The Non-Musical Music Hour Bonus

SECTION ONE: "BILLBOARD" STUFF

Sometimes different songs share the same title. For example, both Tone Loc and the Troggs hit it big with tunes entitled "Wild Thing," but the two songs are quite different. On four occasions (or, eight), such double-title cousins have EACH hit #1 (Tone only made it to #2). Name the four titles of the eight songs, and the eight artists.
"Best Of My Love"-- Eagles, Emotions; "My Love"-- Petula Clark, Paul McCartney & Wings; "Venus"-- Frankie Avalon, The Shocking Blue or Bananarama; "Fame"-- David Bowie, Irene Cara
(NOTE: The Beach Boys' and Marky Mark's "Good Vibrations" and George Michael's and Timmy -T-'s "One More Try" are two more examples that came after 1989.)
There's a Broadway musical that spawned four chart hits, and as it happens, those four songs charted at #1, #2, #3, and #4, respectively. Name the show and its four hit tunes.
"Hair," featuring: "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In," by the 5th Dimension (#1); "Hair," by the Cowsills (#2); "Good Morning Starshine," by Oliver (#3); "Easy To Be Hard," by Three Dog Night (#4)
Five songs have hit #1 with three-letter titles. Name them.
"Why," by Frankie Avalon; "War," by Edwin Starr; "ABC," by the Jackson 5, "Ben," by Michael Jackson, and "Bad," also by Michael Jackson. Oddly, the King of Pop was responsible for three of the five.
The Shocking Blue hit #1 with their song "Venus." What was unique about the specific manner in which they sang the lyrics?
The Dutch quartet spoke no English, and so sung the words phonetically without regard for their meaning.
Michael Jackson had a whole lot of hits off his "Thriller" album. Actually, he had so many that we'd like you to name the only two songs on the LP that DIDN'T go Top Ten.
"Baby Be Mine" (no jokes, please) and "The Lady in My Life" (I SAID, no jokes!)
What was the first song from a James Bond movie to hit #1?
"A View To A Kill," by Duran Duran.
Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album is at 800 weeks and counting, the all-time top LP in terms of weeks logged on the sales charts. What artist got bumped off, when Pink Floyd passed by to the #1 slot?
The previous most-weeks LP was "Johnny Mathis' Greatest Hits."

SECTION TWO: THE BEATLES

Which Beatles song features a rousing background chorus of "Frere Jacques"?
"Paperback Writer."
Which arcade video game features the (almost certainly stolen) theme of "Lady Madonna"?
Bomb Jack.
On which two Beatles songs does the terrifying voice of Yoko Ono appear?
"The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill," and "Revolution #9."
Not counting parenthetical clauses (such as "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)"), we want you to list songs in which the Beatles do not sing the title, word for word, as written, during the course of the song. One such example would be "A Day In The Life." Please name ten others.
Most of 'em are: Tomorrow Never Knows; Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey; Love You To; Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite; Within You, Without You; Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise); Hello Goodbye; Flying The Inner Light; Wild Honey Pie; The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill; Revolution 1; Revolution 9; and The Ballad of John and Yoko.
What were the original working titles for the following projects:
1. Help! (the movie)
  "Eight Arms To Hold You."
2. Yesterday (the song)
  "Scrambled Eggs."
3. Revolver (the album)
  "Abracadabra."
For extra credit, write the first TWO lines of the pre-"Yesterday" ditty.
"Scrambled eggs, Oh my baby, how I love your legs."

SECTION THREE: THE FABULOUS RUTLES

How long did it take to record the Rutles' first album? How about their second?
The Rutles' first album was recorded in 20 minutes; the second took even longer.
Accortding to lesser celebrity Mick Jagger, what was it that broke up the Rutles?
Just women, getting in the way. "Cherchez la femme" and all that.

SECTION FOUR: OTHER STUFF

  Close. Very, very close.
What two popular Top-20 songs were both inspired by the Queensboro Bridge linking Manhattan with Queens?
Harpers Bizarre's "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)," (DUH!) and the Bee Gees' "Jive Talkin'," which took its rhythm from the distinctive chooka-chooka sound pattern their car's wheels made as it crossed the bridge. (Sadly, they have since repaved the bridge and it doesn't make that sound anymore.)
What is the only obscene song (with real swearwords!) ever to be nominated for a Best Song Oscar?
"Feed Me" (from "Little Shop of Horrors").
Name the eight bands or acts to appear at both Woodstock AND Monterey Pop.
Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, and--uh-- five others. We must've used the original answer key for rolling papers. I don't know who was who, because they were all naked.
George Harrison was found guilty, Mick Jagger innocent. Lots of rock stars have been accused of plagiarizing one artist or another. When John Fogerty released "The Old Man Down The Road," he was hauled into court and accused of plagiarizing which famous rocker?
Himself! (Specifically, the CCR song "Run Through The Jungle," written and sung by Fogerty. He and his former manager, Saul Zaantz, have had a feud for more than 20 years, and this lawsuit was but one skirmish.)
