Choose the question below that is most applicable to the answer above. Make a note of the Question Number

Q02a

Before Procol hit on the idea of using the X Commandments as a theme for Novum, they were planning a rather longer concept album based on the chemical elements. At that early stage one of the now-familiar melodies had the following words sung in its elegant chorus:

‘I’m alkaline, metallic
And I’m speedy to react
If you’re a Dalek
You should fear me, that’s a fact
If you cook me in a curry
You’ll have turmoil in your tum
First you’ll vomit, then you’ll chunder
Sodium.’

Which song was it?

Q02b

Since Pete Brown wrote the words to this song, not Keith Reid, the band gave it a title which (spelt backwards) is the German word for ‘Reid-less’

Q02c

Specify a Novum song that no paying audience has yet heard Procol play in concert

Q02d

This song is incorrectly titled, because in proper English we write ‘more solid’, not ‘solider’
