Ok so the magic is a little not your everyday info, but Prince Charles is a member of the Circle... ah well. I'll try and do better next time. :0)

We haven’t been musical for a while, so here’s a broad range of music questions... This either has something for everyone, or conversely, nothing...

1. Which of Gilbert & Sullivan’s light operas is “Three Little Maids From School” from?

2. What song is Weird Al Yankovic parodying when he sings:

“There's something weird in the fridge today
I don't know what it is
Food I can't recognize
My roommate won't throw a thing away
I guess it's probably his
It looks like it's alive...”

3. Who sang “With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
its own beat in my head
While we're talking...”

4. What’s the real name of the blind Guitarist in the Patrick Swayze movie, Roadhouse.

5. In the Abba song Fernando, what does the singer ask Fernando, if he can hear...

a) Canons
b) Drums
c) Clapping
d) Kittens

6. What kind of instrument is an ‘ocarina’?

7. Probably the best known aria in Puccini’s ‘Turandot’ is Nessun Dorma. What does Nessun Dorma translate into English as?

8. Ok I DON’T have a Shakira fixation, but I have always found this line odd... In the song ‘Whenever, Wherever’, why does Shakira think she is “lucky that [her] breasts are small and humble...”

9. In the musical The Wiz (you know the version of the Wizard of Oz with Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow) who played ‘The Wiz’?

10. What British pop group did Robbie Williams used to be a part of?

Bonus: Name any three of the “Highwaymen”.
(It’s Country and Western, sorry biggie :( )

1. ?
2. Aerosmith's Living on the Edge
3. John Francis Bongiovi
4. Oh! Oh, oh, oh!! Ummmmm...... Jeff Healy?
5. Can you hear the drums Fernando?
6. It's an ancient clay flute-like instrument, that I actually know how to play, and have an entire set of. (Bass, Tenor, Alto, Soprano, and Sweet Potato)
7. Noone sleeps, or noone's sleeping.
8. So that I don't confuse them with mountains.
9. I'm guessing that since you're speaking in the singular, you're looking for the motion picture musical and not the broadway one. And I think that was Richard Pryor.
10. ?
Bonus: I've got all four. Willie, Waylon, Cash and Kris.
