This role was a role also played by late comedian George Carlin.

6. Which of these movies is based on the preservation and re-presentation of Classical music?
B) Fantasia

Fantasia was a very ambitious project. Walt intended for the movie to be re-released yearly with a special speaker system, with new music each time with old, and sequences as well. This never happened, although a nod to the idea of re-releasing the film with new music and sequences occured in 2000, with Fantasia being rereleased as Fantasia 2000. Fantasia had two sound options, mono, and "Fantasound", an 8-track music system that had to be specially made to lplay to simulate a concert. Fantasia was unsuccessful in the first runs, because of it's more "high brow" reputation and initially cost the Disney studio money, although it remains film three in Disney Canon.

Shan Yu in Mulan does not recieve a villian song, nor does he speak much, compared to other Disney Villians. While the villian Clayton does not sing as well, Shan Yu is significantly darker and more vicious compared to Clayton, whom was more oppotunistic and money-hungry. Shan Yu also had one of the more greusome Disney deaths, personally speaking!

The Genovian Queen is in fact Julie Andrews. While she does not sing, the movie does depart from the first Princess Diaries books in multiple ways. The Queen herself enjoys a subplot across the two Princess Diaries movies with her head of Security, Joseph.

If I win this pony is my top pick!: 1

BONUS ROUND!: I listen to a lot of different songs when I'm sad or angry. When I'm angry I tend to listen to things like Emilie Autumn's 'fight Like a Girl'. For sad times, I can listen to anything Sarah Mclachlan - she's great for sad.

QUESTION 2: All the time! I have soundtracks for characters, even. For example I have a playlist for my OC, Luci, and some of the songs she has are 'Walk the Dinosaur' because that captures her energy, and 'I will Follow you into the dark' because that captures her devotion to her twin sister, Emiliana.

Wreck-It Ralph is a movie based in video gaming. The game itself appears to be inspired by Donkey Kong, with Ralph filling Donkey Kong's role, and Fix-It Felix filling in for Mario, whom is mentioned in the film by name. During the Donkey Kong games, however, Mario was named Jumpman. Sugar Rush, the racing game in the film, is actually inspired by games in Japan that rarely make it over, accounting for the more unique design and the J-Poip style introduction.

D) Disco

'We Didn't start the Fire' is often parodied by multiple artists. In the song, however, the events run from the 50's and late 40's onward. It includes an old car called the Edsel... Which was a commercial failure.

6. What song is unlocked upon completing the main mode of Guitar Hero III?
D) Through the Fire and the Flames

When you complete the final guitar duel, you unlock "Through the Fire and the Flames" by Dragonforce in the credits. It is an extremely difficult song on all settlings as the priginal song is played by two guitarists - and you play alone. Best advice is to pause and pause often. The song is also incredibly long, so breaks can and do help.

7. Where does the band "Rammstein" get it's name?
D) A Military Base in Gemany.

Rammstein produced a song about Rammstein in Germany... A US Military Air Force Base.

8. Which of these is /not/ a Freedom Call song?

9. Moby can qualify as what kind of band?
A) Electronica

Although Techno is an acceptable answer, Moby is usually categorized under Electronica. Techno, Trance, and Electronica are all genres that come with synthesized sounds. Similarly, Assemblage 23 can be found in Electronica, although it is better suited to Gothic or Industrial genres.

10. Which of these bads has not made a Christmas Carol cover?

D) Guns 'n' Roses

Hanson released an Album of covers, and NSYNC did, in fact, release at least one Christmas song; where the Beatles released 'So this is Christmas'.

I got the actual answer wrong. Because I JUST NOW found a GnR cover to White Christmas.

As for that Hanson album, it was called Snowed In. Still, GNR?!

So! Another roll. Answer 10 is a free point since I was wrong. About GnR.

Me.

I'msoashamed.

4. Big Bang's Monster - It is strangely compelling and somehow apropos for so many of my characters.
5. Christina Perri's Jar of Hearts - I know I've used it in a previous answer, but I do love it, so evoking, and I can't help but remember Billy & Kathryn's dance every time I hear it - beautiful.
