Coconut
Saturday 9: Coconut (1971)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
This month, Saturday 9 will be tasty, featuring songs with food in the title.
1) This song is about a woman who complains of a belly ache. How's your tummy this morning? My tummy is just fine!
2) She responds to this malady by calling the doctor. What if you chose to address the problem yourself? Are there currently any OTC digestive aids in your medicine chest? Yes. I have AlkaSeltzer chewies in the cupboard.
3) Coconut was once a popular ice cream flavor, but no more. It's not on the list of top sellers at Baskin Robbins or Cold Stone. When you last had ice cream, what flavor was it? Coffee flavor with macadamia nuts. Yum!
4) Coconut remains popular in baking. It's easy to find recipes for coconut pie, coconut cheesecake, coconut cookies ... you get the idea. Have you recently tried a new recipe? If yes, how did it turn out? No new recipes recently. I haven't been cooking much of anything this summer.
5) This week's featured artist, Harry Nilsson, was a well-known free spirit. He liked to party and had a reputation for not adhering to a schedule. Therefore, it's a little surprising that one of his first jobs was in the conservative atmosphere of a small bank. Do you prefer a more structured workplace? No. I enjoyed a more relaxed atmosphere in the workplace.
6) Harry met Micky Dolenz when The Monkees recorded his song, "Cuddly Toy," and they became fast and lifelong friends. Can you think of someone you met and quickly "clicked" with? My neighbors, Susan (and Chuck), Sandy (and Bob), and Dee (and Bill). Anne (and Paul) were here before we moved, but we clicked with them quickly, too! I am so blessed with wonderful neighbors!
7) In 1971, when this song was on the radio, detective shows were popular on TV. Mannix, Ironside, and Cannon were all in the Top 20. Do you think you'd make a good private investigator? I used to think I could be a Nancy Drew, but now... nope. I don't have the patience to be that meticulous in acquiring evidence before turning it in to make an arrest! LOL
8) England's Princess Anne teed 21 in 1971, and the occasion was commemorated with an official portrait taken by fashion photographer Norman Parkinson. Who took the most recent photo of you? The waitress at Glory Days on Thursday night.
9) Random question: You can redecorate any one room in your home; money is no object. But only one room. Which room do you pick? My living/dining room is one large room and the first room you see when you come in, so I'll choose it.
