YellowBelly A to Z for June 16, 2020

Hey kids! (in my best Krusty the Klown voice). 

Welcome to June 16 YB Trivia. 

Standard rules apply - send your answers to YellowBellyTrivia@gmail.com by 8:30pm on June 16th and you could win some prizes, courtesy of your friends and casual acquaintances at YellowBelly Brew Pub. 

Let's start off with three music questions. The songs may play out of order on Soundcloud, so make sure you don't submit them out of order!

1. https://soundcloud.com/yellowbelly-trivia/name-the-actor-june-16  Take the first four songs, and subtract the last two. Name the actor (surname) who was the star? 
2. https://soundcloud.com/yellowbelly-trivia/common-bond-june-16  All six of the songs or artists in this clip are ________ (7 letters).
3. https://soundcloud.com/yellowbelly-trivia/new-song-june-16  If you alternate song/artist/song/artist for these four clips, what new song results?

4. Internationally, this well-known television character goes by different names depending on the country. They include: Shadi, Epi, Yennik, Anis and Ari.

5. There is something specific (two words) that they all have in common.

6. This performer’s net worth is in the 9 figures. His sporty partner’s net worth is about half of that, but his performer father has a net worth that is almost 6 times his (with roughly half of that in real estate holdings, and shares in an airport).

7. This brand, known primarily for one product, had simple beginnings when a surfer created a trademark. It was slow going, but three different incidents saw significant surges in sales: 
(a) US Olympic Team was seen wearing the product
(b) An endorsement from Oprah
(c) An advertising campaign, featuring football's biggest star
The arc went from a few hundred dollars in sales in its first year to a billion dollars in annual sales and the main product (the plural of the company name) became a household name.

8. In the above Venn Diagram, what goes in the middle?  

9. This band could have been called Phoenix as it was born out of the demise of another popular band. For the first year, the band had only one member who wrote all the songs on the first album, and sang and played every instrument on all but one track. Eventually new band members were recruited and the band went on to win more than 10 Grammys.

10. This is a one-word name of three films (one that received Oscar nominations and two forgettable foreign language films), a first name, a one-season TV series, the title of poems by two different very well-known authors (and if you remove a body part from one of the author's surname, you get the other author's surname), and a nickname for both a weapon and an African animal. 

11. This great king was the son of a great king and his grandfather (on his mother's side) was also a great king. He ruled for approximately 20 years before he was assassinated by the head of his royal guard. A depiction of him features prominently in two successful films with numerical titles.

12. What connects us? 

13. His most famous work is not for sale, as it hangs in a gallery that houses much of its nation's most famous artworks. It has been estimated that if this piece were to go up for auction, it would break the record for top-selling piece of art. The artist and his lesser known artist brother were both prolific, but had different styles. Name either the artist’s last name or the name of the artwork.

14. This fast food restaurant chain with locations around the world started as a coffee shop under a different name that had one different letter than the current brand. (Zoinks!, it is not Rubway).

15. On most standard world maps we see, this region appears to be larger than Brazil, when in actuality, Brazil is 4 times the size. Name the place.

16. This 13-letter word is a military term, the meaning of which depends on the country and service. It is used amongst pirates (title held by one of literature's most famous pirate), the scouting movement, the British Secret Service (with a shortened name). The term derives from the title of a German royal official. The role has been used globally by the militaries of different countries including: USA, Canada, Israel, France, Portugal, UK, Russia and Switzerland. The role exists in both the army and the navy, but with a completely different function. Name the 13-letter term.

17.  This word has a few common uses. The word itself suggests you look straight up. It was a well-known company with a jaggy logo, bought by another well-known company with a face logo. More obscure examples include an aircraft manufacturer, a bank, a film, a comic, a book, a magazine, a fictional currency, a computer program and a football club. Give the word.

18. Name the famous character who has this style of running named for them.

19. Write-in question this week:

21. Who is the odd one out here?

22. A lot of people confuse the meaning of this iconic line from literature. She is not wondering where he’s at, she’s ticked as to why he has to be part of dat crowd. It is based on many people’s misunderstanding of the meaning of what word? 

23. You will want to determine the countries first, and then figure out which one is off by a little bit. 

24. Looking for an 8-letter word that unites us.

25. Tim Horton’s is everywhere. In a well-known comedy film, the writer and star decided to create a similar place in homage to this hockey player. The player had a scene that was cut, but he does appear in the background signing autographs. Name the hockey legend.

26. He has set the official 100m world record more times than any man in history, if you get down to thousandths of seconds, technically making him the World’s Fastest Human on several occasions, but is nowhere near as well-known as his close friend. Name the runner.
