- Q: Which one of the three tenors is not Spanish?
A: Luciano Pavarotti: he’s Italian. - Q: Which musical group achieved their first top 10 hit when they released the single ‘Right Now’ in 1999?
A: Atomic Kitten. In terms of chart dominance, “Right Now” first established the group’s presence by peaking at #10 in late 1999. However, Atomic Kitten reached their commercial zenith only after Jenny Frost replaced Kerry Katona.

A: The average male ejaculation is 9cc, with the band adding 1cc for extra punch.

King claims the name came to him in a dream where he saw a hoarding (billboard) for a band called “10cc” that was the “greatest band in the world.” - Q: Which 1967 song performed by Sandie Shaw won the Eurovision Song Contest?
