And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:

1. Hangar 18's conspiracy vibes stem from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, not Roswell but near. A Mecca for secrecy buffs, it inspired Megadeth’s riff-heavy outing.

2. Feeder's track "Tangerine" indulges in the grunge and alternative metal sound scapes, columns supporting the sonic architecture of their debut album.

3. Hanson's "Weird" climbed to number 4 in Finland, proving global pop music could send Finnish charts into baffling overdrive.

4. "One" sends listeners into the dark corners of World War I through Dalton Trumbo’s "Johnny Got His Gun," merging narrative with Metallica’s metal prowess.

5. Electric guitars, heavily distorting Harry Chapin's original, lead Ugly Kid Joe's cover of "Cats In The Cradle," translating folk tragedy into metal melancholy.

6. "Locked Out" crooned its way onto the film Reality Bites’ soundtrack, seducing 90s earworms with Crowded House's catchy rhythms.

7. Alison Moyet reimagined "Whispering Your Name" for dancefloors, deeming acoustic introductions relics of the past under record label persuasion.

8. Before settling as "Mary Jane's Last Dance," the track wore the moniker "Indiana Girl," a quaint precursor to another Petty classic.

9. "Wonderman" by Right Said Fred rallied for the rapid Sonic the Hedgehog 3, embedding pop's hook-laden catchiness into gaming lore.

10. "Ladykillers" takes a humorous jab at Anthony Kiedis, his deeds encased in Lush's commentary, preserving rock star morality in lyrics.

11. The Vox Continental Organ, its riff secured "96 Tears" a spot in rock's hall of earworm fame, unmistakable in its melodious simplicity.

12. Dominating "Soldier," T.I. and Lil Wayne add southern-laced verses, enlisting musical badassery alongside Destiny's Child's trio.
