Insert your own Cannon joke here! The Queen of Ridiculous Outfits is old enough to be Madge's mum and is still going strong - her Las Vegas residency is booked for 2008 once Celine's finished doing her turn. Now you get EIGHT ticks to denote which of Cher's UK Top 40 hits you hold dearest! Before the angry Sonny Bono fans start kicking up a ruckus, I've omitted the S&C hits to keep things Cher-focused. Instead, here are some amazing Cher facts:

  • She went for the part of Morticia in the Addams Family film.
  • Her real name is Cheryl.
  • She is dyslexic.
  • Currently, Cher is involved with the US Army's "Operation Helmet". This is less interesting than it sounds.

    But that's not where his fanny is! Just to check, our Chezza there isn't Ms Cherry? Because that would be terrible.

    I ticked "Strong Enough" not cos I actually remember it but because I hope it was a REALLY REALLY flagrant rewrite of Believe. Probably it was a ballad tho.

    Gypsies TrampXoR and Thieves - masterpiece.

    'Strong Enough' sounded quite Steps-y...

    I only ticked 6 - what does 'Dark Lady' sound like?

    Cher's UK singles that failed to go top 40:

    I Feel Something In The Air
    We All Sleep Alone
    Heart Of Stone
    You Wouldn't Know Love
    Baby I'm Yours (not even top 75!)
    Love Hurts
    Whenever You're Near

    anyone heard any of these?

    I'd always heard that she took the name Cher because she was part-Cherokee, rather than because her name was Cheryl. Is this wrong?

    As recently as the spring of 2006, there were unsubstantiated reports circulating the internet that Cher was dating television star Lee Tergesen.

    was it racialist to equate gypsies with tramps and thieves in the way this song implies?

    I have a real soft spot for We All Sleep Alone - it was from her big comeback album that was produced by her then-shag from Bon Jovi, so it's all Bon Jovi-style soft rock. Same album as I Found Someone which I appear to be the only one hear loving.

    Think she's actually Armenian. Like Andre Agassi. And System of a Down.

    Yes! BUT it's "the people of the town" who are using these epithets, so it is they who r the racists.

    erm that was to Martin (I'm never gonna get the hang of this LJ biz, 'the other place' is so much easier to use - on the now infrequent days when it's actually working)

    True. Her name is Serkassian or something; Agassi is originally Agassian.
