And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Belly’s “Gepetto” had an official video release in 2013, long after its album debut in 1993. This release came from 4AD, marking a unique gap of over sixteen years.
2. Status Quo’s “Don’t Stop” on their cover album is preceded by the track “When You Walk in the Room.” It sets the stage for their signature boogie rock rendition.
3. Midnight Oil’s “Truganini” addresses drought and the impact of European settlement on indigenous people. It ties history and environmental awareness together.
4. In Springsteen’s “Local Hero,” a shop window featuring his photo prompts reflection, driven by a salesgirl’s comment. It’s a nod to unexpected celebrity awareness.
5. Brian Kennedy’s rendition of “Put the Message in the Box” reached No. 37 on the UK charts. Despite not breaking the Top 20, it gained significant traction in Ireland.
6. The Waterboys’ “The Whole of the Moon” won an Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically in 1992, recognizing its enduring musical craftsmanship.
7. Tom Morello’s guitar solo in “Bulls on Parade” is notable for its vinyl scratch effect. It exemplifies his ingenuity and the band’s signature aggressive style.
8. On James’s “Ring the Bells” 12-inch single, the Skunk Weed Skank Mix appears as a B-side. This version complements the edgy yet melodic essence of the track.
9. The House of Love’s “The Beatles and the Stones” explores nostalgia for musical icons. It reverberates with appreciation for the past’s musical legends.
10. Reef’s “Good Feeling” entered the music scene via an independent label later supported by Sony. This strategy provided the single a launching pad before its major release.
11. “From Out of Nowhere” was Faith No More’s first single from *The Real Thing*, released post-album. It was a pivotal moment featuring singer Mike Patton’s debut.
12. U2’s “With or Without You” saw The Edge’s Infinite Guitar contribution lead to its iconic sound. This element helped complete the track’s transformation into a hit.
