The Tragically Hip told Bill Barilko's story in the song Fifty Mission Cap.

Martian, I'm going to interject here and say go ahead and ask a new question.

oh shit! sorry guys... I forgot the process. yes Martian you are right.

Dat's otay Leto, we're all human, I think?

Hey, whoops. I forgot too, apparently.

Right. How about a holiday-themed question?

What famous singer, inextricably linked with the Christmas season in the minds of many, has been dogged posthumously of reports of child abuse ever since his death in 1977?

Would that be Bing Crosby?

That's the guy. It's an easy one, I know, but I reckon that'll do to get things moving again.

Your question, my dear.

Well, this one's probably easy, too...

Which Bob Dylan song, titled after an article of clothing, has been speculated (among others) to have been written about Edie Sedgwick.

*extra bit* the song is good for stripping, too :lol:

Might it be Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat off of Blond on Blond?

That it might!

And you're new here, too. Awesome. :)

Welcome. It's your question.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Here's my first question.

What artist was forced to bring a guitar to the witness stand to prove the difference between two songs that he/she had written?

I'll go with George Harrison.

Not quite, but you're in the right era.

Keith Richards, maybe?

Sorry, not yet.

Clapton.

Try the other side of the ocean.

I think it was John Fogerty, when his Ex-CCR mates tried to sue him for The Old Man Down the Road being the same as Run Through the Jungle.

You are 100% correct, and might I add that is one very comprehensive answer. You even got the songs correct.

aw man, why didn't I think of that? I knew that...damn

Actually, a little clarification, Fogarty was sued by his former manager Saul Zaentz. He was also sued because Fogarty wrote a song called Vanz can't dance which was actually about Zaentz and all his corrupt dealings with CCR.
The chorus in the song was "Vanz can't dance but he'll steal your money, watch him or he'll rob you blind" John changed the Z to a V so that Zaentz couldn't prove he was singing about him.

Wow, I thought it was his bandmates. Good to know!

Question time:

This band, originally called Chad Allen and The Reflections, was the first Canadian band to have a number 1 hit in the US. They later had it's members break off to form a new band called Brave Belt, until that band also changed it's name.

What were the final (and well known) names of those 2 bands?

The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive

Correct!

You're up.

What seminal 80's album contains the real moans of a woman, mid-coitus, in its closing track?

duran duran - hungry like a wolf? or is that the song...

That's the song. I think the album was Rio. But that's not it, unless you consider Simon le Bon to be a girl.

Wild guess: Blondie "Heart of Glass"

Keep trying.

Appetite For Destruction- Guns n Roses

You are correct. Apparently Axl Rose had sex with Steven Adler's (drummer at the time) girlfriend so he could record her moans for "Rocket Queen". The next question is yours.

Nice question, Axl's such a douchebag

Axl's the biggest sell-out known to man.

Next question's in the punk category. An easy one if you know the scene:
Keith Morris is currently the lead singer for The Circle Jerks, but what other well known punk band did he co-found and sing for before The Circle Jerks.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I know this one!

Black Flag

You are correct. That was fast. Perhaps too easy?

I dunno. I just happened to be familiar with it. :)

Which well-known jazz vocalist co-wrote a 1938 hit based on the nursery rhyme, A-Tisket, a-Tasket?

Ella Fitzgerald

Gee. You know everything. :p

You are correct! Your question.

didn't he have his own girl to record???

It's nice to have a place where my knowledge of obscure music trivia is appreciated. Here's my next question. What album, an indie landmark released in February of 1998, was inspired by Anne Frank?
