  • QotD, Nov. 21, 2008: The dogs of Paul

    Apparently it’s music week — most of the questions of the day this week have had a music theme. I credit (or blame) an upcoming karaoke night and the anticipation.

    TODAY’S QUESTION:

    Paul McCartney wrote two songs named after dogs that he owned, one with the Beatles and one with Wings. Which songs are they?

    YESTERDAY’S ANSWER:

  • Quiz: “Religious” Songs

    Round 5 at the Old Pequliar on Nov. 18, 2008
    Average score: 7.6/11 (15 teams)

    Tuesday Evening Revival Service

    Brothers and sisters! Tonight we’ve been mucking around with the devil. Yes, the devil. He lives in the details, and trivia is all about details. All about the devil. The devil in the details.

    But that’s gonna change. That’s gonna change right now. Because we’re going to listen to some religious music. Listen closely, brothers and sisters. Each and every one of these songs is has a religious term in its title.

    You need to tell me who’s singing, and the name of the song. The artist and the song title are worth a half! point! each!

    Can you give me an amen? Amen!

    Can you name this song? (Click the image for a closer look.)

    This is all the lyrics of a song, minus any mentions of the title, cloudified by Wordle. The bigger the word, the more the songwriter used it.

    UPDATE: Solved by Kza in the comments. Congrats!

    Can you name this song? (Click the image for a closer look.)

    This is a picture of all the lyrics to a song, minus any mentions of the title. (Cloudification courtesy of Wordle.) The size of a word in the cloud represents how frequently the word appears in the song.

    UPDATE: Steve C. solves it in the comments. Bravo.

  • Question of the Day: Nov. 12, 2008

    What better way to celebrate 11/12 than with a question about Sesame Street’s beloved “Pinball Number Count” videos?

    If you don’t remember them, the videos featured an animated pinball traveling through a deliriously complex pinball machine, illustrating the number of the day. The opening line went something like this: “One two three FOUR FIVE, six seven eight NINE TEN, eleven twelve.”


    Question: The group who performed the song had a number of hits during the ’70s and ’80s. Their last single to hit the Billboard Top 10 was featured on the popular soundtrack for what ’80s movie?

    I took the lyrics to a popular song, edited out any mentions of the title, and plugged the rest into Wordle. The size of a word in the cloud represents how frequently the word appears in the song.

    UPDATE: Solved in the comments by Bob. Magnifique.
