Today I learned that the #Cher of Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe" and the Chér of "Do You Believe in Life After Love)" are the same Cher. 😱
Also, that "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" was originally from her (written by her husband Sonny) rather than from Nancy Sinatra (the version in Kill Bill).

Today I learned that there was a person in the world who didn't already know this...

Some people were born in the 1900's and some people were born in the 2000's... there are a lot more people born in the 2000's now that don't know a whole lot of things about the 1900's. Scary times.

That's a ship of Theseus kind question.

If a plastic surgeon took all the parts of Cher of Sonny & Cher and reassembled them into the Cher of Do You Believe In Life After Love, would it still be the same Cher? 🤔

You would be missing quite a few parts. The New Cher is significantly enhanced and thus has a few more parts then Cher 1.0.

Cher has a top 40 hit in 7 decades, people thinking there were different ones is understandable.

I don't care if that's a joke, you frightened me with the idea that there might be 2 of them... although, maybe he was a conjoined twin, and the good one is an actual genius kept on a leash in an attic somewhere.

Did you think there were two #1 hit music artists named Cher?

@dogslayeggs To be honest I barely think at all.

Wait, what? I mean... they look, sing, and speak identically. Because they are identical. Because they are the same person.
