Carl Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 This was a pretty good quiz, and an Aimee Mann prize pack was up for grabs along with the T-shirt. If you haven't heard her new CD, it's definitely worth a listen - The Forgotten Arm. Louise from Birmingham, England wins the clean and comfortable T-shirt, as well as the Aimee Mann prize pack - her CD The Forgotten Arm and her live DVD. Here are the answers:What famous band released 2 consecutive albums with titles that were 4-digit numbers? - Van Halen 1984 and 5150What famous band that started in the '60s smashed their equipment after most of their shows? - The Who What hit from 2004 has the same name as a famous movie from the '50s. - "Vertigo" by U2 What famous band changed the spelling of their name so they could get the domain name? - Linkin Park What musician has been in movies with Elizabeth Hurley, George Clooney, Jennifer Connelly and Jennifer Lopez? - Ice Cube What song is a tribute to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson? - Nightshift by The Commodores Name a popular group for each of the following that has a hyphen (-) in their name: Girl group from the '60s Rock group from the '70s Rock group from the '90s and '00s. - The Shangri-Las, Bachman-Turner-Overdrive, Blink-182. This is where it gets a little subjective. We gave full credit for T-Rex, and partial credit for Sleater-Kinney. A lot of people got The Shangri-Las.What Jewish singer wrote a religious rock song that was a hit in the '70s? - Norman Greenbaum - "Spirit In The Sky" Cat Stevens and Bob Dylan were popular guesses.What acapella song became a hit when a dance beat was added to it 3 years later? - "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega What still-active British band lost their guitarist when he disappeared in 1995? - The Manic Street Preachers Richey Edwards disappeared, but his body was never recovered. Thanks to everyone who took the quiz, and be sure to take the new one here.
circe_chiron Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 no way!! i won?? really? yaaaaaaaaaaaay! goodness me! yaaaaaaay! excellent quiz!!
Tenacious_Peaches Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 I was so close...I didn't get "Tom's Diner" and I put Sleater-Kinney instead of Blink-182. I've never been that close...I think I deserve at least a bumper sticker.
Malakin Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 Those tie breakers kill ya! That's two months in a row that I've been at the top but lost to those..
Foxy Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 I'm never gonna win one of these damn quizzes....
Carl Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Posted May 23, 2005 Andy- You were way too low on the tiebreaker. If you get all of them right on this one, we'll send you a shirt even if you don't get closest.
Malakin Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 Thanks Carl, but I've already gotten a T-Shirt.. Maybe a year and a half or so ago.. I was just trying to start the "I've got 2, 2! ha ha ha! songfacts t-shirts" club. I'll keep trying fair and square.
_jr_ Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 Aarrrrgh!!! I had them all right, except the Suzanne Vega one. Somebody told me it was The Macarena. Doesn't matter anyway. I, once again, forgot to hand it in.
Kevin Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 Congradulations, Circe ! Although I've been around alot longer than yourself, I'm still in the Songfacts remedial classes ... you must be one of those accelerated students !
regulardave Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 9 again... curse you Bob Dylan for not writing a popular religious song...
Malakin Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 Heh, Kevin's post just made me notice that I've been registerd on the forums longer than Carl. ::
Lambchop Flansburgh Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 I can't believe I missed "Vertigo"! Argh. And Ice Cube! I knew I should've just checked imdb.com. Ah well, on to next month!
Levis Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 I like Lambchop Flansburgh...and I like saying his name over and over in my head... Lambchop Flansburgh... Lambchop Flansburgh... funn ::
_jr_ Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 I like the name , too. You only get to see him after the answers to a quiz have been posted.
SoulGirl Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 i have a question though, do you pronounce the 'burgh' part like edinburgh (e.g. borough) or like hapsburg (e.g. burg) at least then i'll know how to pronounce it in my head when i read it!
circe_chiron Posted June 6, 2005 Report Posted June 6, 2005 the prizes arrived this morning! ohh they're so lovely! thank you so much!
_jr_ Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 I would like to officially announce I will win this month. I have all ten right, have guessed the exact number of participants, and even remembered to turn it in this month. You will see at the top of the list: Dave, from Newark, De. It's in the bank.
_Laurie_ Posted June 14, 2005 Report Posted June 14, 2005 I would like to announce that I have attempted the quiz for my very first time....I have a question though....I did the quiz when the site was having some problems, so I'm not sure if it got through, so is there a way to find out? do I do the quiz again??? sorry to be a pain, but I've never done the quiz before....I dont think I did very good anyways
Lambchop Flansburgh Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 I would like to announce that I'm only going to get 9 right this month at the most, and also that it's pronounced "burg" as in "iceberg." It's the last name of one of the 2 lead singers in my favorite band.
SoulGirl Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 I would like to officially announce I will win this month. I have all ten right, have guessed the exact number of participants, and even remembered to turn it in this month. You will see at the top of the list: Dave, from Newark, De. how right he turned out to be!! although technically his name wasn't at the *top* of the list...! It's in the bank.
