Did you know... Music trivia?


When requesting a certain song this morning, I remembered a bit of trivia about it and put that in the dedication. So, when I requested my 2nd song, I put a bit of trivia in that dedication as well. I know there are plenty of people here who have a plethera of music trivia (*cough*LS*cough*), so I thought it might be fun to include a bit of trivia in our requests today (or any day really).

Anyone game?

Oh man!  I've just gotten my computer up after it giving me trouble all day!  What did I miss?  What did I miss?

I don't think anyone else is playing. Mz submitted 2: Suffragette City was the B-side to David Bowie's Starman single, and INXS original name was The Farriss Brothers.

Cool.  I'm more than happy to play, but it doesn't look like we've got many people tuned in at this time, huh?

I'd play but I don't have any trivia. And I'm on the busy side today.

Regarding the song currently playing:  Warrant's beautiful "I Saw Red":


Did you know: This was written from experience?  Unfortunately, this really happened to Jani Lane.

Dedication

This song was originally titled, "Gypsies and White Trash."

Dedicated by
   MzHartz

It doesn't sound nearly as cool with that title-  I'm glad it was changed!

Anyone else try singing along with the original title? I agree, it doesn't have the same ring.

Music Trivia - Did you know?:
This song was written for Rosanna Arquette, who guitarist Steve Lukather was dating at the time?

Also, the girl in this video, dancing around in the red dress later married Richard Marx, and sang lead in Animotion?

Dedication

Did ya know that some of the background vocals on this were done by her former cast mates from Kids Incorporated?

Dedicated by
   Woo Hoo

I did not know that!  But I do appreciate her throwing her ex-castmates a bone.

You have to wonder if that's on purpose!

This song played in an episode of Buffy. Buffy & Angelus were possessed by some ghosts in the school.
