March 16, 2021, YellowBelly A to Z Trivia
Welcome to YellowBelly Season 2, Episode 5. We'd like to thank our myriad of sponsors: YellowBelly Brew Pub, umm, yah that's it. Y to the B. Thanks YellowBelly. Hopefully live trivia will kick in again in a few weeks. Until then, on with the show...
Email all of the answers you have to YellowBellyTrivia@gmail.com by 8:30pm NST on March 16, 2021. Hoping for a reasonableness of straightforwardness to this week's trivia, but who can say?
Music: Two songs hosted as usual on Sound Cloud. Careful of the order they play in. The second song may play automatically.
1. There are 7 songs in this clip and they have all had something changed by us to reflect what?

2. These four together - the artists or songs - in this order, suggest what location that is also the name of a song?
3. In one particular sketch, the above character was flattened (and presumably mailed) after repeatedly wanting cheaper passage to this city.
4. Although this river has a greater average flow than a more well-known river, when they converge, it is considered a tributary of the other. It is a river with a short name (from Celtic), flows through three countries, and has a major city that gets its name from it. Name the river.
5. A mail-in question! Name the "pun"try, err ... country. Although it is a relatively new country, its flag points to a checkered past. Reports of this country's preference in pets is spotty at best. It's second largest city is just bananas! If you want to spell this country, its shape is a good start. Name the country.
6. Following the logic in the pyramid above, who is the sole occupant of Level 8? (surname) [Note: a new entrant could appear in level 8 this year.]
7. I am a famous person who never visited Canada, yet there are many things named for me. I am in every province in the country as a city, town, county, fishing village, park, hospital, settlement, avenue, and a district that is a National Historic Site. What is my 8-letter name?
8. This performance group are not actual siblings, but named for completely unrelated noted siblings. They started as a pair and have expanded over nearly 50 years to up to 8 active members. What is the last name that they are known by?
9. This common thing has many varieties: like the one that has the same name as a noted mountain, a couple that come right out and say they are yummy, one that could be an elderly relative, one that has the same name as a cocktail, and one that is a fancy party. What are they? (And how do you like this question?)
11. For the cast of Friends, it’s a neighbour in another building. For Howard on The Big Bang Theory, it’s his mom. For Kramer in Seinfeld, it’s a long-time friend. For Selina on Veep, it’s the president. For Charlie’s Angels, it’s their boss. So, for Niles Crane on Frasier, it’s whom? (give the person’s first name).
12. in the photo above, his character is an "Austrian interpretive dancer", performing her song. What song?
15. Are they a couple? No. Are they twinsies? No. In fact, they are not related at all, though they have the same last name, and their first names are almost identical. One acts and the other is an athlete. When asked about whether they are related, the man said “I'm done talking about that”. What is their last name?
16. Looking for a word that connects them.
17. These people don’t have much in common, but there’s one rare thing that they all share. 10 points if you can figure out the most populous city in Africa that also fits this category (actually, just one point).
18. These countries have something specific in common. There is only one missing. Name it!
19. This name originates as an important character in an American classic novel. It reappears as the name of a submarine in a children’s novel, and is also the name of a dog owned by one of the two main characters of a renowned sci-fi TV show (btw, the sci-fi character’s favourite novel is the novel referred to above). It is a really weird looking word, with two syllables that are almost identical. Give the character's name.
20. This word is a neologism that is derived from a company name. It is estimated that the company has 71% market share in its primary service and a 22% market share in a secondary stream. Despite some COVID challenges, the twelve year old multi-billion dollar company has operations in 70+ countries and over 90 million active customers monthly, and 20,000+ employees. Give the word based on the brand.
21. This person was the first to win an Olympic Gold Medal for the country in a specific event, then appeared on a magazine’s cover leading into the next Olympics titled "{athlete's full name} & 99 More Athletes to Watch." Despite being top-ranked going into those Games and the next ones, this athlete did not even finish a single race. Who is the athlete (last name)?
22. This athlete was a league MVP, Rookie of the Year, an all-star over 10 times in a row, has twice been inducted into the Hall of Fame, led his team to its only championship, has a college award named for him, and was the first player in league history to achieve a specific well-known statistical distinction for the whole season - which only one other athlete has done since. Name the athlete.
23. This artist started as a successful business person for more than a decade, but made a career change due to a national financial crisis. He is the subject of at least two operas; an inspiration for novels, a stage play and films (at least one that won an Oscar). Curiously, in two of the films about his life (decades apart) he is played by a noted father and a son. Name him.
24. This first name that sounds like it could be a sci-fi character or alien planet, but is actually from the bible. It is the name of a former Canadian band with a self-titled album. It is also a song title by at least three other musical acts; and is also the name of communities in the US and a valley in Asia. Most notably, it was the name of a much-loved television character from a family drama: the character was normally called the shortened version of the name or by his place in the family. The actor won an Emmy for the portrayal. Give the seven-letter name.
25. Can you name the actor (last name) who has been turned green?
26. Can you guess what we have in common?
