• Q1) In what city was MLK born?
• Q2) What denomination was the church that MLK was a minister in?
• Q3) In the Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln referred to an event "Four score and seven years ago". In his "I have a dream" speech, MLK used a similar phrase. How many score ago and what event?
• Q4) Where did MLK deliver this speech?
• Q5) How many times did MLK say the word "dream" in this speech? (Take the point if you're within two on either side and two points if you get it exactly.)
• Q6) In what city was MLK murdered and by whom?

• A1) "Whip It" - Devo. "Working in a Coal Mine" received some airplay but just missed cracking the Top 40.
• A2) "Believe It or Not" - Joey Scarbury. Mike Post wrote this catchy theme song from The Greatest American Hero television show (1981-83).
• A3) "Pac-Man Fever" - Buckner & Garcia. This song was the title track of a 1982 album that also honored Frogger, Centipede, Donkey Kong, Asteroids, Defender, Mouse Trap, and Berzerk.
• A4) "Tainted Love" - Soft Cell. Released in the U.S. in 1982, this single set a record with 43 weeks in the Billboard Hot 100.
• A5) "Nobody" - Sylvia. Silvia Kirby's country crossover hit cleverly struck back against the "other woman".
• A6) "Come On Eileen" - Dexy's Midnight Runners. Marie Fahey, sister of Siobhan Fahey, posed as Eileen in the video and on the record jacket.
• A7) "Der Kommissar" - After the Fire. The German words that begin the song are actually "2, 3, 4", not "1, 2, 3".
• A8) "She Blinded Me With Science" - Thomas Dolby. The Englishman was born to a classical Greek archaelogy professor in Cairo, Egypt.
• A9) "Puttin' on the Ritz" - Taco. Taco Ockerse remade Irving Berlin's classic in 1982, reaching #4 on the charts early the next year.
• A10) "Far From Over" - Frank Stallone. Frank composed this song for his more famous brother Sylvester's 1983 movie "Staying Alive".
• A11) "99 Luftballons" - Nena. The 1983 German version actually climbed higher up the charts (#2) than the 1984 English rendition, "99 Red Balloons".
• A12) "They Don't Know" - Tracey Ullman. The actress's brief singing career peaked with this single. She convinced Paul McCartney to make a video cameo because she was working on his Give My Regards to Broad Street at the time.

To make things easier, these lyrics come from the beginnings of the songs, the songs are by one-hit wonders, and the chart dates are from 1980 to 1984 in chronological order. (Disclaimer: leave this page right now if you don't want any of these tunes stuck in your head for the rest of the day). Scoring: one point for each correct song title and one point for each correct artist.
