Hello guys :)
Not sure how well this might work, but i just posted Lou Reed's Satellite of Love on the music association game, and it gave me an idea for another game. Each post asks a trivia question. Whoever answers it then asks a new trivia question relating to the answer for the previous one. I'm starting with a music question, but can go in any direction whatsoever. So, to begin:
Who sang backing vocals on Lou Reed's 'Satellite of Love' ?
-
yes interesting question and i think your trying to trick us
backing vocals were supplied by Gustavo Manzu who also played piano
BUT what i think your askling is who was also backing vocals on the last chorus
it was the songs producer David Bowie
next Question
One of the characters in Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the victim of a spell that puts a donkey’s head on his shoulders. What is his name?

Nick Bottom

According to Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream, the secret to a highly potent love potion lies in the purple, yellow and white wild flower, "The juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid/will make man or woman madly dote/upon the next live creature that it sees," the fairy king tells Puck.
What is the name of this flower?

No trickery intended, Woody! Like my good friend Misdevious, i'm not that devious! However, you are right that David Bowie did indeed sing backing vocals in the final chorus...
The answer that I think you are looking for, Brandy, is 'love-in-idleness'.
***
Love-in-idleness is another name for the wild pansy. Where does the name pansy come from?

The name pansy is from the French word pensie, meaning thought or remembrance.
Pansy is also an English baby name after the flower. However, Pansy is not popular today as a result of its use as a slang term for a homosexual or an effeminate man.
Did you know that the flowers of pansies and violas are colorful and edible. They have a very mild sweet to tart flavour.

What is the Pansy's Latin name?

That would be Viola tricolor var. hortensis.
Why might you be worried if you had an Arion hortensis on your pansies?
