    Lale

		 -  so many trivia, so little time -

	For example, did you know that 	Beatles' Because was
	Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, chords played backwards ? 

	Or, did you know that Roy Buchanan burned Ron's Hammond B3 ?
	Hey, Ron, that story of yours would make a great trivia,
	wouldn't it ? 

	Or, did you know that the arm band "O.P.D." Paul Mc Cartney is 
	wearing on the cover of Sergeant Pepper, stood for Ontario Police
	Department (or within the "Paul is dead hysteria", it read
	Officially Pronounced Dead) ?

	Or, did you know that Beatles recorded "She Loves You" in German
	(Sie Liebt Dich, Yeah Yeah Yeah) while in Germany ?

	And then, there are these ones, *even* *I* don't know. Like,
	in end of the movie "Postcards From The Edge", the band behind
	Meryl Streep, is it really Blue Rodeo ?

	Or, did Nathalie Wood really sing Fleetwood Mac's "I'm not
	a child anymore", in the movie in which she played a
	handicapped musician ?

	No, there are no Jimi Hendrix questions. I have been reading the
	Jimi Hendrix note for a while now, you guys know everything about
	him. I bet you even know his shoe size too. What is his shoe size
	anyway ? Just curious. 

	Tolerate the diversity or the lack thereof, depending on your
	perspective.

	Play along, make educated guesses. Some of the wrong answers
	are so PAINFULLY OBVIOUS, it is easy to pick the right one.

	It was a lot of fun last time, hope we'll all enjoy it this
	time too. Don't post answers here, send mail to 

		OTOOA::ESKICIOGLU or
		KAOSWS::ESKICIOGLU.

	And, yes, there is a prize. 

	Please don't jam all your answers "a,a,c,d,b,b ..." all in one
	line. Remember a human being will score your answers. I don't
	have an optic reader handy here. 

	It works this way: You mail me your answers, when I get a chance
	(might be a couple of hours, might be a couple of days, depending
	on my schedule) I score your answers, send you a mail back, tell
	you how you did, together with the correct answers. Early players
	who are entrusted with the answers, please don't share them with
	the ones who haven't played yet. 

	You are free to make all the research you want, as if I could
	control that otherwise ;-). The only research you are not allowed
	to do is to break into my account. Don't even think about it ;-)

	As far as deadline is concerned, how'bout two weeks ? Too long ?
	Too short ?

	Acknowledgement: Special thanks to Kilgore Trout for staying up
	all night and keeping me company. And if you can correctly identify
	who Kilgore Trout is, you get a bonus point.

	Warning: Duplication in part or as a whole without 
	permission is more than welcome.

    re .9
    
    The Beatles recorded the German versions of She Loves You and I Want to
    Hold Your Hand while in France, not while in Germany.  Now there's a
    REAL piece of trivia.

      ref. .11
    
    You know what, you are absolutely right. Those two songs were recorded
    in Paris, in 1964.
    
    That would indeed make a good trivia. Who would have thought.
    
    You are wrong, however, about Atlanta Braves. The champs will be
    Toronto Blue Jays ;-)
    
    Not that I can tell hockey from baseball ;-) 
    
    	Lale
    

 . . . and the Ontario Police initials are OPP -- Ontario Provincial Police.

    I still think the best explanation is Officially Pronounced Dead.  It
    sure would explain a hell of a lot.

    re -.1
    
    Like his last album?
    
    		:-) - Jimbo

    
    ref. .13
    
    The initials for Ontario Police are OPP but the initials on Paul's
    armband are OPD which stood for Ontario Police Department, something
    he bought as a souvenir when he was visiting Ontario.
    
    You have a hard headed woman here ;-)
    
    Lale
    

Hard-headed trivia is the best kind.

    
    Reminder: You've got a couple of more days to submit your entries.
    I am planning on posting the answers Wednesday. Rush.
    
    So far, Henrik from Oslo is leading with 21.50 points (out of 34).
    Willie Ewing is following close behind. Willie send me your mail stop,
    I have a poster for you.
    
    Alan, I still did not get your answers.
    
    I am told that this quiz was not nearly as easy as the last one.
    If you think this is tough, try explaining your 7 year old why
    Mick Jagger can't get no satisfaction ! Here, at least you have
    multiple choice ;-)
    
    (actually, I lived the worst "explaining" scenario this morning
    when I was going thru some hundreds of unread all-in-1 messages.
    I made the mistake of mumbling "Oh, Digital is closing the Mill down,
    what a shame", then I had to explain what Mill was and why Digital was
    closing it and why that was a shame. Now, that was tough !)
    
    The trivia is fun though, I even got an invitation for a drink. It
    is a date Jack !

    Neil Sedaka wrote "Oh Carole" for __________ ?
    
    

    
>    Neil Sedaka wrote "Oh Carole" for __________ ?
    
     Carole King?

     Neal    

	...his babysitter?

    as i recall, 'oh carol' was written for carole king.
    i think the carole king babysitter story had to do
    with carole king writing locomotion for her babysitter,
    little eva.
    
    willie

    
    Yes, it was written for Carole King.
    
    Did she really write locomotion for her babysitter ? I was shocked
    to find out that locomotion was a Carole King song. It is so
    atypical of her.
    
    Lale
    

    Not meant as a rebuttal, but Carole King the songwriter made an
    absolute FORTUNE penning R&B/soul hits during the 60's before starting
    out on her solo career in the early 70's (Tapestry, et seq)... and
    making another fortune.
    
    Many of the hits we associate with the Motown sound are Carole's tunes.
    Talented lady.

>    Did she really write locomotion for her babysitter ? I was shocked
>    to find out that locomotion was a Carole King song. It is so
>    atypical of her.

  I don't know if Carole King wrote it expressly with the babysitter in
  mind, but she did write (or co-write) it, and the babysitter was tapped to
  sing on the record.

  Goffin-King were the original models for Lennon-McCartney; according to
  both Lennon & McCartney, that's who they initially tried to emulate.
  Don't recall a Motown association, but they did pen many many hits.  Jay

    no hard proof but i heard carole king tell an interviewer
    that years ago.  he asked her, in disbelief if she
    really wrote 'locomotion' and she told a story about
    finding the babysitter dancing when they returned and
    wrote the song.
    
    

    "Will you still love me tomorrow" was another one of hers.
    
    -jesse

    she also wrote 'giant step' for taj mahal from
    the album of the same name.

    If I interviewed Carole King, I, too, would have asked if she
    *really* wrote locomotion. 
    
    "Will you still love me tomorrow" is a typical Carole King song,
    locomotion is not.
    
    Even "smack water Jack" sounds very Carole Kingish.
    
    Lale

	We have a winner from Oslo.

	Henrik, congradulations. I'd like to send you a CD of a Canadian
	performer/band. Do you know of any Canadian musicians (other than
	of course Leonard Cohen and Guess Who) ? If you do not have a
	favourite Canadian artist (and I doubt you do, since most Canadian
	musicians are not well known even at the south of the border),
	then I can pick one for you.
	Some names I can think of right now :	Tragically Hip
						Blue Rodeo
						Crash Test Dummies
						Barenaked Ladies
						Sue Medley
						Sass Jordan

    Reference is to a line in a taj song that goes,
    'gonna move up to the country, paint my mailbox blue"

	Most players found the incorrect answer "Gone With The Wind" (Q19)
	quite amusing. 

	All players, without exception, answered Edison-"Mary had a little
	lamb" question (Q16) correctly. I did not know this was something
	so widely known ;-) 

	All players, except Henrik, answered Rod Stewart's soccer team
	question (Q4) incorrectly. Haven't you ever listened to "You're in
	my heart" closely ? It says, very clearly, "Celtic United" in
	there. 

		You're in my heart, you're in my soul 	
		You're my lover, you're my best friend 	
		You're in my soul 

	Isn't it obvious that he is talking about his soccer team ? And
	you thought he was addressing a girl ;-?

    My poor french (I guess it should have been promene rather than

    Anna McGarrigle. I stumbled on to their stuff while living in Belgium
    oddly enough, and I like it quite a bit.
    
    The St. Cathrina (I'm sure I spelled it incorrectly) stuff comes from
    one of their early tunes. I believe it refers to a particular street
    in perhaps Quebec, with a subway underneath.
    
    Anyway I'd trade the Roche sisters for the McGarrigle sisters anyday.

    Talking about Rod Stewart and this being the trivia topic :
    
    Does anyone know what the deal is with his Young Turks song ?
    Does that title relate to the story in the song in any way ?
    
    Lale
    A Young Turk
    

    Don't know the song but "young turk" is an expression referring to
    someone who is aggressive and up-and-coming. I think it is actually
    a historical reference to a group of related princes or kings during
    the middle ages who came out of Turkey and conquered much of that area
    of the world. They were particularly young as I recall.

    and Samantha Stevens?
    
    

    re: young turks
    
    At the risk of turning this into a History trivia topic, I think the
    young turks expression either refers to the Ottoman empire of perhaps,
    Sullyman (sp?). Does that ring a bell? I'll have to dig into the
    history book tonight.

    Hey Lale, maybe I've misunderstood, but are you taking these lines too
    literally?  When Rod says "you're Celtic... United... your the best team..." 
    it's like a metaphor, ya know?

    	 Heck baby yer the best durned team I ever seen"

    /rick_(no_rod_stewart)

    Jim Guldenstern ;
    
    Thanks for explaining the Young Turk term. I didn't know that there was
    such an expression. Rod's Young Turks song makes sense now. Title
    matches the story. The song is talking about two young and courageous
    lovers running away from home. 
    
    When I was 17, I had a t-shirt that said "Meet The Young Turk". I was
    wearing it walking on the beaches of North Carolina. I always thought
    it referred to my age and my origin.
    
    For some obscure reason, I happen to be very knowledgeable on Turkish
    history ;-) It was Ottomon Empery up until 1923. Then Turkish Republic
    was founded. The Sultans would become Emperors at very young ages, 
    sometimes as young as 11-12. I think the one you are thinking of is
    Suleyman the Magnificient who brought the empery to its richest days.

    I must admit I don't even know the answer to the Led Zep question

    If you listen closely to "Since I've been loving you", there's
    a creaking noise throughout the beginning of the song.
    I suspect it comes from the tape recorder or the drummer's seat.
    After all, they did use some unconventional miking for Led Zep III.
    Any ideas?

    I hate to break this news to you but there is no creaking
    (whatever that means) noise anywhere on that song. I am listening
    to it, once again, right now, as I type, it is beautiful and there
    is absolutely nothing wrong with it. It must be only on your CD.

"Yesterday" (Lennon-McCartney)

    I'll bet the most-sung song (at least in the US) has got to be "Happy
    Birthday".  I've forgotten the authors name.

    re: .-1
    
    I agree.  I've also read that "Happy Birthday" was the most popular
    on at least two different occasions.

    
    "Yesterday" is the song that has received the most airplay.
    
    I am sure "happy birthday" is the most sung song but it is not played
    on the radio, all over the world, 26 times each hour, I don't think.
    
    Lale

    Nonsense, Yesterday is too long to be played 26 times an hour, it's at
    least a 3 minute song...and further more what's the name of the station
    that keeps playing it???

    Re: .64
    
    Huh?
    
    I think what was meant was that on any given day, within a given hour,
    at least 26 radio stations will play "Yesterday" within that hour, not
    that one station is playing it 26 times in a row (wotta concept!). 
    
    							Paul Harvey

    No, no, I have this.  It's a new cable channel.  The "Yesterday"

    Store-24 Video Surveillance Camera channel on my system.

Run For Your Life


	"You'd better run for you life if you can Little Girl,
	 Hide your head in the sand, Little Girl,
	 If I catch you with another man, 
	 that's the end, Little Girl"


Nothing like a little sexual harassment.

    re .79, I always thought he just meant he was going to break up with
    her.  I didn't think he meant he was going to kill her.  Did he?
    
    How about the Jimi Hendrix song, "Hey, Joe, where you goin with that
    gun in your hand?  Goin to shoot my ol lady, caught her messin round
    with another man."   That's none too pleasant either.
    
    Lorna
    

    "Run For Your Life" doesn't seem all that Politically Incorrect,
    compared to, for example, the Stones' "Under My Thumb".
    
    Dave

    
    "Run for your life" was the answer, but you are right Dave, I was
    wondering about some of the Stones' songs as well. In particular
    "Let's spend the night together" (I satisfy all your needs, now you
    satisfy mine) is more offending than "Catch you with another man
    that's the end" which is kind of pleasing when it comes from
    someone you love.
    
    Lale

    RE: .80
    
    The phrases "run for your life" and "I'd rather see you dead, little
    girl, than to see you with another man" imply more than breaking up.
    The question of course remains whether it was meant literally or
    figuratively.
    
    RE: Lale
    
    "Banned" in what sense?   Who banned it?   Or do you just mean that
    some oldies stations won't play it?

    Pretty soon we will be having record, ooops cd, burnings much
    like when R&R was becoming popular a few decades ago. Actually

    Dave,
    
    Yes, I meant that they choose not to play it. Not only the oldies
    stations, but from what I read, most rock stations, including the

    to comply with PC.

  Since the first line of the Beatles "Run For Your Life" comes from

  to condone the result, I just wondered about it.   - Jay

Yoko had something to say about it). He claimed that it was
just a quick knock off that he wrote as filler for whatever
album was being recorded.

tim

    
    Yes, he never liked it. According to the book I have, he had written it
    not because he had something to say, but simply because another song
    was needed.
    
    LENNON: "This was just a sort of throwaway song of mine that I never
    thought much of, but it was always a favorite of George's. ... It has
    a line from an old Presley song: 'I'd rather see you dead, little girl,
    than to be with another man' is a line from an old blues song that
    Presley did once."

    re .95, sorta funny it was always a favorite of George's!  Better watch
    out for that guy!   :-)

    re .96, wonder if Patti knew he liked that song.  She may be lucky to
    still be around!  :-)

  Just to state what everybody's probably thinking -- no doubt Harrison
  liked it for its Harrison-type guitar riff, simple but fun to play.  The
  song's partially-redeeming feature...  Fun to speculate about a dark side
  to him though.   - Jay

    
    1. When did Beatles go to Hamburg and what did Paul brought his younger
       brother from Germany ?
       (btw, buy the "Live in Hamburg" album only if you want to complete
        your collection, don't buy it if you want to listen to it, it is
        the "unlistenable". I have it and the recording is terrible, too
    	much noise.)

    U.S.S.R.

    Oh no!  Now I don't get to try to figure out how to pronounce your last
    name (an ongoing quest).  %^)
    
    And I think I just remembered the noter almost killed by Clapton; wasn't
    it the guy who was reminiscing about going to a Cream concert and
    during the drum solo in "Toad", EC sat down on stage for a smoke,
    leaned up against a PA column and almost tipped it over on Our Hero? 
    Now who was that...?
    
    Dave

I almost got killed by Gregg Allman.  He was sitting in a chair off the lobby
of the Clarion hotel in Nashua (before a Holman Stadium show), staring at an
oil painting ... he was telling my wife and I about how he paints, and I 
mentioned that I had just been to a Jerry Garcia art exhibit (it seemed relevant
at the time.  He said (mumbled actually) "you said the dirty word," then "Garcia
does water colors, *I* do oil painting!"  He looked a little p.o.'d and I'm glad
he was in a highly sedated state, because he's a big guy.

Whoops, did I digress?

    Fred Deady, regarding last names (or first names for that matter), I
    don't think you get half as many jokes as I do. There is a guy here
    who thinks Lollypop is a hilarious joke even though I told him that
    "Lale" sounded nothing like "Lolly".
    
    Although I am getting threatening mail like "honey, it was definitely
    Billy Joel", I will have to insist that correct answer is Elton John,
    I will go further by declaring that Elton John was actually the very
    first rock star who performed in USSR.
    
    According to rumor, after Elton John and Billy Joel, U2 has also
    performed this song over there. Can anybody confirm this ?
    
    We still don't have the right answer for the gift Paul brought to his

    I used to be WAAF's contract photographer, and got usually got "full
    access" stage passes to any show they were sponsoring.
    
    ...so I arrive, get introduced to AG who greets me with basically,
    "Hello, I hate photographers...", shoot a couple frames with the
    'AAF jocks, and then go stake out my spot behind the curtains, stage
    right.
    
    Next thing I know, I hear the general manager ushering the press out.
    "Ha! Those dweebs. They can't possibly mean me." As AG is walking out
    to the stage, he sees me in the curtains and throws a gasket. "Get that
    god damn photographer outta here!!!" and I sense he's not about to go
    on stage until I'm ejected, so I start to inch into the background.
    
    "GET HIM OUT!!!!" Yep, I realize he's serious as a couple of
    rent-a-goons grab me by the vivitar and toss me squarely on my 135.
    
    I spent the rest of the night in front of the stage much to his dismay.
    
    Ironically, the best picture I got that night shows ol' Artie looking 
    almost angelic.

    Edd, this doesn't surprise me at all. He has a serious mean/violent

"what a very special time for me"  ya right, I was 6 !

  Aside on 4 Seasons:
  
  I recently picked up the 4 Seasons "Anthology" on Rhino.  I'm very
  impressed -- I never knew a group member did much of the writing.
  
  The peak had to be the 2-sided single, Rag Doll/ Silence is Golden.  Both
  co-written by their resident songwriter.
  
  Great collection, 26 songs -- includes the oh-what-a-night song BTW.

    i think that "oh what a night" was a remake. didn't the isley brothers

 Interesting - I'll try to check this out at home...  - Jay

    There was a song called "Oh What A Night" by a group called the Dells
    (early 70's?). Maybe you're thinking of that one. Different song.

    maybe that's what I saw. i saw "oh what a night" on the countertop

  Bingo. "Oh What a Night" is the Dells...
  
  The 4 Seasons song, "December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)", was written and
  produced by one-time 4-Season (their resident songwriter), Bob Gaudio.
  Came out in '75, I think it said in the Rhino Anthology, along with
  another he wrote, "Who Loves You".    FWIW...  - Jay

    thanks for the clarification. i never did hear the other "oh what a
    night" (not 4-seasons).
    
    ann
    

    The Dells first released "Oh What A Night" in 1956 and a remake in
    1969. The former is a doo wop classic.
