November 2024 Name That Tune HINT!

Have you ever noticed how certain songs sound alike? Take for instance “Changes in Latitude” by Jimmy Buffett and “Divers Do It Deeper” by David Allan Coe. Both were released around the same time in 1977, and both were written by their respective musicians. Yet both men claim the other stole their sound! It may be a mystery lost to time, so we might as well enjoy both! Click the link below to listen to David Allan Coe’s “Divers Do It Deeper”

Sometimes pretty cool stuff comes from making a mistake! Joe Jonas of DNCE said the title of “Cake by the Ocean” came from a silly mistake while in the studio. According to Jonas, their Swedish producers confused the well known cocktail “S*x on the Beach” with “Cake by the Ocean”! The band thought it was so funny they named a song after it!

HINTS for November 2024 Trivia!

We are entering into November and the cool air is upon us. Did you know the word "November" comes from the Latin word “novem”, which means "nine". This is because November was the ninth month in the Roman calendar and only had 29 days. November is known for its two birthstones Topaz & Citrine, and its flowers Chrysanthemum & Peony, all being associated with love, optimism, wealth, and prosperity. November is home to Thanksgiving, Veteran's Day, and Black Friday. It also includes Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. Diwali is India's biggest and most important holiday of the year. Indians place lights outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects from spiritual darkness. So many cool things about November!

HINTS for October 2024 TRIVIA

Wedding season in Florida is upon us! The weather is getting cooler, and people are ready to celebrate love! Did you know some believe the word Honeymoon comes from the 5th-century belief that mead was an aphrodisiac. It was an old custom for the new bride and groom to drink the fermented honey drink the entire first month of their marriage! The well known tradition of the bride wearing a white dress only became common in the US within the last 200 years! Queen Victoria was a popular trendsetter in the 1800s, so when she wore a white dress during her wedding (just like Princess Philippa of England did in 1406) the US loved it and made it into a classic! Another well known wedding tradition comes from Victorian England as a way of bringing luck to the new couple: “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue” . But did you know there was also “A sixpence in her shoe”? It has largely been forgotten from the saying since the sixpence was last minted in 1967. So get your dancing shoes ready! We’ve got some weddings to attend!

In 2023 rapper Paul Russell released a preview to his new song on TikTok and it immediately went viral. The song “Lil Boo Thang” is a cute upbeat jam that takes its backbeat and roots from the 70s funk legends. (For the older generation out there, the term “lil boo thang” refers to a relationship where you are “talking and hanging out” but not quite girlfriend and boyfriend) Click the link below to listen to Paul Russell’s “Lil Boo Thang”

This month is FLASH BACK month! We are re-capping songs from the last Two Years that Pinky & the Brain Trivia have been hosting! Do you remember this tune?!

A 90’s wedding reception staple, “Gonna Make You Sweat” ripped through the airwaves in 1990 with a funky rhythmic backbone, upbeat jams, and topped with the iconic EVERYBODY DANCE NOW! But shortly after its release by the musical group C&C Music Factory, there was a big problem. C&C Music Factory had used the voice of Martha Wash without permission and decided to have another woman lip-sync and dance. According to the lawsuit, C&C Music Factory used an edited compilation of vocal parts Wash recorded earlier that year for an unrelated demo tape and never gave her credit on the album. By the mid-90s the lawsuit was over and C&C Music Factory asked Wash to join the group as a full-time vocalist. Click the link below to listen to “Gonna Make You Sweat” by C&C Music Factory.

August 2024 Trivia Hints!
This month is FLASH BACK month! We are re-capping questions and songs from the last Two Years that Pinky & the Brain Trivia have been hosting! So let’s take a moment and learn something new about our ability to remember!

Discovered by psychologists in the 1950s, it is said that the average brain can only hold about seven items at once in its short term memory, but if you compile ideas into a single “folder” you are able to remember more at once. For instance, the Orlando area codes are made up of three numbers, but our memories have compiled them into one single idea: 407. 321. 689. Thus, taking up less mental space! It is also said to help prevent dementia, certain brain games like crossword puzzles, sudoku, and trivia are spectacular at boosting the brain’s health! In people with ADHD, their memory may not be as strong as someone without. People with ADHD often have difficulty remembering instructions in order to finish a task and may have a “disorganized” information storing system - which can make it difficult to easily find information already stored in the brain! Good brain health vitamins like Omega 3 and Ginkgo have the ability to naturally help us get our memories back in shape! But always consult your doctor first if you plan on taking any vitamins. It’s amazing what that little mushy blob in our skulls can do!

July 2024 Name That Tune Hint no.1

In 1982 the band Musical Youth released their first album featuring the hit “Pass the Dutchie”. The song, originally about poverty and passing a cooking pot among friends, quickly became a favorite tune in the ‘smoking community’ causing the word “dutchie” to become a common term for ‘the devils lettuce’. Now a fun tune heard in movies such as Scooby Doo, The Wedding Singer, and Stranger Things, “Pass the Dutchie” has become a cult-classic favorite.
