- Listen carefully to this clip:
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Now, FOR ONE POINT PER SONG name BOTH the ARTIST and TITLE of the TEN songs that make up the clip. THEN – for 2 BONUS points, send me a link to a YouTube video featuring a song that could be included in the theme of these clips, released in 2006 by a band with the same name as a family full of baddies from a 1980s movie. (Possible 12 Points total)
The songs, in order are:
The Smith’s – How Soon Is Now?
The Bangles – Walk Like an Egyptian
Paul Simon – Me & Julio Down by the School Yard
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros – Home
Supertramp – Goodbye Stranger
Bobby McFerrin – Don’t Worry Be Happy
Peter, Bjorn & John – Young Folks
The J. Geil’s Band – Centerfold
Guns & Roses – Patience
Otis Redding – Sitting on the Dock of the Bay
I think everyone figured out the band was The Fratellis. Some, however didn’t figure out the theme that tied all of the songs together – “WHISTLING“. So only the players who sent YouTube links to “Whistle for the Choir” were given the bonus points.
- I just did an image search for a single word. For 2 POINTS, take a look below at some of the results that came back, and tell me what the word was. For 2 BONUS POINTS, explain how each of the 9 images is related to the search term.
Most of you figured out that the word was “MARION”. The bonus was a bit more tricky:
Marion “Shug” Knight
John Wayne (Born Marion Morrison)
Actress, Marion Cotillard
Marion Jones
John Gotti famously served time in Marion Federal Prison
The yellow shape is Marion County, Florida
Aerial photo of Marion Prison
Francis Marion University
And the one that messed up the most players – the background image is a screenshot of the opening title sequence from Happy Days, with Marion Ross – who played Marion Cunningham.
- Patrick did something special 4 decades ago. 14 years later, Vincent (someone with an academic connection to Patrick) matched Patrick’s feat. Just recently, another person with the same connection joined Patrick and Vincent. For 2 POINTS, What was their achievement, and who was the third person?Pat Sullivan and Vincent “Bo” Jackson both won Heisman Trophies while playing for Auburn University. The most recent Heisman winner, Cam Newton joins them as the third Auburn Tiger.

- Got their name from a football team

The Kaiser Chiefs took their name from the South African football club, Kaizer Chiefs. Their first #1 single was Ruby, and their bass player is Simon Rix….not Rex.
- There are three women who have something very specific in common. Their names were Mary, Iva, and Mildred. Mary came first and the other two joined her 84 years later. FOR 2 POINTS, what is their connection?They were all convicted of treason against the United States. Mary Surratt in 1865 for the conspiracy behind President Lincoln’s assassination, Iva Toguri D’Aquino, better known as “Tokyo Rose”, and Mildred Gillars, better known as “Axis Sally”.

This is the “hobo sign” for “The man who lives here has a gun.“

Damn. I initially thought that was “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” but I changed it. And the hobo code should have been fresh in my mind with all the “Mad Men” I’ve watched lately.
Dammit. I was remembering the cityscape picture from the preliminary round when I wrote down Boston. I know that’s not Boston.
Dan and I get profane over trivia mistakes.
I certainly understand the emotional response. Gosh dang it.
