A lot of people don't realize this popular guitar instrument hit song was a cover version.

It was originally an instrumental composition written and originally recorded by jazz guitarist Johnny Smith in 1954. It was the cover version of the song in 1960 that made it climb the charts. The song is included in Rolling Stone's top 100 guitar songs of all time.

Can you name the song and who made it famous?

This concert was unbelievable. He starts the whole show by walking on stage alone with a little cassette-playing boom box, hits "play", and the show never stops for two hours.

The most famous silent film of the 1970s was made by one of Hollywood's most "loud" comedic directors...

The entire film is almost entirely without dialogue.

Only one word is spoken throughout the entire movie: "Non!", spoken by the renowned mime artist Marcel Marceau.

This is a classic cinematic joke because the only person speaking is the world's most famous mime artist.

Holy shit. After being 50 minutes late, Trump literally RUNS AWAY from the media to avoid answering questions about his surrender deal with Iran.

This is a man who knows he lost. What a coward.

Xanadu is the main theme of the 1980 film of the same name, starring Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly. The song was written by Jeff Lynne of the Electric Light Orchestra and recorded in partnership with the band, mixing pop, disco and orchestral arrangements in a fantastic and danceable atmosphere.

Released as a single, it reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was a major worldwide success, although the film was a box office failure at the time (today it is considered a cult classic).

NEW: President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama gave their first joint interview nearly a decade after leaving the White House.

Thankful every day for the Obama era that brought dignity, hope, and true leadership to the White House.

Class, grace, intelligence, and role models our kids could look up to.

Elisabeth Shue on her favourite scene in "Adventures in Babysitting" (1987) & why it played an important part in her being cast in "Leaving Las Vegas" (1995):

"What’s interesting for me, too, is looking back at the few great roles that I feel like I’ve had, and I think there are a few, and I really do believe in my heart 'Adventures in Babysitting' is one of them because she gets to carry the movie.

There weren’t too many lead roles for women at the time, for sure. So I think the fact that the film had to have a girl, because most babysitters were girls at the time, that’s kind of nice.

Blues Club scene was probably one of my favorite experiences in film, like at the top, top, top of every experience I had. I had so, so, so much fun. I think you can probably see it in in my performance. I probably had way too much fun.

I do know that without ‘Adventures in Babysitting,’ I wouldn’t have gotten ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ (1995) because (director) Mike Figgis said that that was one of his favorite movies, oddly enough So, I’m grateful for that."

P.S: On this day, 39 years ago, "Adventures in Babysitting" (1987) premiered in New York City, USA.
