Here are some random facts for you . . .
1. Ian Hunter (from Mott the Hoople) recorded the original version of “Cleveland Rocks“, before the cover by The Presidents of the United States of America became the theme song for “The Drew Carey Show”.
Unlike Drew, Ian was NOT from Cleveland. He was from England. And his ORIGINAL version of the track in 1977 WAS “England Rocks“.
2. The Bugatti Veyron sports car had a top speed of 254 miles-per-hour . . . and at that speed, it got three miles-per-gallon.
3. Have you ever seen dryer sheets labeled as “vegan”? One of the key ingredients in a lot of dryer sheets is . . . BEEF FAT. The dryer sheets are coated in beef fat to help make the clothes softer.
4. During “SNL’s” first season, it was just known as “NBC’s Saturday Night” because ABC had a show called “Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell”. When that show ended, NBC’s show became “Saturday Night Live”.
But that’s why they still say “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!” at the beginning of every episode.
5. When “The Truman Show” was coming out in 1998, the director, Peter Weir, wanted to have hidden cameras installed in every theater showing it . . . then have the movie cut to the audience watching it.
