Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. David and Maddie dance to this classic love song in the pilot episode. He dips her so low she almost falls!

Answer: "Since I Fell For You" by Lenny Welch

Al Jarreau recorded a later version of the song that was heard in another pivotal episode, "Blonde on Blonde". There were no Beatles recordings in any episode (David's version of "Birthday" doesn't count). Avril Lavigne was a toddler in 1986 so I don't believe she had recorded this song yet.

2. David spells out this Aretha Franklin hit in a bar in "The Next Murder You Hear".

Answer: Respect

David's hilarious drunken version of the song utilizes a pool cue as a microphone. He's got a pretty good falsetto too.

3. This Supremes song plays during a sobbing client's supposed suicide mission in "Maddie's Turn To Cry". Try saying THAT three times real fast.

Answer: Stop in the Name of Love

Maddie and David listen from a surveillance van but are too late to stop the woman from supposedly shooting herself. Maddie later figures out the woman was murdered because her make up was still perfect after she died. What a detective!

4. This song about an aging organ is playing on the radio when David kisses old girlfriend, Jillian.

Answer: This Old Heart of Mine

In "Knowing Her", David begins falling back in love with his old flame, played to cold perfection by a young unknown actress named Dana Delaney.

5. Along with the other cast members, Curtis Armstrong (Herbert Viola) sings or lip-sincs his fair share of songs on the show. This song is NOT one of them.

Answer: "I Feel Pretty"

He jumps out of a cake dressed as a rather frightening looking woman to sing "Lady is a Tramp" for a bachelor party. He performs a lip-sinc version of "Wooly Bully" to fill time at the end of an episode and serenades his beloved Agnes with "Sexual Healing".

6. This "Phil Spector Wall of Sound" song plays at the end of "I Am Curious, Maddie", which culminates with David and Maddie sleeping together for the first time.

Answer: "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes, featuring Ronnie SPECTOR

Fans of the show might remember that "Someone to Watch..." and "All the Way" were associated with David's rival, Sam. "Double Shot" was David's morning after the night before song. "Be My Baby" was a great choice not only for its exuberance but also because Maddie turns up pregnant a short time later.

7. This Rolling Stones song plays while David contemplates becoming a "Witness for the Execution", proving once again that he's a man of wealth and taste.

Answer: "Sympathy for the Devil"

An old man in a nursing home dupes David into witnessing his death. When David is accused of murder, he tells Maddie he has to leave town. The passionate "goodbye grope" in the garage is the first onscreen kiss for the duo.

8. Many an episode included a sexually charged song. Amazingly, this one did NOT appear in any "Moonlighting" episode.

Answer: "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye

I don't know how it missed the cut.

9. This happy-go-lucky song made famous by Frank Sinatra is the last song in "Womb With a View".

Answer: "On the Sunny Side of the Street" by Frank Sinatra

This controversial episode features "Baby Hayes" (Bruce Willis)finding out about his parentage before being born into the big, bad world. Most of the action takes place in Maddie's womb (hence the title)and ends with her miscarriage. I've never been able to erase the sight of Bruce Willis in Dr. Dentons no matter how hard I've tried.

10. This Temptations song about a less than perfect parent plays while David tails Maddie's father in "Every Daughter's Father is a Virgin".

Answer: Papa was a Rolling Stone

Maddie's mother (Eva Marie Saint) believes her husband is cheating and Maddie asks David to find out the truth.
