Sorry, my net access is limited at the moment,

Name the band whose song 'Watch the Fat Man Swing' appeared in the movie 'If Lucy Fell' starring Sarah Jessica Parker, and name the grammy award nominated album which it came from.

Budz will check the answer for me if I'm too late.

 

[SP]

The band is Skeleton Key and the album is Fantastic Spikes Through Balloon

 

[Karmichael Hunt]

Good stuff Savage Panther, it was a pretty crap question I must admit.

You're up.

Incidently, do you know what grammy it was nominated for?

And one more thing, did you use Google to get the answer or did you know it? Congratulations if you did know it because it is a bit obscure

yeah i did use google, :lol:

U2's album, The Joshua Tree, has 3 songs at the end that The Edge calls "The Suite of Death"

The Songs are:

Exit - Which was written about the trial of John Bardo who was accused of murdering a young actress

Mothers of the disappeared - Bono travelled to El Salvador where he met the 'madres'. These were women whose children had been imprisoned or murdered by the military regime in the country.

and finally, One Tree Hill

and the question is: What was One Tree Hill about

 

[budz]

One Tree Hill was written about Greg Carroll who had been a member of U2's tour crew for 2 years when he was killed in a motorcycle accident in Dublin in 1986. The band had first met him on a hill outside Auckland, New Zealand which was known as One Tree Hill. On its release, Bono actually dedicated The Joshua Tree to Greg's memory.

Google is destroying the trivia industry.
