Where did that weekend go??!
Hey ho, here we go again - and, as it's the lovely Miss Dee Dee Sharp's birthday today (79), it's up to her (and Chubby) to provide the wake-up call on this Tacky Music Monday!
I'm knackered now, just watching it!
Have a good week, dear reader.
Edna:
ReplyDeleteWill you turn that racket down? I'm trying to iron here.
Tracy:
Ma, its not racket, its the Corny Collins Show!
Love it !
Corny Collins:
Delete"All right. Here's l.Q. Jones and Lou Ann Levorowski leading our next dance, Give Me Gravy On My Mashed Potatoes..."
...which was Dee Dee Sharp's biggest hit! Jx
Oh, Dee Dee Sharp had a voice like honey. This video is SO telling. How about the white family observing from the booth? Could they have shown a bit more interest in the music.
ReplyDelete"Do you relate to the music of Leslie Gore?"
Delete"Look, she ain't no James Brown, but I can dance to Lawrence Welk if I have to!"
That family look like they would have preferred Lawrence Welk. Jx
I have to pinch myself this morning. I couldn't believe it was Monday again already.
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling so well... Jx
DeleteIs it Monday? Being a retired, demure, bitch, I sometimes forget, sweetpea! *smirking* But what's even more telling about me is that I remember watching Chubby Checker on TV and doing the twist in my living room! (Yes, I am feeling rather old this afternoon.) xoxo
ReplyDelete"Oh Mother, you're so '50s!"
DeleteJx
"Hairspray" I love it, but I'm NOT that old! ;) xoxo
Delete"Don't forget, l was Miss Soft Crab in 1945 and that title wasn't handed to me on a silver platter. l worked for it!" Jx
DeleteBloody hell! Slow twisting would be my limit these days! But, since you are all dying to know...I won a pair of stockings in a limbo contest. And later the same night the compere thought he'd run another Limbo...with the bar set at my winning level.Yes, I won again. (But had to undo my bra this time!)
ReplyDeleteYou bendy person, you!
DeleteI hope you washed those stockings in Ivory Snow... Jx
My maid of all work wants to know if Hefty Hideaways are having a sale.
ReplyDelete"Fatty, fatty, two by four. Can't get through the dressing room door?
DeleteHi, l'm Mr. Pinky, owner of the Hefty Hideaway, 3311 Eastern Avenue.
Are you big-boned, got a glandular problem, but you still want the glamour?
Don't worry about it. The Hefty Hideaway has got it all.

You heard me right.
