Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
Here's our first Saturday 9 of 2020!
2) This time of year is important to college football fans. Are you watching/have you watched any of the Bowl games this year? Nope.
3) Crazy Sam's been cold/flu free so far this winter and credits the Echinacea she takes every morning. Her brother insists she's wasting her money. Do you take any herbal supplements? Nope.
4) In the video for this song, Erin Bowman is singing in front of lights and ornaments. Are you sorry to see the decorations slowly disappear? Or do you think they should all come down right away? I'd like them to come down sooner rather than later. They often look sad, dirty and much the worse for wear as the season wears on.

5) She sings about socks, a scarf and a sweater. Tell us about your favorite sweater. It's light blue and long sleeved. Very casual, it has a string tie at the neck to give it a little character. From my late, lamented favorite store, Carson's. It cost about $8 at an after-Christmas sale years ago. Still, it makes me happy.
6) Erin credits her 8th grade choir teacher for believing in her and giving her a solo. That helped give her the confidence to go into performing professionally. When you were in 8th grade, did you know what you wanted to be when you grew up? Kinda sorta. At that point, I didn't know that "advertising copywriters" existed. But I knew I'd write somehow.
7) This song has been used in commercials for McDonald's and Turner Classic Movies. What commercial have you seen recently? Was it on TV or online? This one. "But why?" cracks me up.
8) In 2014, when this song was first released, we lost both Joan Rivers and Robin Williams. What comedian always makes you laugh? Stephen Colbert.
9) Random question -- There are two performers in the trapeze act: the one who flies through the air and the one who catches the flier. Which would you rather be? The flier.
Hi I found you at Ann's. I am new to this and still learning.
ReplyDeleteI hate to see another department store bite the dust.. Walmart is taking over the world. And we all suffer from mediocrity.
ReplyDeleteFirst time for me to participate in Saturday 9 and it was fun.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your answers and have a good day.
It makes me sad when stores close down. I am bad about shopping online, but not for clothes. I always go to the store so I can try them on. Your sweater sounds adorable! Loved your answers! Have a great weekend!

That Progressive commercial is funny. The commentary lines at the end are the best part. I have been reading your posts about your holiday; I am sorry your friend is unwell. I hope he is doing better. I know he has a long recovery ahead of him.
ReplyDeleteI used to love Stephen Colbert, but I don't know...he just hasn't been tickling my funny bone lately.
ReplyDeleteHang on to that sweater! The store that had been my favorite since high school closed about 5 years ago. I'm still in mourning and have yet to find another store to replace it.
Love all of your answers, as usual!! I'm with you on the Christmas decorations. Geeze in my neck of the wood these people are decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving. When did all of this get so out of hand? Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI still have clothes from Fashion Bug (which closed in 2013) and miss that store.
