Victims of stupid people.

In case you have leftovers..

Saturday 9: It Must Be Him (1967)



1) This song is about a woman waiting impatiently for a phone call. Do you consider yourself patient?

I try to be..every day..

2) Other women (most notably Shirley Bassey and Dottie West) have recorded this song. Harry James and Doc Severinson did instrumental versions. But there's no record of a male singing "Oh dear God! It must be her! Or I shall die!" Do you think that's because waiting for the phone to ring is more "a chick thing," and men simply don't do it?

People just seem to text these days or stalk on social media.

3) This recording enjoyed a sudden surge of popularity after 20 years when it was included on the soundtrack of Moonstruck, the 1987 film that won Cher an Oscar. Have you seen Moonstruck?

Like a million times.

4) This week's featured artist, Vikki Carr, was born in El Paso, TX. El Paso can proudly proclaim itself one of America's safest cities. What can your hometown be proud of?


lol. Gangsters. Corrupt state Governors. Occasionally a winning sports team..or rarely . Pizza. Hot Dogs.


5) She was a staple on Jerry Lewis' Labor Day Telethon, raising funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association by performing this song. Is your TV on right now? If so, what are you watching?


I have on in the background my choice of 'Political Propaganda" as it is viewed as these days. It use to be  called the news.


6) In 1971, Vikki fulfilled a dream of hers by establishing the Vikki Carr Scholarship Foundation. Every year the foundation awards Hispanic American students money to use toward higher education. She says it's her way of returning "the support and encouragement she received from others" early in her career. If you could establish a charitable foundation, what cause would you like it to benefit?


Victims of stupid people.


7) In 1967, when this song was popular, Dr. Christiaan Barnard performed the first heart transplant. Today, one of the most common surgeries performed in the United States is the coronary artery bypass surgery. Have you had any surgeries?


Yes. I had a tumor or two and a baby all removed via surgery.

8) Also in 1967, the RMS Queen Mary was retired after 31 years of service. Have you ever traveled by cruise ship?


Nope.


9) Random question: Who is your oldest living relative?

Geez. The Greatest Generation folks are all gone now. So, I guess my husband has sisters who are older than my sister. All boomers. 

We ran out of three Sam's Club bags of candy within the first hour of trick or treating. What is with adults begging for candy?? What- you can't steal from your kids or hit a half price sale the next day? Most of these begging adults are probably the last people on the planet who really need candy anyway.

Enjoy your weekend!!
