marking the debut of the TV show on June 15, 1969.
Critics hated the show, so it lasted 20 years.
It’s also National Lobster Day.
Mmmm. Good.
History 101: 1992: U.S. Vice-President Dan Quayle advised a Trenton, New Jersey, elementary school student to spell "potato" p-o-t-a-t-o-e.
Music History 101: 1956: in Woolton, England, at a church party, at 15 year old boy met and befriended a 13 year old and they would eventually start writing songs together and one thing would lead to another. The fifteen year olds’ name was John; the thirteen year old was named Paul as in Lennon/McCartney.
The 101 Number One song of the Day was the first American chart topper to be sung in a foreign language. But the title was so unpronounceable that a new one was made up that had nothing to do with the song itself.
The original title roughly translates to “I Look Up When I Walk” but since the language was not one that western audiences could handle very well, the record company simply took the one word from that language that would be instantly recognizable. As Newsweek Magazine pointed out, it was like releasing “Moon River” in Japan and calling it “Beef Stew.” Regardless, it arrived at number one in America on June 15, 1963 for Kyu Sakamoto – “Sukiyaki”
