Nickelodeon gets it's name from the movie theaters that featured machines called nickelodeons that played mini movies that operated by putting in a nickel and were popular in the 1940's during World War II. On Nickelodeon itself the channel actually debuted in 1979 with the debut of a show called Pinwheel and was bought by MTV Music Television in the 80's. In the cartoon sense Nickelodeon debuted Nicktoons in 1991 and has a channel devoted to the Nicktoons called Nicktoons Network

Thanks again for the great trivia, Bestie! Here is a trivia question for you: Who had a hit with this song?
DTK

Put another nickel in
In the nickelodeon
All I want is having you
And music, music, music

I'd do anything for you
Anything you'd want me to
All I want is kissin' you
And music, music, music

Closer, my dear, come closer
The nicest part of any melody
Is when you're dancing close to me

So, put another nickel in
In the nickelodeon
All I want is lovin' you
And music, music, music

[Instrumental Interlude]

Put another nickel in
In the nickelodeon
All I want is having you
And music, music, music

I'd do anything for you
Anything you'd want me to
All I want is kissin' you
And music, music, music

Closer, my dear, come closer
The nicest part of any melody
Is when you're dancing close to me

So, put another nickel in
In the nickelodeon
All I want is lovin' you
And music, music, music

"C'mon, everybody
Put some nickels in
And keep that old Nickelodeon playing"
