Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.
1. In this song, Lesley Gore sings that sunshine is wonderful. It's hard to argue with that. Is it sunny where you are today? I'm doing this Friday morning. The skies are predicted to be gray and cloudy today.
2.
Tootsie Roll is the world's #1 manufacturer of lollipops, and cherry is
their most popular flavor. Do you have a sweet tooth? If yes, what's
your favorite sweet treat? Chocolate candy, cookies or ice cream.
3.
According to myth, you'll find a leprechaun's pot of gold at the end of
a rainbow. If you suddenly, unexpectedly came into $100,000, what is
the first thing you would buy? I'd pay off my condo, fix it up a little, and then sell it I'd like to start over.
4.
She feels brighter than a lucky penny. Abraham Lincoln was the first
person to appear on a U.S. coin, when the 1909 penny was struck in honor
of his 100th birthday. Thomas Jefferson is on the nickel, George
Washington is on the quarter, and John F. Kennedy is on the half dollar.
Without looking, do you know which President is on the dime? FDR
5. Lesley Gore was very popular in the 1960s, with 11 Top Ten hits. Most people don't know that, while she was making records, she was also attending Sarah Lawrence College and graduated with her BA in 1968. What's something most Saturday 9ers would be surprised to know about you? I don't know there is anything. I've been pretty frank on this blog.

6. She performed "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows" in the movie Ski Party. Do you plan to ski this season? No. I'm a klutz and I live in a very flat area, so skiing is highly unlikely to happen.

This song was written by Marvin Hamlisch, who would go on to win three
Oscars, four Grammys, three Emmys, a Tony, and a Pulitzer Prize. That's
quite an impressive list! But we believe our Sat 9-ers are impressive,
too. So give yourself an award this morning. (For example, Crazy Sam is
now Meme Mistress of the Year.) I'm the Doyenne of Doctor's Appointments. It seems all I've done this month is go to the doctor, or the dentist, or the vet.
8. In 1965, when this song was on the charts, I Dream of Jeannie premiered. This supernatural sitcom, about an astronaut who finds a genie on a beach, competed for viewers with Bewitched, which was about an advertising executive who marries a witch. Do you prefer Bewitched or I Dream of Jeannie?

9. Random question -- Which would you rather have, tacos or pizza? Pizza. Always.
I hope your birthday is the bestest!
ReplyDeleteI felt the same...after all the years of answering meme questions I don't think there's any mystery left. We've pretty much covered it all. FDR? Dang, my guess was way off.
ReplyDeleteI am a piece of chocolate donut today. Pizza too. Not very healthy, but it was tasty. Back to more healthy tomorrow. I would give you an award for wanting to care for others.
ReplyDelete#5, I feel the same way. #8, I loved both. Loved your answers!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.

I hope your weekend getaway is fantastic! And I'm a pizza fan, too, although I haven't had tacos in so long I chose tacos.
ReplyDeleteI went with Bewitched, too. More appealing to our age group, I suspect.
ReplyDeleteI also think there is not a lot to be revealed about my daily likes and dislikes since I've been blogging for over 25 years, at Geocities and Now Blogger. Tacos! were my choice, too. I watch your weather everyday.. and Gah! We hope you are snuggled up and warm!
