Saturday 9 with Monk...

It's a Jungle Out There

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: It's a Jungle Out There (Theme from Monk) (2003)

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

1) This week's song is the theme from the detective show that ran from 2002-2009. Were you a fan?  I can't say I was a fan, but I have seen a couple of episodes in re-runs.  I do like Tony Shalhoub.

2) The song warns us about the air we breathe and the water we drink. Does your home have an air or water filter?  Air filter, yes.  Water filter, no.

3) The lyrics say, "People say I'm crazy to worry all the time." Are you a worrier? Or do you just take things as they come?  I am not a worrier and do take things as they come. 

4) TV's Adrian Monk is known for his outstanding deductive powers, an homage to Sherlock Holmes. Have you read any of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's books featuring Sherlock Holmes?  I've not read the books but I have seen movies and TV shows featuring Sherlock Holmes.

5) Monk was also known for fastidiousness and precision, an homage to Hercule Poirot. Have you read any of Agatha Christie's books featuring Poirot?  Again, I have not read the books but have seen a few movies.

6) This song was written and performed by Grammy and Emmy winner Randy Newman. Do you have any trophies or plaques?  No trophies but I have had lots of plaques down through the years.

7) Before winning an Oscar in 2001, Mr. Newman had the distinction of having the most nominations (15) without a win. Do you consider yourself a graceful loser?  I have indeed become a graceful loser because I rarely win. I have very low expectations when I play games or buy lottery tickets. 

8) In 2003, when this song was introduced, Lance Armstrong won his fifth Tour de France. Later, he was disgraced in a doping scandal. Can you think of a time when a hero disappointed you?  Pete Rose disappointed me when he admitted to lying. I believed in him and was a big fan back in the day. I still think he belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

9) Random question -- We're catering lunch. Should we put you down for a burger or a taco?  A taco with extra sour cream, please... make that two!!
