This week's tune? Hear it here.
- In this song, Bobby Darin admits he cares more for the girl than he should. What's something you have recently overdone (eaten too many potato chips, stayed up too late, etc.)?
Pfff... Overdone... Can't think of anything. Trying not to eat too much, I am a bad sleeper, so there is no tooo late. (Who is going to tell me to go to bed at a normal time?). Maybe I overdid telling to my daughter to take some money from my account for food, while she had spend too much money on clothes. - Bobby wrote this as the theme song for a movie he starred in with his wife, Sandra Dee. That Funny Feeling (the movie) turned a profit at the box office and "That Funny Feeling" (the record) made the Billboard Top 40. Can you think of another movie and song that were both popular?
Yellow Submarine of the Beatles???? - While Bobby had a successful movie career and earned an Oscar nomination, he didn't get the part he wanted most: Tony in West Side Story. While he could sing and dance very well, producers didn't think Bobby looked like a romantic leading man. What actor or actress makes your heart skip a beat?
I guess I am getting too old.
I only can think of the classical ones.
But I haven't watched a lot of movies the past years.
Amanda Hart comes to mind, because she makes me laugh. - Elvis enjoyed watching Bobby perform, but understood that if he sat in the audience he would be a distraction. So Elvis always watched Bobby from the wings. Think about the last thing you saw in a theater (concert, movie, play). Were you distracted by another audience member? Was anyone crinkling paper, checking their phone, whispering, etc.?
I haven't been to the theatre for years!
I remember a ballet performance. In my time the front door, the one near the stage, was not used during a performance. This time it was. That annoyed me. - When the editor of a teen magazine asked if he could cook, Bobby not only said yes, he offered up his manicotti recipe. What's your favorite pasta dish? (To eat, not necessarily to whip up in your kitchen.)
I don't like pasta, and I am not allowed to eat it.
What was most palatable was spaghetti carbonara. - In addition to cooking, Bobby's friends recall he loved talking about classic cars and baseball. Which of those three would you be most comfortable discussing?
I like the look of some classic cars. But discussing that? No.
Baseball is no subject in my country.
So it must be cooking. - In 1965, when Americans were listening to "That Funny Feeling," aspirin was the top over-the-counter pain reliever. You could get a bottle of 200 tablets for just $1. Is there aspirin in your medicine chest right now?
There is. But the medicine chest of not only for me. My daughter uses it, I don't, as I never experienced it to work. - Also in 1965, I Dream of Jeannie premiered. The sitcom about a beautiful genie living in the suburbs was developed to compete with Bewitched, about a beautiful witch living in the suburbs. Which show do like better?
Don't know them. - Random question: After a friend leaves your home, you spot a small, bound book on the floor next to your sofa. You flip through it and see that her journal fell out of her purse. It's mostly shopping lists and appointments but also includes personal observations, Once you realize what it is, do you close it and keep it closed until you can return it to her? Or do you continue reading?
I close it.
I have always be lucky to respect the privacy of other people.
I think I wouldn't even flip through it, as I would know it's hers when she has been the only visitor.
If there has been more visitors I would send a mail to all asking who left the booklet.
Thank you for reminding mee I have to look for a dairy/agenda for next year.
