I had an idea for the second, I was really close but no cigar, I had to google it.

Quoted from txx3ddq442:Haven't scrolled through all of this, but I'd go with Denver.
Close, but the n is a right hand key, and all others are left.
Like Denver, the answer is a state capital.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Honolulu? Is it even considered a major city?
This is a tough one
Yep! And I agree it’s a bit of a stretch. I could’ve been more specific and said a top 50 metro area, which it is.
Quoted from JimFNB:Close, but the n is a right hand key, and all others are left.
Like Denver, the answer is a state capital.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:So it's not Honolulu?
No, you got it. It is Honolulu — all of those letters are typed with your right hand on the keyboard.
An earlier guess of Denver was incorrect.
Manhattan, IL
Quoted from chad:Pineapple on pizza dates to 1962 Ontario , Canada at a local pizza joint as an experiment.
An experiment gone horribly wrong.
Not sure about now, but when I was a kid, there was a trivia question about major cities in the USA with the highest elevation.
Denver was # 1, and yeah, hear mile high city all the time.
Always surprising to me Atlanta was #2.
And it makes sense, so many major cities are right near the coast.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:What country has a Kalashnikov on their flag?
2nd hint. This is the flag.

IMO you drained too fast. This topic has been all over the place and pretty entertaining.

Yeah.... Maybe when you were a kid and some of the western cities were smaller..... There are quite a few major cities at higher elevation than Atlanta: Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Phoenix to name a few.

I agree and am going to PM him. This thread is to be whatever anybody wants it to be. Sports is often the usual go to. I probably made a mistake in starting it with a sports trivia, but it is the one I stump my friends all the time. I want this to be what you are interested in and the ironic trivia associated with it. This thread is keeping me engaged. I am surprised that we haven’t had any music trivia yet. Please keep them coming!!

.... And to really make you question everything you learned; the highest major US city with a population over 500k isn't even Denver; it's Albuquerque NM, which has it beat by 32 ft.
But if you've been to Denver since they legalized Marijuana, it might still be considered the highest......

Well we have had some music trivia.....just didn't get the answer from Frippertron yet
Quoted from ImNotNorm:2nd hint. This is the flag.[quoted image]
The answer is Mozambique.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:The answer is Mozambique.
I guessed Zimbabwe before I googled it.
My wife literally cannot even name the continent that a country is in, its so whack. I am so interested in it and wow, she’s got no care in the world for geography.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I love palindromes!! My favorite is...
A man a plan a canal Panama
Every lyric in this song is a palindrome:
Quoted from BigT:any music trivia
I used to love "don't forget the lyrics". Beat Shazam, not so much.
About to crash for the night, but yeah, I could go for some music lyrics or artists later, or song titles soon. I would start one now, except "time for me to fly".
My favorite riddle. No cheating!
In a room there are 53 bicycles. There is also a table in the middle of the room. A dead man with a bullet hole in his head is slouched in a chair, face down on the table.
What happened?
Quoted from hwyhed:Why is colonel spelled like that, but pronounced differently?!
Because it sounds too much like "Colon"?

Took me a second.....
Someone caught him cheating playing poker and shot him. The 53rd "bicycle" is the extra card he was cheating with.

Ohhh that's good. I was left scratching my head on that one.

Bingo.
Quoted from cmack750:Music Trivia:
Only 2 artists have ever had a single album top the sales charts 2 years in a row. One is Michael Jackson with "Thriller". The other artist has done it TWICE. Who is it?
For some reason Meatloaf comes to mind.
This has to be super easy.
First song ever played on MTV
(I miss the days when it was all music videos, then for a while VH-1 was good also)

Fleetwood Mac?
Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:correct, and I love that song.
Buggles
Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:Fleetwood Mac?
Strike two.....
You'd think that for this to have happened, it would have happened at a time when most people bought their music on vinyl/tape/CD instead of streaming it or just buying/pirating digital copies of individual songs....
.... But you'd be wrong.
Sunshine
Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:correct, and I love that song.
Don't like many cover songs,I think they sound butchered .Do like the 'Presidents of the United States of America' (POT USA) cover of that song.
The group 'Cake' did a good job with 'I will survive' performed by Gloria Gaynor.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:What African country is the only one that was never colonized?
Total guess ... Kenya?
The flag one was tough. I thought Uganda or another former dictatorship. I’ll have to look up why Mozambique has that on their flag.

More trivia ... I think it was another big milestone video on mtv, like 20 years ago. I remember the hoopla - plus thinking that mtv didn’t play music videos anymore even back then!
Googled it and it was the one millionth video when they played it in 2000.
The lead singer of the buggles was Trevor Horn, who became a huge music producer and a member of Yes. The other buggles member joined Asia as their keyboardist. Thanks Wikipedia.

Better question....
What was the second video played?
Quoted from ImNotNorm:What African country is the only one that was never colonized?
Ethiopia must be one?
Lots of national parks and never heard an english accent on tv shows, lol
Quoted from northerndude:Ethiopia must be one?

Ethiopia is correct!
It's considered "never colonized" despite Italy's occupation from 1936–1941 because it did not result in a lasting colonial administration.

Oh wow. Now I have to google it, me need learnin’
Quoted from Jaybird815:What do Krusty the Clown and Chandler from friends have in common?
Can't figure this one out....even though I have a feeling it's blatantly obvious, lol
Quoted from NY2Colorado:Better question....
What was the second video played?
Dire Straits - money for nothing?
Im only guessing that because the song starts out saying "I want my MTV"
