Music Trivia: What Cher music video was performed on a U.S. Navy ship, with Cher dressed only in a revealing one-piece bathing suit?
Ahh, Cher. The woman might just be more plastic than human at this point. But, regardless of any plastic surgery that she has had, you have to admit, her singing career is incredibly impressive. Spanning more than four decades, Cher actually holds the record for the longest time span between number one hits (33 years and 7 months was the time between I Got You Babe and Believe). A career like that deserves nothing short of admiration.
Cher is best known by many, however, for a music video and outfit that nearly blinded many...okay, not literally, but it was pretty bad. So, off of Pocket Trivia: Music Trivia - What Cher music video was performed on a U.S. Navy ship, with Cher dressed only in a revealing one-piece bathing suit? Was it Song for the Lonely, Believe, Gypsies, Trams & Thieves or If I Could Turn Back Time?

Music Trivia: What Robbie Williams video featured Williams tearing off his skin to reveal his flesh underneath - all while dancing?
Music videos are known for showing gratuitous amounts of skin. In some videos, they show more...much more. One such music video was filmed by Robbie Williams. It begins harmless enough - in an attempt to get the girl's attention, Robbie strips. Okay, fine, whatever. Then...he starts taking off his skin. And muscles. And all that's left is a dancing skeleton (which does, thankfully, get the attention of the girl). So, off of Pocket Trivia - Music Trivia: What Robbie Williams video featured Williams tearing off his skin to reveal his flesh underneath - all while dancing? Is it Feel, Millenium, Rock DJ or Supreme?

80s Trivia: Who sang the theme song for 'Miami Vice'?
You don't get much more 80s than Miami Vice. The music, the cars, the culture and the terrible, terrible clothing just screamed about the decade that so many of us would love to forget. And let me emphasize one item again: the music. Miami Vice was renowned for its use of music in its episodes, often spending serious cash to acquire the rights to use certain songs in episodes. Many musicians also served as guest stars during the show. So much original music was created for the series that it actually had three soundtracks released.
Its theme song, replete with synthesizers (many, many synthesizers) and no lyrics, was classic Vice. So, off of Pocket Trivia: 80s Trivia - Who composed the theme song for 'Miami Vice'? Was it Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Jan Hammer or Elton John?

US History Trivia: Who was the first Vice President appointed by the United States Senate?
We all know that, if the President dies, the Vice President becomes President. What is less known, and less frequent, is what happens if the Vice President vacates the office for some reason. This occurrence has happened on eighteen different occasions - yet, only twice in American history has a Vice President been appointed by the U.S. Senate. So, off of Pocket Trivia: US History - Who was the first Vice President appointed by the United States Senate? Was it Charles Fairbanks, Nelson Rockefeller, Hubert Humphrey or Gerald Ford?

US Presidents Trivia: What President was not allowed to attend his party's national convention by the Secret Service?
One of the highlights of virtually every Presidential nominating convention is speeches by the incumbent President or former President's. With relatively few exceptions (2008 being one of them), former/current President's are welcomed with open arms and seen as rallying points for their party. However, this isn't always the case - in some cases, President's are unpopular and seen as relics of the past. And in at least one case, the Secret Service refused to allow a President to attend his party's nominating convention due to fears on his life. So, off of Pocket Trivia: US Presidents - What President was not allowed to attend his party's national convention by the Secret Service? Was it Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson or Woodrow Wilson?
