Tuesday Trivia

Last week's questions (from Ken Jennings' quiz):

1. What band is named for a British government form for claiming unemployment benefits?
Answer: UB40

2. What unusual distinction is shared by all these famous people? Marc Bolan, Ray Bradbury, Jimmy Breslin, Albert Einstein, Alfred Hitchcock, Michael Imperioli, Quincy Jones, and Vladimir Nabokov.
Answer: All were famous, at some point, for never having learned to drive a car. This had unhappy consequences in a few cases, such as Bolan's death on September 16, 1977. Despite never learning to drive, he owned a number of vehicles, including a famed white Rolls Royce.


Today's question:

What unusual distinction is shared by these songs? "American Woman" by the Guess Who, "Glamorous" by Fergie, "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani, "I'm Back" by Eminem, "I'm Henery VIII I Am" by Herman's Hermits, "Lola" by the Kinks, "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats, and "Turn On Me" by the Shins.
