These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-03-14,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days. For further information see
my 2011-09-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI11, QFTCIMM)".
I did not write either of these rounds.
* Game 8, Round 7 - Cities in Song
In this round we're going to look at US cities celebrated in song.
Using the handout map http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/0807/song.png
as a reference, we will give you a city letter and three or four
singers or bands that have each recorded different songs with
forms of its name in the title.
For questions #1-7, all we want from you is the name of the city.
1. City A -- the Animals; Scott McKenzie; Tony Bennett.
2. City C -- the Doors; Randy Newman; Wang Chung; Cheech Marin.
3. City D -- Elvis Presley; Sheryl Crow; Katy Perry.
4. City H -- Roger Miller; Wilbert Harrison; the Beatles; Lee Dixon.
5. City I -- Johnny Rivers; Marc Cohn; Jerry Lee Lewis.
6. City L -- Johnny Horton; Arlo Guthrie; the Tragically Hip.
7. City U -- Bruce Springsteen; Neil Young; Elton John.
Questions #8-10 all relate to City Y. You must give either the
name of the city or a specific part of it, *whichever is mentioned
in the titles*.
8. The Ad Libs; Sting; Frank Sinatra.
9. Beastie Boys; Jay-Z; Neil Diamond.
10. The Rolling Stones; Ben E. King; U2.
The remaining cities have each also been celebrated in song at least
once. (More or less, anyway -- W and X actually both represent the
same place name.) Name them if you like for fun, but for no points.
11. City B.
12. City E.
13. City F.
14. City G.
15. City J.
16. City K.
17. City M.
18. City N.
19. City O.
20. City P.
21. City Q.
22. City R.
23. City S.
24. City T.
25. City V.
26. City W or X.
27. City Z.
* Game 8, Round 8 - Album Covers
And now, another music round, which is also another arts and
literature round. The album cover as an art form reached its peak
in the heyday of LPs and may now be in terminal decline in the era
of downloads. But back in 1991, Rolling Stone magazine selected
the 100 greatest covers of all time. On our handout
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/0808/album.jpg
are 20 of them. On each question, name the singer or band, as
applicable, whose album is shown. We have, of course, removed
some of the lettering.
1. Cover A.
2. Cover C.
3. Cover F.
4. Cover G.
5. Cover I.
6. Cover J.
7. Cover K.
8. Cover N.
9. Cover P.
10. Cover R.
Now identify the singer or band for the remaining covers if you
like for fun, but for no points.
11. Cover B.
12. Cover D.
13. Cover E.
14. Cover H.
15. Cover L.
16. Cover M.
17. Cover O.
18. Cover Q.
19. Cover S.
20. Cover T.
