Enjoy this weeks quiz, have a guess and see how many u get right, put your score as comment.
1. One of Cake’s first hit singles, this song tells the story of a man who keeps “driving and striving, and hugging the turns, and thinking of someone for whom he still burns. He’s going…”?
“The Distance” was Cake’s leading single from the album “Fashion Nugget.”
2. This song was featured in an iPod commercial, and serves as the theme song for the TV show “Chuck.” What is the song’s title?
Short Skirt/Long Jacket
It only reached number 7 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, despite featuring lyrics like “she uses a machete to cut through red tape,” and “she’s trading her MG for a white Chrysler Le Baron.” How can you resist?
3. Off the 1998 album “Prolonging the Magic,” this catchy tune begins with a dial tone. “You tell me that you love me so, you tell me that you care, but when I need you baby, baby, you’re…”
Never There
It also reached number 1 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart. Finally, a little recognition!
4. This cover of a famous Gloria Gaynor disco classic didn’t get much radio play, but it’s quite a cult hit among Cake fans. Can you guess the title?
I Will Survive
5. Cake’s music has been used in soundtracks for many contemporary comedies such as “Shallow Hal” and “Orange County” (maybe Jack Black’s a fan?). This single off their fifth studio album, 2004’s “Pressure Chief,” was in the more recent movie “I Love You Man.”
Wheels
“Pressure Chief” was one of Cake’s less popular albums, but features a great cover of the song “Guitar Man,” originally by the group Bread.
