Saturday 9: Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress) 1972
Unfamiliar
with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1)
This week's song begins with Hollies' lead singer Allan Clarke telling
us of a Saturday night trip downtown, taken at the behest of the FBI.
What are your plans for Saturday night? (No, we don't expect you to tell
us you'll be working undercover for a government agency.) I'll be nightclubbing till 2 AM. Or go to bed by 9...
2)
At a bar, he meets a woman in a black dress. The LBD, or little black
dress, is a wardrobe staple for many women because it's appropriate for
almost any occasion. Let's say you get a last-minute invitation for a
"dressy" dinner this weekend and you don't have the time or money to buy
something new. What's your go-to outfit from your closet? My full Klingon Uniform is rather special.
3) Everyone at the bar starts to run when they hear sirens. Do you often hear sirens in your neighborhood? Never.
4)
In 1972, the year this week's song was on the charts, Popeye's opened
their first fast-food chicken restaurant in Louisiana. Now that the
Thanksgiving feast is over, will you be eating any carry-out this
weekend? Since I don't cook it's that or starve!
5)
Black is this week's signature color because November 24 was Black
Friday, when retailers historically have slashed their prices and the
holiday shopping season begins. Have you begun your gift shopping? Why is it Christmas Eve?
6)
Walmart, Best Buy and Target all advertise heavily on Black Friday. If
you could have a $100 gift card from one of those stores, which would
you choose? What would you buy? Our Targets sell vodka. Enough said!
7)
This Monday is sometimes known as Cyber Monday because shoppers can
find big savings online. Do you shop confidently online, or do you worry
about security breaches and identity theft? No one wants my identity.
8) What are you thankful for this year? Family & friends.
9)
Random question: Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone (texting doesn't count)? My sister wished me a happy Turkey Day.
So good to see you meme-ing! I hope all is well!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Allison!
DeleteThe Klingon Uniform made me giggle. The Target vodka made me giggle and shake my head. Same old Bud!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann!
DeleteI’d kov3 to see the uniform. Can you also recite Shakespeare in the original Klingon?
ReplyDeleteIt's on my FB page...
DeleteWho doesn't want to be you, Bud? Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteThanks as always! You've hosted so long now! Congrats on another great year!
DeleteIt is good to see you Bud! Your post made me laugh as always. I hope you are doing well. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend. ♥

I'm great, hon!
Delete#1 I will put my money on “Or Going to bed by 9”
ReplyDelete#4 I cook but it will still be carry-out weekend.
#5 Now that is my philosophy, shop Christmas eve and enclose the refund receipt.
The thing with being retired is that everyday is a holiday!
P.S. #3 I was listening to WHCN one afternoon when the DJ said that he heard sirens and they were getting louder. Then the station went off the air for about a 1/2 hour and when it came back on the DJ said "I found out where the fire was... it was here! A couch fire."
ReplyDeleteI worked there. It was probably from a bong!
