MYSTERY ROUND

Disco

It was the grooviest era of music. And one we should all forget after tonight. I'll ask a disco related question, you give the answer.

For example, What band that featured 3 falsetto-singing brothers was responsible for making John Travolta dance?

Answer: The Bee Gees

1. The first and last Grammy for best disco album was awarded in 1980 to what alliteratively named singer?
2. On July 12, 1979, a DJ held a Disco Demolition Night in between a MLB double header - inviting people to bring their disco albums to be destroyed. Fervor for the event greatly exceeded expectations - 10,000 records were destroyed, and around 50,000 rioters participated in the event, staying on the field, and forcing what midwest home team to forfeit the second game?
3. What group that had sudden success with a studio band hastily rounded out the lineup when the producers put an ad in a theatre trade paper which read: 'Macho Types Wanted: Must Dance And Have A Moustache?'
4. What novelty song by a Memphis area DJ became a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 for one week in October 1976?
5. What terrible trainwreck of a song was a number two on the Billboard Hot 100 for Irish actor and singer Richard Harris in 1968, a 1969 Grammy-winning version by country music singer Waylon Jennings and a number one Billboard Hot 100 disco arrangement by Donna Summer in 1978?
6. The Bee Gees Saturday Night Fever movie soundtrack ushered in and epitomized the disco era. It is the 2nd best selling soundtrack album of all time - second only to what soundtrack that came out in 1992?

GENIUS ROUND

Hard questions from all over

2 points each

1. What name/term was used by the Spanish in the 16th century to describe a mythical tribal chief who, as an initiation rite, covered himself with gold dust and submerged in a lake. The legends surrounding this name changed over time, as it went from being a man, to a city, to a kingdom, and then finally to an empire - sought by many including Sir Walter Raleigh.
2. China's flag is a field of red with yellow stars in the top left corner (very similar to the flag of the Soviet union, except it has a hammer and sickle in the corner). How many stars?
3. On his way to a third FIFA World Cup triumph (1958, 1962, 1970), Pele stopped a ref that was about to start a quarterfinal game to tie his shoes. This was a brilliant marketing move (that earned Pele $120k then) by which German shoemaker that is usually in the top 10 lists of shoe sales?
4. According to opm.gov (Office Personnel Mgmt), what 6 Federal holidays fall on a Monday?
5. In the small town of Fall River, Massachusetts, on the morning of August 4, 1892, between 9 and 11 AM, Lizzie Borden struck her stepmum Abby 18 and her pops Andrew 11 times with an ax. That's 29 whacks (if my math's correct). But according to the popular folk rhyme memorializing the event, how many more whacks did Lizzie dole out? (yes what is the difference between the poem and reality - MATH!!!)
