Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
2) His piano is tucked away in a crowded attic. Does your home have an attic? If so, what do you keep up there? Alas, no attic, no basement. I could use the storage!
3)
The inspiration for this song is his wife's old school chum, the very
wealthy and very mean Cruella de Vil. Have you ever found you couldn't
stand one of your spouse's or lover's friends? Yes. I'm certain it happens all the time, too.
4)
Make no mistake, Cruella is a very bad lady. The American Film
Institute named her #38 on their 100 Greatest Villains list. Tell us
another nasty movie character who comes to mind. I think the Corleones are the most dangerous kind of bad guys because they're so sympathetic. Yes, they are devoted sons and loving dads, but they are also stone murderers.

5)
Cruella wanted to skin sweet little Dalmation puppies and make a coat.
(We told you she was bad.) As winter wears on, could you use a new coat
(though not one made from puppy fur!)? I don't need a new coat, but the one I have could benefit from a good cleaning.
6)
This song was written by Mel Leven, who did both words and music. Do
you think you'd be more successful as a lyricist (words) or composer
(music)? If I had to support myself as a songwriter, I'd starve.
7) 1961 was a big year for Disney. In addition to this animated movie, they had a hit with The Parent Trap, about twins who are reunited at summer camp. Approx. 1 in every 250 births results in twins. Are there any twins in your family? Nope

8) Also in 1961, IBM introduced the Selectric typewriter. Amazon and Walmart both still sell typewriters. Do you own one? Nope
9) Random question: When is the last time you took a nap? Yesterday
My husband loves the Godfather movies. I have the theme as the ringtone for when my husband calls me.
ReplyDelete#9 As I write this I a starting to nod off.
ReplyDelete#5 My coat needs a trip to the tailor to fix the lining.
The last time we took my husband's suit to the cleaners, we discovered cleaning costs had quadrupled. No wonder I prefer things that are washable, although of course the cost of that is going up as well.
ReplyDeleteI rather like the image of you clacking away on a typewriter, of all of the Sat 9 regulars, I expected you to have one!
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one with an attic? I wonder if it is a midwest thing or just an old house thing? I want a basement too....to hide from the tornadoes. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.
