Beyond the Sea
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: Beyond the Sea (1959)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This song mentions golden sands. When do you think you'll next visit the beach?
Not soon enough.

Not soon enough.
2) Shortly after "Beyond the Sea" hit
the charts, Bobby Darin met and married movie sweetheart Sandra Dee.
Her squeaky-clean image is spoofed in the song, "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee," from Grease. Can you name another song from Grease?
That Hair Dresser song. Really, no.
3) Years earlier, Bobby had an ill-fated romance with singer Connie Francis. According to Ms. Francis, Darin wanted to marry her, but her father forbade it. Have you ever had a relationship that your parents disapproved of?
2. Married both of them
4) Bobby was a Renaissance man:
Grammy-winning singer, Oscar-nominated actor, Rock and Roll Hall of
Famer and an excellent chess player. Are you good at chess?
nooooo
5) A car buff, he drove a 1960 custom
car that was so unique and spectacular it's now in a Detroit museum. The
bright red paint was mixed with ground diamonds to ensure that it
sparkled in the sun. Each of the four bucket seats had its own ac/heat
control and radio speaker. The steering wheel was slightly squared for
easier handling. What features would your dream car have?
One that had no payments. Thats why I have been holding out til after the legalities of the condo in NV straighten out, to purchase a new vehicle.
No. I'd like someone younger and sultry ;)
7) When he was just 8 years old, Bobby
Darin was stricken with rheumatic fever, and the disease left him with a
dangerously weakened heart. Did you spend much time in the hospital
when you were a kid?
8) In 1959, when "Beyond the Sea" was popular, Alaska became our 49th state. What comes to mind when you think of Alaska?
Mountains, Moose and Northern Exposure!
9) In 1959, Conair introduced the first hair dryer developed for home use. Is there a hair dryer in your bathroom right now?
One in each bathroom.
I like the idea of no payments too. Why pay twice as much as you should in the end?
