1. Nickelodeons The Nickelodeon (Nickel = 5¢-coin, Greek: Odeion = roofed over theatre) was an early 20th century form of small, neighbourhood movie theaters in the United States. Nickelodeons in competitive markets had a piano or organ, playing whatever music the pianist or organist knew that seemed appropriate to a scene (e.g. classic ragtime for a chase sequence, or what was called at the time "Eliza-crossing-the-ice" music during the scary moments). The name "Nickelodeon" was coined by Harry Davis and John P. Harris, who opened their small, storefront theatre with that name on Smithfield Street in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in June 1905. Though theirs was not the first theatre in the world to specialize in presenting movies, Davis and Harris found such great success with their operation that their concept of a five cent theatre running movies continuously was soon imitated by hundreds of ambitious entrepreneurs, as was the name of the theatre itself.

  Lyrics: One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
  The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free

  And if you're lucky then the god's a she
  I can feel an angel sliding up to me.

10. Mozart's father Johann Georg Leopold Mozart (1719–1787) was a composer, music teacher and violinist. He was born in the city of Augsburg (Germany), and was legally a citizen of the Diocese of Salzburg (now in Austria), but spent much of his time in Vienna, Austria, (all within the Holy Roman Empire). He is best known today for being the father and teacher of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as well as writing the well-known book, Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule, but in his time, Leopold Mozart was well-known for his own musical compositions. Leopold believed that Wolfgang was a miracle of God and that he was given the duty by God to educate him and show his talents to the whole world. Once he described his son as "The miracle which God let be born in Salzburg." After numerous arguments, there was a split between father and son. After that, their relations improved but they started to regard themselves as fellow musicians rather than father and son.
