| [I] A *real* music quiz [message #289754] |
Mi, 21 Juni 2006 23:47 |
|
I'm tired of these quizzes where I not only can't identify the
lyrics in the questions, but I also can't identify the singers
after the answers have been given. This is my revenge.
Following are the first lines from several works. Identify the
work, and the composer. For a bonus point, identify who sings
the lines:
1) Da-doo-da, Da-doo-da,
Wa-wa, wa-wa,
Da-doo-da, Da-doo-da, Da-doo-da,
Wa-wa, Do-da, O wa-do-wa, ...
[Hint: see previous quiz.]
2) Weia! Waga! Woge, du Welle!
walle zur Wiege! Wagalaweia!
Walala weiala weia!
[Hint: the alliteration gives a clue to the composer.]
3) Zu hilfe! Zu Hilfe! sonst bin ich verloren, ...
4) Piano, pianissimo,
senza parlar,
tutti con me
venite qua.
5) We sail the ocean blue,
And our saucy ship's a beauty;
We're sober men and true,
And attentive to our duty.
I would fail this quiz, too, but at least I've heard all the works.
Actually, #1 (with the hint), #3, and #5 should be fairly easy.

I guess I have heard them too playing the horn in a symphony orchestra
and loving classic music but I haev a terrible mind for remembering
texts, or even hearing them when it comes to operatic singing...

Yes.
Now that I think of it, the answer to #3 might be seen as an=20
indirect clue to #4, which, while not by Mozart, is related to=20
one of his works.

Me, too (except for the horn-playing bit). I generally don't=20
even listen to the words in popular music; it's usually just=20
sound to me. Makes it easier to enjoy songs in languages I don't=20
understand.

Close. Well, not really.
A hint. The first line in the previous quiz (in case you have
forgotten: "One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing")
appears just a few lines after the somewhat strange lines above.

Yes, yes, almost, and yes. It is sung by Fiorello, but the Count
is there, so that's close enough. I'm glad someone got this,
because I thought it was the hardest of the lot.

Exactly.

For #2, the water being sung about appears in the title, if that
is any help.

Whoever he is, he's in a lot of trouble, because a lot of
religions will be chasing him for being a heretic and an apostate.

I think you mean this is from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess.
Can't seem to nail down the exact melody, though.
Probably "Sporting Life" singing.

Sung by the Captian and his men I think.

Despite being way too young to know this, this is the first time I
recognise something. This is _The Universal Soldier_, probably by
Donovan. Or was it originally by Bob Dylan? Most songs are.
Some day I'll make a music quiz with songs I, and only I, can recognise.

Written by the *real* Buffy (Saint Marie) in about 1965. A hit for Donovan.
Unfortunately I am old enough to remember it well. We've probably got
the 45 somewhere.
It might be fun to do a music quiz based on the old music-hall songs the
my grandmother used to sing to me when I was small. "Bumpity, bumpity,
bumpity bump" for example.

Just the men. The captain enters a little later to sing "I am

I'm taking that as a challenge. Three songs that I listen
to regularly, but believe noone else will recognize:
1:
Daca vrei cu-adevarat
Daca timpul nu te poate opri
Daca sufletul iti este curat
Trei dorinte iti voi indeplini
2:
Meum nomen est vanum, fortuna deest
Futura mea nebulis atris insunt
(some people should recognize the original of this)
3:
Love was taught, Taught by death
Hate was sought, sought by life
Each is my favourite song by the group that performs
it.

I did that last time, but then decided it wasn't worth posting, so I
deleted it unsent.
Themes I used were (a) compass directions and (b) alcoholic drinks.
Both of which are quite common.

There are hundreds (Wikipedia says over 1000) songs in the
Carmina Burana. Orff barely scratched the surface.

almost but not quite entirely like Irish :-)
"'seb'fhearr" I don't recognise, it could be "ab fhearr" _ the best
but that makes it "the best sea that was in Ireland" and I neither recognise
it nor make sense
What is the song?

As none seems to have guessed any of these, and I'm going
away for the next two weeks, here are the answers:

Magica - Daca
Rumenian metal frequently compared to Nightwish, but
really rather different.

Which is, of course, Solitude by Black Sabbath.

Sigh - Requiem - Nostalgia
Japanese psychedelic metall. One of my all time favourite
groups.

Since no-one's said it: Bob Dylan, _With God on Our Side_. And yes, I
got it from the Latin. Who does the Latin version?

I can't believe I just did that. Let's pretend it was tongue-in-cheek, eh?

I don't speak Gaelic, so I copied the lyric from a website.
Means "We got the best yellow seaweed in Ireland."
It's "Dulaman" by Altan.
I was serious about it being my alltime favourite song.

Ah! that explains it. Perhaps the word "Dulaman" is on the previous line
in your version. Took me a while to find the lyrics for Altan's version
online, but I did, and it All Makes Sense Now.
They're spelled all wrong, mind you, but that's pretty normal.
It's a contraction of "Is e ab fhearr", you see.

Rocky, if you like Altan, then we agree about that.
I don't currently have any Altan-specific products in my collection,
although they're definitely on my "would consider buying" list. But
they crop up frequently on multi-artist compilations and so on - and
when they do, are usually pretty damn good, musically speaking.
Not familiar with this particular song.
Adrian.
