Subject: 1 hit wonders NONHITS: 1/2 half!!!
This is a tough quiz for some, but this quiz revolves around other songs by one hit wonders (usually the failed second singles). You'd have to be as smart as me to get this stuff right. But good luck anyway.
1| If Alexander Bell were alive today
Would he want the telephone to be used this way? Rockwell "Obscene Phone Caller"
2| 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky Jimi Hendrix "Purple Haze"
3| All that I am asking for is ten gold dollars
I could pay you back with one good hand Grateful Dead "Loser"
4| I'm worth a million in prizes
With my torture film Iggy Pop "Lust for Life"
5| I met a pretty girl on a date last night
And let me tell you now she was groovy Iron Butterfly
6| Johnny played guitar, Jenny played bass.
Name of the band is The Human Race. Men without Hats "Pop Goes the World"
7| When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed Randy Newman "You've Got a Friend in Me"
8| My sneakers was old, and my coat was thin
But my determination kept me goin within
I had nobody to help me as you can SEE..
I'm alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally (No Gilbert O'Sullivan didn't become a rapper)
Biz Markie "Alone Again (Naturally)"
Subject: Re: other songs by 1 hit wonders
3. Loser--Beck
7. You've Got a Friend in Me--it's from Toy Story; I think it's by Randy Travis? ??? I'm probably wrong, I don't exactly remember who sang it
Subject: Re: other songs by 1 hit wonders
2. Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze
4. Iggy Pop - Lust for Life
6. Men Without Hats - Pop Goes the World
7. Randy Newman - You've Got a Friend in Me
Subject: Re: other songs by 1 hit wonders
5. In a gadda da vida - Iron Butterfly
Subject: Re: other songs by 1 hit wonders: 4 left (+ 1/2's)
A lot of you were really close to the right answers. The Iron Butterfly song is on the "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" album, but is not the title track.
Subject: Re: other songs by 1 hit wonders: 4 left (+ 1/2's)
HINTS:
#3: Legendary rock band known for being "deceased"
#5: Ask this question and it will be answered by "clapping your hands"
#8: This guy is "just an enemy" of Gilbert O'Sullivan's. His only hit was recently remade by "Luigi's brother."
Subject: Re: other songs by 1 hit wonders: 4 left (+ 1/2's)
1. Obscene Phone Caller-Rockwell
Subject: Re: other songs by 1 hit wonders: 4 left (+ 1/2's)
8. is just a friend by bizmarkie
Subject: Re: other songs by 1 hit wonders: 3 left (+ 1/2's)
im going to guess the grateful dead for number three
Subject: Re: other songs by 1 hit wonders: (Can't count!)
I lost count on this quiz, so i can't determine how many you have left to answer (2/2=1). You have 1/2 a question plus another half of another question left. Is that 1? Anyway, those hints should have helped you by now.
The easiest way to do this is to cheat, which I will allow you to do on this quiz.

5| I met a pretty girl on a date last night

HINTS
5| Are you sad, are you mad, or...........? If you are and you know it clap your hands. If if ask this question to Ashanti, she will say yes. RU :)?
8| Rip-off of Gilbert O'Sullivan #1 hit, and it IS NOT "Just a Friend." A sequel to Heart's 1986 hit!
Remember, I'm allowing you to cheat, because this is either a tough quiz or you guys never went to this little place called school (j/k).
Subject: Re: 1 hit wonders NONHITS: (NEW HINTS THAT GIVE AW
8. Alone Again-Biz Markie
Subject: Re: 1 hit wonders NONHITS: 1/2 half!!!
#5 is the fifth track off of the "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," in case the only song you listen to on the album is the 17-minute title track.
Oh, go look it up and cheat. I give up!
