ROUND 35!




August 1, 1981: MTV launches, playing "Video Killed the Radio Star," by the Buggles, its first video ever. Twenty minutes later, MTV plays "Rockin' the Paradise" by Styx, which turns out to be its last video ever, as the channel then launches into a twenty-four-hour Road Rules marathon.

STRAIGHT TO VIDEOS

1. California's Venice High School, which became Rydell High in the film Grease, was also the setting for what career-making 1998 video?
2. What legendary director shot the Michael Jackson video "Bad"?
3. What video made stars of the overall-clad "Sal" and "Harv"?
4. What musician, killed on February 3, 1959, is believed to have coined the term "music video" when he made short films for three of his songs in 1958?
5. Who are Nathan Wind, Vic Colfari, and Sir Stewart Wallace?
6. What Oscar winner also won an MTV Video Music Award in 2001 for Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice" video?
7. In what 1992 video do words like "numb," "problem," and "harmless" flash on the screen, in chalk, mirroring the lyric "Try to erase this from the blackboard"?
8. What smash video features a vintage performance by the fictional band The Love Below?
9. Aardman Animations, of Wallace and Gromit fame, is also responsible for what most-played video in MTV history?
10. What video's literary images include the martyred Saint Sebastian and Gabriel Garcia Márquez's "Very Old Man with Enormous Wings"?

1. Britney Spears' "...Baby One More Time"
3. Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing"
6. Spike Jonze
7. Pearl Jam's "Jeremy"
8. OutKast's "Hey Ya!"
9. Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" (?)
10. R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion"

2. Martin Scorsese
4. February 3 '59? Gotta be Buddy Holly

5. The "stars" of the faux-70s cop show that is Spike Jonze's glorious video for the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage".

6. Jonze directed "Weapon of Choice", but I think the correct answer here is the video's star, Oscar-winner Christopher Walken.

Sorry Klauw, but #4 is incorrect...

#4 is another guy aboard the plane the day the music died. The Big Bopper.

And that completes it. Here are the answers all in one place.




1. "...Baby One More Time" (Britney Spears)
2. Martin Scorsese
3. "Money for Nothing" (Dire Straits)
4. The Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson)
5. Characters in the Beastie Boys' cop-show spoof "Sabotage"
6. Christopher Walken
7. "Jeremy" (Pearl Jam)
8. "Hey Ya!" (OutKast)
9. "Sledgehammer" (Peter Gabriel)
10. "Losing My Religion" (R.E.M.)




Regarding #6, Spike Jonze has never won an Oscar, while Walken won Best Supporting Actor for 1978's The Deer Hunter. If I'm remembering correctly, one of the VMAs that "Weapon of Choice" won was for Best Choreography, and Walken was one of the three people listed as "choreographer" for the video. Hope that explains it.

ROUND 36 NEXT!

Time for round 36!



August 28, 1964: At New York's Delmonico Hotel, Bob Dylan turns the Beatles on to marijuana.

4. "Amphetamine," 1997
5. "Alcohol," 2005

1. The Velvet Underground

5. CSS

# 2 could also be J.J. Cale (written by him, unless I'm mistaken, but made famous by Clapton -- and I've no idead who'se version was first issued)

Aww, only 3 out of the 5? I'm surprised! But then, when I look at the ones you guys missed, I think I can make some assumptions about your musical tastes...




1. The Velvet Underground
2. Eric Clapton
3. Faith No More
4. Everclear
5. Brad Paisley



ROUND 37 NEXT!

ROUND 37! Ahhh, something tells me this round might suit you all nicely...




September 21, 1979: Paul Simonon of the Clash smashes his bass against the stage during a concert at New York's Palladium. Photographer Pennie Smith captures the moment, which becomes the cover of London Calling and one of the most famous images in rock history.

2. Jimi Hendrix
3. Slash
4. Eric Clapton

8. Steve Vai

ROUND 38 NEXT!

ROUND 38!




September 24, 1848: Branwell Brontë, the only brother of literature's famous Brontë sisters, dies of tuberculosis. Branwell was a hard-partying alcoholic and probably a drug addict — as you could no doubt tell from the bad-ass heavy-metal umlaut over the "e" in his name.

PUNK-TUATION: Correctly place the unnecessary umlauts in each of these bands' names.

1. Blue Oyster Cult
2. Husker Du
3. Motley Crue
4. Motorhead
5. Queensryche
6. Spinal Tap

Mötley Crüe
Queensrÿche
Motörhead
Blue Öyster Cult

2. Hüsker Dü
6. Umlaut over the "n"

That finishes it off! I see Klauw had just as much difficulty as me putting the umlaut over Spinal Tap's "n"! Somehow my trivia book managed to get it right, but I just took the easy way out with typing up the answers.




1. Over the "o" in "oyster"
2. Over the "u" in "husker" and the "u" in "du"
3. Over the "o" in "motley" and the "u" in "crue"
4. Over the second "o"
5. Over the "y"
6. Over the "n" in "spinal"




ROUND 39 NEXT!

September 29, 1967: The BBC airs a radio play of King Lear. Part of Act IV, Scene VI, will go out to an unexpectedly large audience when the Beatles, recording at Abbey Road, overdub four lines of the bard's dialogue onto the end of "I Am the Walrus."

SHUT UP AND SING: Which songs feature these snatches of spoken-word chatter?

1. "Hal and his famous ashtray!"
2. "This ain't no disco. It ain't no country club either. This is L.A.!"
3. "This ain't rock 'n' roll. This is genocide!"
4. "Señores y señoras, nosotros tenemos más influencia con sus hijos que tu tiene."
5. "I've got blisters on my fingers!"
6. "Do I what? Will I what? Oh, baby, you knooow what I like!"
7. "Weddings, parties, anything. With bongo jazz a specialty!"
8. "Come on, girls, do you believe in love? 'Cause I got something to say about it, and it goes something like this."
9. "You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising."
10. "Yeah, this album is dedicated to all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothin'."

1. Barbara Ann- The Beach Boys
2. All I wanna Do- Sheryl Crow
5. Helter Skelter- The Beatles
8. Express Yourself- Madonna
9. Money- Pink Floyd
10. Juicy- Notorious B.I.G.

4. Stop - Jane's Addiction
5. Helter Skelter - The Beatles

Any other guesses?

3. DAVID BOWIE "Future Legend / Diamond Dogs"

6)Chantilly Lace - Big Bopper
Haven't heard that one for a while...

7. The Clash, "Revolution Rock"

10 for 10! Back in the saddle again! Here are the answers.




1. "Barbara Ann" (The Beach Boys)
2. "All I Wanna Do" (Sheryl Crow)
3. "Diamond Dogs" (David Bowie)
4. "Stop!" (Jane's Addiction)
5. "Helter Skelter" (The Beatles)

7. "Revolution Rock" (The Clash)
8. "Express Yourself" (Madonna)
9. "Money" (Pink Floyd)
10. "Juicy" (The Notorious B.I.G.)




ROUND 40 NEXT!

October 10, 1939: A woman named Eleanor Rigby dies in Liverpool at age 44. Her tombstone will be discovered decades later at Saint Peter's Parish in Woolton, just a few feet from the spot where John Lennon first meets Paul McCartney — but there's no evidence that this Eleanor actually inspired the song of the same name.

WHO ARE YOU? I REALLY WANNA KNOW: Answer these questions about people in songs.

1. What state did Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" hail from?
2. What title character do we meet down at the New Amsterdam striking up "a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer"?
3. Whom did Lou Reed find "sweet," Beck consider a "soldier," and Perry Farrell quote as saying, "I'm done with Sergio. He treats me like a rag doll"?
4. How old is ABBA's "Dancing Queen"?
5. What 1983 hit did Quincy Jones want to rename, fearing that everyone would assume the title character was the tennis superstar?
6. What swashbuckling rogue from a 1921 novel does Freddie Mercury ask to "do the fandango"?
7. What title character in a 1970 song is named for a moon princess in Persian poetry and based on George Harrison's wife, Pattie?
8. What's the name of the girl to whom Bruce Springsteen insists he's "Born to Run"?
9. What title character of a 2000 hit has become hip-hop slang for an obsessive fanboy?
10. What do these songs have in common: "Behind the Wall of Sleep" by the Smithereens, "Slow Turning" by John Hiatt, and "Funky Cold Medina" by Tone-Loc?

1. Louisiana
2. Mr Jones
3. Jane
4. 17
5. Billie Jean
6. Scaramouche

7. Layla
8. Wendy
9. Stan

10. All three name-check individual members of the Rolling Stones. I -did- Google-cheat a little on this, but I immediately remembered that "Behind the Wall of Sleep" references Bill Wyman (of all people!) and I just wanted to see if my hunch was correct. For the record, "Slow Turning" mentions Charlie Watts and "Funky Cold Medina" references Mick Jagger.

Running the table again! Well done, all!




1. Louisiana
2. "Mr. Jones" (Counting Crows)
3. Jane
4. Only seventeen
5. "Billie Jean" (Michael Jackson)
6. Scaramouche
7. Layla
8. Wendy
9. Stan
10. Each mentions a Rolling Stone: "like Bill Wyman," "like Charlie Watts," and "like Mick Jagger," respectively



ROUND 41 NEXT!

ROUND 41!

1. What former frontman of the Jam played lead guitar on Oasis's "Champagne Supernova"?
2. What Detroit rock band was dropped by Elektra Records during the controversy over its song "Kick Out the Jams"?
3. What NBA player was Pearl Jam originally named for?
4. What 1986 New Wave hit, written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, is the only Billboard number one ever in which the artist's name contains the title of the song?
5. Who became president of Def Jam Records in 2005?

1. Paul Weller
2. The MC5
3. Earl "The Pearl" Monroe?
5. Jay-Z

Re: Harold Wexler... No on #3.

3. Mookie Blaylock

Edit: 4. Human- Human League... After reading the question over again this now makes sense.

That wraps up this round!




1. Paul Weller
2. MC5
3. Mookie Blaylock
4. "Human," the Human League
5. Jay-Z




Interesting little factoid regarding Pearl Jam (and I got this off of Wikipedia, so you KNOW it's true!). The band was originally going to be called "Mookie Blaylock," after the basketball player. Their album Ten is even a reference to Blaylock's jersey number.

ROUND 42! This one is going to be WAY too easy for you guys...




November 8, 1971: "Stairway to Heaven" is released on that Led Zeppelin album with the funk runes that I can't type here. But the iconic song is never released as a single, because Zeppelin refuses to cut down its eight-minute running time.

HOW LONG? HOW LONG MUST WE SING THIS SONG?: Name the artists who tried our patience with these ten-minute-plus epics.

Easy
1. "The End"
2. "Shine On, You Crazy Diamond"
3. "Rapper's Delight"
4. "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)"
5. "In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida"

1. The Doors
2. Pink Floyd
3. Sugarhill Gang
4. Meatloaf
5. Iron Butterfly
6. Television
7. Velvet Underground
9. Jimi Hendrix

8. Jane's Addiction
10. Rush

11. Dire Straits
12. Yo La Tengo
14. Sonic Youth

Hmm... I was certain you guys would get all fifteen of these! I suppose fourteen out of fifteen is nothing to sneeze at though.




1. The Doors
2. Pink Floyd
3. The Sugarhill Gang
4. Meat Loaf
5. Iron Butterfly
6. Television
7. The Velvet Underground
8. Jane's Addiction
9. Jimi Hendrix

11. Dire Straits
12. Yo La Tengo
13. Bob Dylan
14. Sonic Youth
15. Tool




It would appear that there aren't many Tool fans here... Hmm...

ROUND 43 NEXT!

As soon as this round came up, I knew that it had this forum's name written all over it. Here's to the first person to get it.




November 9, 1967: The first issue of Rolling Stone is published, using a mailing list that Jann Wenner stole from a Bay Area radio station.

(LIKE A) ROLLING STONE: These are fifteen songs from Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time," with only the parenthesized parts of the song title shown. Can you restore the rest of the title?

Easy
1. (I Can't Get No)

11. (We're Gonna)
12. (To Stop Now)

11. Rock Around the Clock
12. I've Been Loving You Too Long
13. I Never Loved a Man

Also, technically #6 is "Voodoo Child" ("Chile" is the earlier, longer version).

37 minutes. I don't know if that's a record, but it's gotta be close!




1. "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"
2. "Da Doo Ron Ron (When He Walked Me Home)"
3. "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"

11. "(We're Gonna) Rock Around the Clock"
12. "I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)"
13. "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)"
14. "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher"
15. "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine"




ROUND 44 NEXT!

ROUND 44!




November 24, 1976: At San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom, the Band gives its famous farewell concert, The Last Waltz. Since it's Thanksgiving Day, the crowd enjoys a turkey dinner before the Band takes the stage.

ALL I GOTTA DO IS ACT NATURALLY: What artists were featured in these documentaries/concert films?

Easy
1. Stop Making Sense
2. Gimme Shelter
3. Let It Be
4. The Song Remains the Same
5. The Kids Are Alright

Harder

13. Pixies?

4. Led Zeppelin

11. Wilco (watched it last week)

9. The Sex Pistols

15. Sting

Just an FYI... You've guessed correctly on all of them except for #12, 13, and 14. (Sorry but #13 is not the Pixies.)

I couldn't help look up "Wild man blues" (great title), and if a hint is gonna help anyone, it's about someone not primarily (not even secondarily, I guess) thought of as a musician ...

14. Oasis

and I've known each and every other one that other people have guessed... don't know the Wild Man Blues one though.

I,ve also cheated and looked up the answer to the Wild Man Blues one, and I will be seriously impressed with the person that gets the answer.

Somebody has to be a fan. I didn't know it either but I would think somebody has seen it or heard of it. But, I think for it to really count you'd need two answers.

#13 isn't the full title of the film.

Agreed, if anyone knows #12, you get mad props. And it is admittedly two answers: a person and a band.
And since we're on the trend of giving hints, the full title for #13 is "Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns)".

...I fear I've said too much.



I was going to post the answers tonight, but given the recent action on this thread, I'll wait 24 hours. So here's your chance!

Well, it's been long enough. Here's your answers.




1. Talking Heads
2. The Rolling Stones
3. The Beatles
4. Led Zeppelin
5. The Who
6. Bob Dylan
7. Metallica
8. The Dixie Chicks

13. They Might Be Giants
14. Oasis
15. Sting




ROUND 45 NEXT!

December 3, 1976: A helium pig is flown over London's Battersea Power Station, for the shooting of the photo on the cover of Pink Floyd's Animals. High winds snap the pig loose (an on-hand marksman having been sent home as an insurance risk) and the out-of-control balloon leads to grounded flights at Heathrow Airport and a lengthy pursuit in a police helicopter.

ZOOROPA: What animal is pictured on the covers of these pop albums?

1. Pet Sounds, the Beach Boys
2. Doolittle, the Pixies
3. Tapestry, Carole King
4. The College Dropout, Kanye West
5. Armed Forces, Elvis Costello & the Attractions
6. Graceland, Paul Simon
7. Vs., Pearl Jam
8. For Your Pleasure, Roxy Music
9. American Recordings, Johnny Cash
10. Enema of the State, blink-182

I dont know much, but I'll give a couple a shot


1. Goat
2. Monkey
4. Bear
5. Elephant
6. Horse
7. Llama?

8: A panther or something very like it?
(I thought that was Carol herself on the cover of "Tapestry", but I guess she has a pet with her, but I've forgotten which)

Isn't #7 a sheep? I know #10 has a nurse on it, but that probably doesn't count as an animal.

3. Cat
9. Dogs (x2)
10. One of their other albums has a bull. The nurse has a butterfly tattoo on Enema of the State??

Bingo! Personally, I think Jennings cheated a little on #10, but you all managed to get it! Here's your answers.




1. Goats
2. A monkey
3. A cat
4. A bear (suit)
5. An elephant
6. A horse
7. A sheep
8. A panther
9. Dogs
10. A butterfly (tattoo)




ROUND 46 NEXT!

December 9, 1970: Jerry Lee Lewis is divorced from his third wife and second cousin, Myra Gale Brown. Or was it second wife and third cousin? Anyway, the thirteen-year-old.

ALL KILLER, NO FILLER

1. Who wrote the slogan "This machine kills fascists" on his guitar?
2. A concert by what 1970s singer-songwriter was the inspiration for "Killing Me Softly with His Song?"
3. Arthur "Killer" Kane played bass for what seminal punk band?
4. What Bruce Springsteen title track is narrated by a serial killer?
5. What celebrity sibling appears in the video to the Killers' "Mr. Brightside"?

2 - Don McLean
4 - Nebraska

1. Woody Guthrie
5. That has to be Julia's older brother Eric Roberts

3. New York Dolls

Very sorry for the long delay in posting these answers. Needless to say, you got them all correct. Kudos! Here are your answers.




1. Woody Guthrie
2. Don McLean
3. The New York Dolls
4. "Nebraska"
5. Eric Roberts




ROUND 47 NEXT!

ROUND 47! After looking at some of these answers, I think you're going to need a little bit of luck. But we'll see...




December 12, 1917: Father Flanagan founds Boys Town, Nebraska.

BOY BANDS: What "Boys" recorded these albums?

Easy
1. Licensed to Ill
2. Cooleyhighharmony
3. Surf's Up
4. Millennium

Harder
5. Please
6. Sacred
7. Till Death Do Us Part
8. Step On Out

Yeah, Good Luck
9. Stop Staring at Me!
10. Young, Loud and Snotty
11. Crushin'
12. Fisherman's Blues

1. Beastie Boys
3. Beach Boys
4. Backstreet Boys

2. Boyz II Men

5. Pet Shop Boys

10. Dead Boys
12. Waterboys

This was admittedly one of the more difficult rounds out there. When I did it on my own, I got the first four and the last one (and probably should have gotten #5...). Looking back, maybe the best way to approach this round is to think of recording artists with "boys" in the name, then go from there. Some of these are really off-the-wall. At least, they are to my way of thinking. Enough of my rambling, here's the answers.




1. Beastie Boys
2. Boyz II Men
3. The Beach Boys
4. Backstreet Boys
5. Pet Shop Boys
6. Los Lonely Boys
7. The Geto Boys
8. The Oak Ridge Boys
9. The Jerky Boys
10. The Dead Boys
11. The Fat Boys
12. The Waterboys





I personally thought it was a little underhanded to include the Jerky Boys, but the question didn't specify that it had to be a musical act. ROUND 48 NEXT!

ROUND 48! Hopefully this will be a little better than the last line of questions.




December 13, 1977: The Bee Gees release their disco hit "Stayin' Alive." The drummer listed on the track is the fictitious "Bernard Lupe," as the song's drum part is actually a sample from the already recorded "Night Fever."

A G THANG: What number one song by each of these artists leaves a final g off an "-ing" word of the title, just like "Stayin' Alive"?

Easy
1. Ricky Martin
2. Alicia Keys
3. Bon Jovi
4. B.J. Thomas
5. Will Smith

Harder
6. Ricky Nelson
7. The Temptations

3. Bon Jovi- Livin' on a Prayer
7. The Temptations- Papa was a Rollin' Stone

1. Livin' La Vida Loca
8. Cracklin' Rose
15. Lovin' You

5.Gettin' Jiggy Wit' It(?)
13.Keep On Truckin'(?)

9. Feel Like Makin' Love
11. Tossin' and Turnin'

Just to let you guys know, you've answered all 15 questions, but one of them is not right.

has to be Stevie Wonder: either You Haven't Done Nothin' or Master Blaster (Jammin')

Indeed it is! Good to see that this round wasn't as weird as the last one.

Here's your answers.




1. "Livin' La Vida Loca"
2. "Fallin'"
3. "Livin' on a Prayer"
4. "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head"
5. "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It"

12. "Lightnin' Strikes"
13. "Keep on Truckin'"
14. "You Haven't Done Nothin'"
15. "Lovin' You"



ROUND 49 NEXT!
