MUSIC Time. We are going to start off the hop with three music questions. Bear in mind these clips could play consecutively or our of order, so make sure to match your answer to the question number:1. https://soundcloud.com/yellowbelly-trivia/odd-one-out-may-12 There are clips from four songs. One of these clips definitely does not belong with the other three. Name the BAND singing the odd one out.
2. https://soundcloud.com/yellowbelly-trivia/common-bond-may-12 For this clip there are five songs. Each contains the name of a what (one-word answer please)?
3. https://soundcloud.com/yellowbelly-trivia/common-bond-2-may-12 There are not many songs that share this distinction. What one word links these six songs together?

| 4. Can you name the film they appeared in together? You may need to squint or imagine. |
5. It has been said that the world’s four most recognizable ones are:
A. The ones belonging to Jorge, Karol, and many other men (and only men)
B. The six each owned by a guy soon headed to Florida, and a nice guy that everyone says is Mean
C. The one that binds them
D. The answer we are looking for: about 1,000 of these specific ones go into circulation each year, mostly to people in their 20s. There's a decent chance at least one of you doing this quiz owns one, and most of you know people who do, and they are given out not too far from Newfoundland.
Name Thing D, as it is commonly known.

| 6. These four pictures suggest a supporting group, who back up a Doctor. The supporting group is called "The __________ __________"? |
7. Consider the following: Kraftwerk, Beeswing, Don Shula, Archbishop, Thingamajig, Spın̈al Tap, Streel. Each one has in common a type of _________.
8. There's a TV show that dropped the last two words from its title after season 2, and made minor changes to the remaining word structure. The two words start with the same letter. Name the two-word locale deleted from the TV show title.
9. OK, maybe Question 8 is too generic. Perhaps Question 9 will help. On the show mentioned in 8, consider two of its stars: the first name, middle name, and last name of these two people, the two lead Guys, start with the same letter in real life (so if you listed the 2 actors' six names consecutively, the six initials are all the same!) One of these actors has become ridiculously famous, and the other faded into obscurity. Name the famous one.
10. OK, OK... staying on the topic of TV show name changes: this show changed its name slightly because the producers fired the lead actress (after season 2), and changed it AGAIN after season 3, yet it ran for 3 more seasons. It may be a challenge to name anything that the remaining cast did... except (a) one has played two different characters on the same soap opera, and (b) one is now one of the biggest names in TV as an actor, director, and producer. Name the series as it was known in the first 2 seasons.

| 11. What one word connects every athlete in this picture? |
12. There is a small Texas town named this word. It is also the name of the ‘official animal’ of a town in upstate New York. It's also the name of several films and songs; and is the nickname of several people including an American Military hero (after whom the Texas town was named), who shares a name with a famous Scotsman. The name ends in a body part, and according to a recent commercial, the answer could actually be Darryl.

| 13. Look VERY VERY (VERY) closely: something's odd here. Above are six of the most celebrated "examples" of what? Seriously, look closely. |
14. There is a very well-known plural word which refers to an ethnic group of people (technically, men) from a number of countries who speak the same language. You can create this word by putting a one-syllable chemical element inside of a one-syllable country.
15. There is a word that is a place an animal might live. If you put a hyphen right in the middle, it becomes a place a human might live. Name either word.
16. There is an island with a population of roughly 500,000. Its capital city and surroundings are home to about 40% of the island’s population. Its Premier is from the Liberal Party. The residents have a nickname (spelled _ _ _ _ IES) used primarily by Mainlanders in a somewhat derogatory manner. Their number of COVID-19 cases is in the 200s. They speak English. There is an animal known around the world that bears the island’s name. They have an orchestra called the [insert island name] Symphony Orchestra. It is not the island of Newfoundland. Name the island.
17. There is a region that is bordered by three states/territories/provinces. It has a long coastline (with lots of coastal islands), mountains, and rivers and a population around 5 million. It has a strong indigenous community and a university named for it, and a very close connection to a former monarch. While most of its residents’ ancestry is European, there are many whose heritage is Asian. Its flower is an orchid, and it has a coastal town that’s name is actually a number. It is not the province of British Columbia. Name the region.

Name the character (surname).

24. Many names have male and female matches (Paul and Paula, Ken and Kendra, etc.) There is a female name, whose ethnicity is not connected to Newfoundland, that is incredibly popular here. There are virtually zero of the male equivalents in the province, though very popular elsewhere. Folklorists say it was inspired by a song, and possibly the name of a ship. Give the female name.
25. This very famous author is usually known by: a first initial, a given name, and a surname.

Name the author (surname).
