Week 8 Answers

-
1. Explosion. Each song suggests explosion: TNT, Boom Boom Pow, Dynamite, Cherry Bomb, Champagne Supernova
2. Yeah Yeah Yeahs: They all have double words (Duran Duran, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Goo Goo Dolls, Mr. Mister, Ting Tings), but The Yeah Yeah yeahs took it to triple strength
3. Apostrophe (O’Connor, Sweet Child o’ Mine (G’N’R), Can’t Feel my Face, T’Pau, O’Siem, Des’ree, Don’t Stop Believin’)
4. OBGYN. How weird. It is an acronym for Obstetrics and Gynecology. But not OG, or ObGy. It’s O-B-G-Y-N (but, like the B doesn’t stand for anything). Why is that?
5. Gary. Larrys, Jerrys, Barrys, Carys, Harrys, Perrys are all on the outs too. Terry is hanging in there.   
6. Victor/Victoria
7. Jediism. How did this happen? An elaborate prank? A mind trick?
8. Fleur-de-lys (Lily also seems acceptable)
9. Dublin. May be a RECORD. Guinness Record. Anyone? OK Chris wrote that.
10. Brigus. In The Heat of the Night, Rocky, Unforgiven, Green Book, Braveheart and Shakespeare in Love. I, R, U, G, B, S jumbles to Brigus.
11. Thomas. C. Thomas Howell was hopefully a tipoff. We will also accept Middle (for Middle Name)
12. Chernobyl. 1985 population was almost 50000!
13. Kubasonics. Wicked local band with a cult following 
14. Hyacinth. Tough one. Most of the references here were tricky. 
15. Lazenby (George). Lazenby. George Lazenby. Played Bond that one time. 
16. Spider Man. Yep, in another universe, Spider man is a villain. 
17. Ramses II
18. Predator Such a cool piece of trivia. Also of note, Van Damme was originally cast as the Predator, but he wouldn’t stop doing fancy kicks, so they fired him. 
19. Maracas. I have Maracas from Caracas (etc.). Tuba and Juba are also correct. Sorry about the duplication. 
20. Wolfram. Tungsten’s symbol is W for Wolf-ram. And some people just call it wolfram. 
21. Underoos. “Underoos are fun to wear!” Also iron man calls Spider-Man underoos in Captain America: Civil War
22. Quinine: We go from HawKING to McQUEEN to BoJACK to RotTEN to the chemical formula/diagram for QuiNINE. 
23. Zipper: There was a time when almost every zipper had the YKK. Which stands for (say it with me) Yoshida Kōgyō Kabushikigaisha 
24. X-Rated. Dirty dogs.
25. Navratilova (Martina) 
26. Index. Fingers man. Tom Thumb, Ring, Pinky Tuscadero, The Middle.

Welcome to the YellowBelly Tuesday Trivia Blog. For the duration of downtime during the COVID Quarantine, we are moving the quiz online.  The format is different. Here is how it works.  Each Tuesday, we will post 26 questions. The answer to each question begins with a letter from A through Z, and no letter is used more than once. So if the answer is The Beatles , there will be no more correct answers that begin with B. If the answer is a person, we are looking for the surname .  The quiz will start at 7pm , and you will have until 8:30pm to email your answers to YellowBellyTrivia@gmail.com . Feel free to work individually or as part of a team. We have tried to make the answers hard to Google, but we cannot stop you from doing that.  We will post the names of the top three on the St. John's Trivia Facebook page, and the top team will win a $25 gift prize courtesy of YellowBelly, to be redeemed when all this stuff settles down. Plus each week we will have s...

January 18, 2022: YellowBelly A to Z Trivia

The YellowBelly A to Z Trivia Quiz got picked up for another week, for Season 3, Episode 2 . With 30 teams last week, we feel we can keep this going until Dr. Fitz tells us to give it up. Each answer begins with a different letter of the alphabet. So, once a letter is gone, there's no turning back. Unless you made a mistake. Then you should turn back. Email your answers to YellowBellyTrivia@gmail.com by 8:30pm NDT on January 18, 2022. We had a few tips last week, so thanks for that. Tip jar remains...OPEN! Feel free to e-transfer to the same email above if you see fit. Now, on with the show. Let's start off with three music montages hosted on Soundcloud - songs may play out of order, so pay attention to that: 1. Music 1 The six songs in this montage share a very simple common bond . Name it. 2. Music 2 There are six clips in this montage. The name of the song is played in many of them, so that's not the connection - we are looking for a two-word quirk they all shar...
