Saturday 9 Gets Down Tonight....


Get Down Tonight

Welcome to Saturday 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme! 

Saturday 9: Get Down Tonight (1975)

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

1) Tonight, KC has three things on his "to-do" list: do a little dance, make a little love and get down. Tell us three things you'd like to accomplish this weekend.  Laundry, grocery shopping, and a make a Thanksgiving menu.

2) This week's song is considered emblematic of disco, a genre that had as many detractors as fans. Is there a kind of music you simply cannot stand?  Rap.

3) Before becoming a musician, KC, aka Harry Casey, worked in a record store. In those days, record stores were very popular. Peaches, Coconuts, Sam Goody and Tower Records are four store chains that once dotted the landscape but now are gone. Today, if you wanted to purchase a CD, where would you turn?  Amazon Prime.

4) One of his duties at the record store was unloading the big corrugated shippers filled with LPs. What's the heaviest thing you've lifted lately?  A case of water from Sam's Club.

5) KC is proud that he's lived his entire life in Miami-Dade County. Do you expect to change your address in the next year or so?   Nope!  We just did that this year and I am here to stay!

6) In 1975, the year this song was popular, former Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa disappeared, never to be seen again. Many theories flourish about what may have happened to him. Is there a famous criminal case that has a hold on your attention?  Can't think of one, though what DID happen to Jimmy?

7) Jaws was the most popular movie of 1975. Are you afraid of sharks?  Of course I'm afraid of sharks!! Aren't you?!

8) Actress Angelina Jolie was born in 1975. People magazine once named her "most beautiful." Who is the most beautiful woman you can think of?  My mom. 

9) Random question: A wizard offers you a choice -- would you like your life to stay as it is right now (in terms of your health, your career, your relationships and your finances) for the next 5 years, or would you like to take a chance that the future will be brighter?  I'll take my chances on what God has in store for me rather than trust a wizard.

 

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!


Thanks to Crazy Sam for another fun Saturday 9!!  Thanks for your visit!! Peace & hugs!!

  2. Isn’t there a song from this era that goes, “Get up...Get down...get up...get down...”? Maybe it was this one. It always struck me as funny...and a little exhausting.

  4. My husband often talks in his sleep, responding to (not necessarily making sense with) conversations going on around him. He always has and his siblings used to have fun with that when they were kids. It's a well known family story that they got him to confess to killing Hoffa...he didn't spill the beans on where he buried him, though. LOL

  5. I appreciate your response regarding the wizard. More people need to take seriously what God has to offer them and stop playing around with then occult in any and all forms.

    I hope you get everything on your To Do List done! My looks similar to yours!

    Hugs to you!

  11. Good answers, Teri and especially numbers 8 and 9. Too much emphasis on outward appearance which none of us have anything to do with anyway. My mom always said beauty is as beauty does. No wizards for me either!
