered. The Byrds' version of the song charted in the top 30 in the U.S. and Canada.

Dylan had been thought of as a songwriter who writes about politics. The song is Dylan saying that he won't write any more political songs, that his songs were never meant to be political and he doesn't want to be viewed as a writer of political songs.

Aside from the Byrds, other artists who have covered the song include the Ramones, the Hollies, and Keith Jarret.

Answer: A Day in the Life

In 1967, the Beatles released their revolutionary album "Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts' Club Band," the first album ever to prove that rock music can be crossed over with other types of music. One of the most popular songs on the album is the closer "A Day in the Life."

"A Day in the life" is noted for its violins, musical style changes throughout, and its lyrics. The song is about some newspaper articles John Lennon had read, hence the line "I read the news today oh boy" at the beginning of every verse. The first two verses of the song are about the death of Tara Browne, who was going to inherit all of the fortune of Guinness. Contrary to the lyrics, he didn't "blow his mind out." He didn't shoot himself. He crashed his car.

The final verse of the song is about a different article that Lennon read in the same newspaper about there being over 4,000 holes in roads in Blackburn, Lancashire.

Lennon sings most of the song, but Paul McCartney sings the middle part of the song, which beings "Woke up, fell out of bed."

"A Day in the Life" has been covered by Jeff Beck, Phish, and Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees.
