Saturday 9: Keep Me Warm

Woohoo! Here we are, the first Saturday 9 of 2020. It just seems so crazy how fast time is flying. In a conversation with a friend, we realized that we had lived in 6 decades, 2 centuries, and 2 millenniums. Holy cow! And now that I've made you feel old let's get to this week's questions.

Saturday 9: Keep Me Warm (2014)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

Here's our first Saturday 9 of 2020!

1) Are you feeling warm and cozy as you answer these questions?  I sure am. Even though it rained all day today the temperature stayed in the upper 50's. It's going to start out there tomorrow, but drop later in the day and snow is supposed to be on its way. Yay. Not.

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, not a single one. I'm not a huge college football fan, but I've been working through most of the games this year, anyway.

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?  Sometimes, but not on any regular basis. FYI, elderberry is supposed to be good for colds. I also use essential oils for some things like muscle aches, congestion, and headaches.

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?  No, not really sorry. I absolutely love them for the month they are up from Thanksgiving to New Years, but I am ready for them to be gone by then.

5) She sings about socks, a scarf and a sweater. Tell us about your favorite sweater.  I guess that would have to be the longer, light-weight cowlneck sweater I found at Walmart. I like it so much I have it in black, red, and bright blue. I get a LOT of compliments every time I wear one, especially the blue one.

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?  I had lots of ideas...architect, archeologist, social worker, radio dj, magazine editor...just to name a few.

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?  The one where "Mayhem" is a St. Bernard puppy in the car with Tina Fey. I love those commercials. Whoever thought them up is brilliant! Oh, and I saw it on TV.

8) In 2014, when this song was first released, we lost both Joan Rivers and Robin Williams. What comedian always makes you laugh?  Wow...that's kind of a tough call. Most of them are so crude these days and I just don't appreciate that kind of humor. I do like the Blue Collar Comedy guys most of the time, but even Jeff Foxworthy and definitely Larry the Cable Guy get pretty crude at times. I can't think of anyone right now that ALWAYS makes me laugh. 

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?  I don't want to be either one! Can I be the one on the ground holding the guide ropes?

That's all for today. Have a happy Saturday and I will catch up with everyone later. It's a working weekend for me.
