Cody from Great Neck, NY wins a clean and comfortable Songfacts T-Shirt.

Here are the answers:

  • What song mentions a "Real Estate Novelist"?
    - "Piano Man" by Billy Joel

  • What famous band has a member who is a pilot and owns a collection of classic airplanes?
    - Pink Floyd
    Dave Gilmour owns a company called Intrepid Aviation. A great answer on this one was Iron Maiden, since Bruce Dickinson is a pilot. To the best of my knowledge, he does not own classic planes. (note - this was Cody's guess, and the only one he got wrong. If we gave credit for Maiden, it would not have changed the outcome.)

  • What famous singer has a child named "Paris"?
    - Michael Jackson

  • What was the last Australian group to have a #1 hit in the US?
    - Savage Garden
    They hit #1 in 1998 with "Truly, Madly, Deeply."

  • Worldwide, what is the best-selling album recorded in the '60s?
    - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles
    The guess that showed up more than a few times was The White Album.

  • What famous singer played the role of a well-known actress in a 2004 movie?
    - Gwen Stefani
    She played Jean Harlow in The Aviator.

  • What famous guitar player died in a plane crash in 1982?
    - Randy Rhoades

  • What popular group had a member named Keren?
    - Bananarama
    The group is much more popular outside the US, so this was a tough one for folks in The States.

  • What famous song has 3 separate numbers in the title?
    - 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago

  • What hit from the '80s has a title that is a Greek word?
    - Kyrie
    It's Greek for "Lord, have mercy." By far, the most popular wrong answer was Xanadu. That ain't Greek.
