These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-10-31,
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 to the newsgroup in a single followup,
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.
All questions were written by members of the Misplaced Modifiers
and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information
see my 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Game 6, Round 9 - Entertainment - Songs from Movies
The film, the performer, the writer, the title -- we'll give you
two of those and ask for a third.
1. Song is "Moon River", written by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer.
Name the film.
2. "Que Sera, Sera" is the song, written by Livingston and Evans.
For which film?
3. Who is the writer of "Take a Look at Me Now", from "Against
All Odds"?
4. Who sang "What a Feeling", the hit song from "Flashdance"?
5. "The Breakfast Club"'s theme "Don't You Forget about Me" was
performed by which band?
6. Stevie Wonder wrote and performed "I Just Called to Say I Love
You" for which movie?
7. Who performed "The Best That You Can Do" for "Arthur"?
8. "There's Got to be a Morning After" for the survivors of "The
Poseidon Adventure" (1972). Name either the performer in the
movie or the singer whose cover became a hit the following year.
9. Noel Harrison sang the theme to the 1968 original of "The Thomas
Crown Affair". Name the song.
10. Coolio was the performer of "Gangsta's Paradise", from which
movie?
** Game 6, Round 10 - Challenge Round
* A. Foreign Subway Stations
We give the names of four subway (Metro, Underground, etc.)
stations; you say what city they're all in.
A1. Presidente Vargas, Carioca, São Cristóvão, Cantagalo.
A2. Causeway Bay, Prince Edward, Disneyland Resort, Tung Chung.
* B. Political Pooches
B1. The so-called Checkers speech was given in 1952. Amidst
accusations of improprieties relating to electoral funding,
the owner of Checkers proclaimed on TV that, whatever
happened, he was *keeping* the black cocker spaniel that
had become a part of his family. This charming tale led
to an outpouring of support and possibly saved the owner's
political career. Who was the owner?
B2. According to the diaries of their owner, Irish terriers
Pat, Pat II, and Pat III had an impact on Canadian politics
for almost 25 years. Who did they belong to?
* C. Songs about Masturbation
C1. Who got people singing about their "ding-a-lings" in his
only #1 hit, in 1972?
C2. In 1984, she sang, "They say I better stop or I'll go blind"
and "They say I better get a chaperone, because I can't
stop messin' with the danger zone". This earned her #2 on
the charts -- and a spot on Parental Advisory's Filthy 15.
Who sang it?
* D. Shelley Winters Must Die
Poor Shelley Winters -- she always gets bumped off by some lothario
on his way to a bigger prize.
D1. In what movie does preacher man Robert Mitchum charm and
then murder Shelley Winters to get to her children and a
hidden $10,000 stash?
D2. In which movie does James Mason marry Shelley Winters,
drive her to despair and death, and run off with her
daughter?
* E. Triple Crowns
E1. Name one of the races in the UK's Triple Crown.
E2. The Triple Tiara is an American "Triple Crown" series that
features what kind of horse?
* F. The Pubs We've Played In
F1. What *is* a Jersey giant?
F2. What *is* a spotted dick?
