Here's another good trivia question from KJ's weekly 7-question quiz:

4.  What's the only single in the history of the Billboard Top Ten to share its name with a book of the Bible?  ("Theme from Exodus" is NOT a
 biblical book.)

Well it'd have to be "Daniel" I guess.  But there's an album named after 3 books of  the bible -- name that.

Lyle Lovett: Joshua Judges Ruth

DING DING DING!

Here's another one from KJ:

What unusual distinction is shared by these songs?  "The Battle of New Orleans" by Johnny Horton, "Can It Be All So Simple" by Wu-Tang, "Fade Away and Radiate" by Blondie, "Hotel California" by the Eagles, "Let There Be Rock" by AC/DC, "Love Potion No. 9" by the Clovers, "Mustang Sally" by Wilson Pickett, and "Night Moves" by Bob Seger.

I can only give this the Cliff Clavin response: They're all songs that have never been in my kitchen.  (My computer, and thus my iTunes, is in the kitchen.)

Is this a TANC response, or did you in fact hear Ginger play a clip of that Jeopardy episode today?

TANC.

And Mike - nice catch!  I doubt I would ever have come up with that one without more examples.

Here are two more from KJ, one from last week & one from this week:

What legendary label-mate wrote Mary Wells's "My Guy" and the Temptations' "My Girl"?

What rock act is a duo made up two men, one named Russell, the other surnamed Russell?

well the first is Smokey Robinson, everybody knows that one.  the second I'll have to think about.

TANC: the oldies show on KPOO last nite was doing a & b sides, and played one of my fave Smokey lyrics, "The Love I Saw in you Was Just a Mirage" -- the flip side of which was "Come Spy With Me", the theme from a long-forgotten '60s B-movie Bond knockoff.

What rock act is a duo made up two men, one named Russell, the other surnamed Russell?

"Rock" is misleading.  The answer is Air Supply: Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock.  If they had married, the singer could be Russell Russell!

[mshray]

Ha!  Good answer, and thanks for the link.  Hadn't seen that hysterical clip before.

indeed, very funny -- and more than a touch reminiscent of Flight of the Conchords
