Quiz Answers (Saturday, 19 November)

Apparently, there weren't any 'takers' for the latest rock quiz (no, it wasn't that hard ... was it??), so let's run down the answers ...

THE BEATLES (a two-fer): Unless you've lived under a rock since 1963, you know that John, Paul, George and Ringo comprised the most popular rock quartet in the universe. Over the years, many acts have covered their hits -- but there was one who had the honour of being the very first to do so. Who was he -- and what was the song?
The song was "Misery", and the singer was a solo artist named Kenny Lynch. He recorded it in early 1963.

A quote about The Beatles, circa 1963: "They don't know music from their backsides." Who said it, and why??
The same guy!  You see, he also considered himself a songwriter and offered to help John and Paul write their hit, "From Me To You". When the song didn't seem to be going anywhere, he walked away, declaring "Well, that's it. I am not going to write any more of that bloody rubbish with those idiots. They don't know music from their backsides."

LET'S THROW IN A RECENT ONE: Who is Eamon Jonathan Doyle and how did he make his mark in rock music and world record history?
He was a 20 year old American R&B singer who went just by his first name and, on 28 April 2004, released a song called "F--k It (I Don't Want You Back)". The song became the first one with "that word" in its title to reach the Top 20 here, peaking at #16 (it reached #1 in the UK and Australia). The song was also listed in the Guinness Book Of World Records for "the most expletives in a #1 song", with 33.

AND A LITTLE COUNTRY: Who sang the hit I Fall To Pieces? (uh-huh ... that was easy, but ...) Who would've recorded it, had it not been "too 'country'" for her?? Brenda Lee.

BACK TO THE BEATLES (sorta) If you have an early copy of Sir Paul McCartney's album, Red Rose Speedway, there's a chance that you'll find a little something "extra" on the LP jacket -- something that's not on later pressings. Any idea as to what that is??
The original back album cover contained a Braille message to Stevie Wonder that said "We love you, baby."

Whilst Paul and John Lennon were rehearsing new material at his (Paul's) home in the early years, they didn't hear the postman come by to deliver the mail. However, this postman had already played a vital role in their history. What was it?
The postman was originally a policeman -- in fact, the one who, whilst off-duty in his car, accidentally struck and killed John's mother, Julia!
