Music Trivia: What actor released a cover of Respect Yourself in 1987?

Actors frequently make cross-overs into music, often with disastrous or hilarious results (ever heard Party All The Time by Eddie Murphy?  Ouch).  Sometimes commercial successes, other times failures, these songs frequently prove why a legitimate double-threat (acting & singing combo) is so rare.

However, they aren't all bad.  In fact, sometimes they can sound halfway decent and be commercial successes.  So, off of our newest game, Pocket Trivia - Music Trivia:   What actor released a cover of Respect Yourself in 1987?  Was it Bruce Willis, Eddie Murphy, Molly Ringwald or Tracey Ullman?

80s Trivia: Who killed John Lennon?

We frequently deal with questions related to Presidential assassination attempts, or actual assassinations.  However, tragically, every now and then we venture into the same area, but for music.  As most of you are probably aware, John Lennon was killed by a crazed fan on December 8, 1980, one of the worst days in music history.  Off of Pocket Trivia: 80s Trivia - What was the name of the man that killed John Lennon?  Was it John Hinckley, Mark David Chapman, David Berkowitz or Phil Rudd?

80s Trivia Question: What was Michael Jackson shooting a commercial for when his hair caught fire?

As promised, we're going to start profiling some of the questions off of our new 80s Trivia game.  The format will remain the same, but the questions will just be that much more 80s-tastic.  Since its the 80s and not things that happened decades ago, we'll try and add some pictures and video wherever possible.  Anyway, here is today's 80s question:  What was Michael Jackson shooting a commercial for when his hair caught fire?   Pepsi, McDonalds, Burger King or Dunkin Donuts?  The answer after the jump.
