Subject: The Ultimate ULTRAVOX Quiz! COMPLETE!!!!!!!
Written By: Absolutely Vile on 09/25/04 at 12:02 pm
Let's see how many closet fans can be brought out of the woodwork! There are no limits as to how many questions one can answer, since I highly doubt any one person will get all of them!
1. Midge Ure was not their original singer! Who was it?
stingr22 -
2. What year did their debut album come out? (Hint: Elvis died the same year)
Bobo -
3. A punctuation mark was tacked on to the end of their name for their first two albums. What was it?
Bobo -
4. Which song was shamefully kept from the #1 spot in the UK by a terrible novelty song in early 1981?
Bobo -
5. Which legendary producer produced their 1982 album Quartet?
Paul -
6. Who narrates "Mr. X" and also does the spoken word bit on the LP version of "We Came To Dance?" (Hint: It ain't Midge!)
Criminally Vulgar -
7. What was Ultravox originally called, and what was the name of the single they released under that name in 1975? (Hint: A flower containing the name of a member of the feline family in its name. The song is bad grammar for "not being bad.")
IndyGent -
8. Name two of the four songs they performed at Live Aid. (Or if you can, name all four!)
Bobo -
9. Who was the other band member who participated in the Band Aid project besides Midge? (Hint: Someone with a longer version of the same name had a hit with a song called "Sailing.")
CeramicsFanatic -
10. Which song was also done in German as a B-side? What's its German title? (Hint: It's one of the songs mentioned in Question 6. The translation shouldn't be too difficult.)
Criminally Vulgar -
11. Where is Warren Cann (the drummer) from originally? (You can state either just the country or the specific place.) (Hint: It's the same country I'm from, eh! Specific place: Capital city on the west coast, "on an island in the Pacific," as he himself has said.)
Criminally Vulgar -
12. How many members did the Ultravox of the 1970's have? (Hint: One more than they did in the 80's.)
CeramicsFanatic -
13. What does "Ultravox" mean?
Paul -
14. There has always been one musical instrument prominent in Ultravox' music which made them unique (in my opinon, anyway). What was it, and which band member played it? (Hint: String instrument usually seen in symphonies. Played by someone who shares his surname with a member of The Thompson Twins, though they're not related.)
karen -
15. Which album contains the single "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes," and what year was it released?
Paul -
16. Name another band Midge Ure has worked with.
maddog -
17. Midge produced a solo album by the singer of Thin Lizzy. Name him, and if you can, name the album!
maddog -
18. Complete the song title: "Cut And ____"
stingr22 - Run"]
19. How many Top 40 singles did they have in the UK?
Bobo -
20. Which band member resurrected Ultravox (in name only) in 1992, re-recording the song "Vienna" and releasing two albums? (Hint: Same answer as the second part of Question 14.)

I'll take a shot at the ones I think I know off-hand..
3. An exlamation mark (or exclamation point, if you will)
4. The fantastic "Vienna" was kept off the top spot by Joe Dolce's "Shaddap Yo Face"
8. Two of them were "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes" and "Vienna". Frantically trying to remember the others
19. I recall fourteen. (Although, he says, on further inspection, the answer might be sixteen..!)

Correct! Although I always thought it was "Extreme Voice" as in the name of their official website, but close enough! ;)

Hi AV
#9 I think it was Billy Currie - I have a recollection of seeing him in the Band Aid video for "Do They Know It's Christmas"
#16 Midge Ure was in Slik (arrrggghhh!) then the Rich Kids (with former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock) and was briefly a fully paid up member of Thin Lizzy.
#17 Phil Lynott - was the album called Black Pearl? (not sure)

Hi AV

Nope, sorry, it's not Billy. In fact, not being a part of Band Aid is just one of the things he's been whinging about on his website. :)
#16 Midge Ure was in Slik (arrrggghhh!) then the Rich Kids (with former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock) and was briefly a fully paid up member of Thin Lizzy.
Correct!
#17 Phil Lynott - was the album called Black Pearl? (not sure)
Yes it's Phil Lynott, however that's not the name of one of the albums. One of them does have a song called "Yellow Pearl" though!

7. I'll guess the band name was Dandelion, and the song was called "Ain't Being Bad". I'll be very surprised if I'm correct.

You know, I never considered Dandelion, but no that's not correct, sorry. As for the song, you're close! Perhaps I should have used "being bad" as part of the hint instead of "misbehaving!" (There you go...there's another hint!) :D

Nope. IndyGent guessed that as well, and it was wrong. Different cat! OK, here's another hint: Natalie Merchant has an album of the same name.
#14 Billie Currie, not sure which instrument - violin?
Correct! Except it's "Billy." ;)
#20 Billie Currie
Good job! :)
