You really should come up with tougher questions. I will give someone else a chance on the rest.

 

What was the last song the Beatles recorded together?
Depends on the definition of "together." George, Paul and Ringo recorded "I Me Mine" in the opening days of January 1970. For the last song on which all four Beatles participated in the recording studio, I think you'd have to go back to summer of 1969.

Who played drums on the Beatles “Love Me Do” and was paid $12?
Andy White

 

What 2 Rolling Stones hits were recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama?

"Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses."

 

This could be several films...

Renaldo & Clara
Masked & Anonymous
Heart's of Fire
Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid

 

Was Brown Sugar recorded there? I thought it was only Wild Horses...

 

I think Pat Garrett was the only one with a song.

 

yes, Brown Sugar also.

 

They’re going for John Lennon. He was not shot while signing an autograph.

 

Not a musical trivia question but a favorite trivia question of mine.
Which former President of the United States was once a King?

 

Ford.

 

We have a winner!

 

Good one!

 

In 1987, the song “I Think We’re Alone Now” by Tiffany was knocked out of the #1 spot by Billy Idols’ “Mony Mony”. Both of those songs were originally recorded by whom? - Tommy James & The Shondells.

 

Maybe spelling out King with the capital K is too much of a giveaway. Usually when I ask someone they reply, "I dunno... George Washington?"

 

OK, I can't resist...

Who is the one musician who recorded with both Buddy Holly and John Lennon?

 

Maybe for me and dmiller458.
But how many people even remember Gerald Ford?

 

King Curtis.

I kind of guessed at this but then looked it up to confirm.

Good one!

 

He's from Michigan, so he's still remembered here.

 

I remember when I was in high school, we were talking about Gerry Ford in History class and a girl asked, "who's Gerry Ford?".
This took place during the Ford administration.

 

sorry..typo..should have said "after signing an autograph"

 

Forgiven.
