My Baby Just Cares for Me

This is a busy week for our family celebrating birthdays and getting holidays ready.

Saturday 9: My Baby Just Cares for Me (2016)

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

1) Michael Bublé sings that his lover doesn't care much about the theater or new clothes. Which have you done more recently -- attended a play or movie or added to your wardrobe?

None of the three. But we are going to see the movie Wicked.

2) This song was first performed in 1930, 45 years before Buble was born. What pop song do you love that is far older than you are?

Isn't it Romantic, especially the Mel Torme version. It really puts me in a romantic mood.   I like most of what Mel Torme has sung.

3) The video for this song features a spinning vinyl record. Do you still have a turntable?

Yes I do.  I plan on making it a centerpiece in my living room.

4) Michael is currently appearing on The Voice. Are you watching this season?

No.  Those kinds of programs don't interest me much and I really rarely watch TV at all.

5) Of all his albums, Michael Buble's Christmas CD is his top seller. Now that we're in the month of November it's time for you to weigh in: When do you think it's appropriate to start playing holiday songs?

Any time you want to play them. If you like them, why not?

6) He unwinds by fishing, and he's very good at it. Fishing is a sport that requires lots of gear. Is there anyone in your life that has a hobby or passion that makes them easy to shop for?

Yes, the kids. Cooking things for the Little and Harry Potter, yarn , clothing for the Famous Anonymous.

7) Michael is a good cook and enjoys whipping up spaghetti Bolognese. What's on the menu at your home this week.. Well  same as most weekends,  Cholent  (a brisket with beans, potatoes, barley, eggs, etc.) 

8) In 2016, when Michael Buble released this song, the United States Postal Service posthumously honored child star Shirley Temple with a postage stamp. Decades after leaving Hollywood, she served as US Ambassador to Ghana. Could you find Ghana on a map or globe?

Yes I can.

9) Random question -- You neglected that soft drink and now it's gone flat. Do you drink it anyway or dump it down the drain?

I dump it down the drain. Flat soda.. Yuk. No thank you.

I will be around to comment after Saturday night.
