TRIVIA CONTEST: Be 1st to Answer Correctly, and Win 2 Tickets to See Wynton Marsalis!

nyc.online.trivia.contestLast Friday, we announced that we would be holding a special trivia contest today with Jazz at Lincoln Center, one of our esteemed prize partners for our upcoming NYC-themed trivia night at The Bell House on February 27th,  hosted by TrivWorks “Special Host” Pat Kiernan, as a means of getting attendees fired up for the event.

As promised, below is one challenging trivia question for you to ponder; the first person to answer correctly will receive 2 free tickets to see the legendary Wynton Marsalis perform live with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra this Friday, February 17th as part of the iconic Stan Kenton Centennial concert series!

Seeing how our February 27th trivia event is focused on NYC pop culture – the people, places, events and media which make New York City the greatest city on Earth – it is only appropriate that today’s trivia contest be focused on the Big Apple.

Here is your question, which is made up of 4 parts:

The blockbuster movie “Ghostbusters” came out nearly 30 years ago, and still stands the test of time as a classic New York City film. It additionally highlights Lincoln Center, the Upper West Side and Columbus Circle, which of course is now home to Jazz at Lincoln Center.

The music video for the song “Ghostbusters” by Ray Parker, Jr. is also an important piece of NYC pop culture history, yet for other reasons.

Please tell me the following:

  1. 1.     Which NYC-born musician sued Ray Parker, Jr. for copyright infringement for this song?
  2. 2.     According to the suit, was the name of the song which “Ghostbusters” allegedly infringed upon?
  3. 3.     Which future US Senator makes a cameo appearance in this music video?
  4. 4.     What is the number to call the Ghostbusters?

To submit your answer, please contact us via Twitter @TrivWorks or write in the “Leave a Reply” section below. Only 1 submission per person – you MUST answer all 4 parts of the question, and they must ALL BE CORRECT!

The first person to correctly submit the answers to the above question will win our prize!

Good luck!
