Answers to UK Music Quiz
I’m slowly working through syllabi and other beginning-of-the-semester documents. It’s cold and I don’t want to leave my apartment. Here’s the answers to the UK music quiz I posted at the beginning of the year. Be sure to watch the Amy Winehouse videos.
1. I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola
2. Are you taking over or are you taking orders?
3. I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
4. No future for you!
5. Hand me your Stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear men down like Roger Moore
6. We've got no future, we've got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland station
7. Wandering, I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
8. All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money
9. Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
10. Now don't look at us
All that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust

11. Well sometimes I go out by myself, and I look across the water.
And I think of all the things, what you're doing, and in my head I paint a picture.

Amy never showed up for the video recording of this song, so Mark Ronson found a few “Winettes” to lip synch her part.

12. I can’t believe the news today
Oh, I can’t close my eyes and make it go away
13. And when you wake up it's a new mornin'
The sun is shinin' it's a new morning
You're goin'
You're goin' home.
14. Is this the m.p.l.a
Or is this the u.d.a
Or is this the i.r.a
I thought it was the u.k or just
Another country
Another council tenancy
15. But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you.
Let the music play on down the line tonight.
16. Hong Kong is up for grabs
London is full of Arabs
We could be in Palestine
Overrun by a Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne

17. Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all
18. Too much competition too many other places
But not too many horns can make that sound
Way on down south way on down south London town

19. I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled

20. Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
