      Saturday 9: Too Fat Polka

      April 1,2017

      Too Fat Polka

      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!



      Too Fat Polka (1947)


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


      1) Have you ever danced the polka?
       Yes, It's been a few years. The Campground we stay at in Gettysburg, PA always has a polka dance.

      2) The centerpiece of a traditional Polish polka band is the accordion. The accordion is a substantial instrument. Have you ever tried to play it?
      No
       
      3) The plump lady of this song cannot fit into the singer's car. How many passengers does your car comfortably seat?
      4 ~ 2 in front and 2 in the back seat. 3 in the back seat if they are kids or a small person

      4) Would you like to lose a few pounds?
      Yes, Though more than a few pounds
      5) In the long ago 1940s, this song was considered amusing. Do you think it's still funny today?
      I still think it's amusing

      6) Arthur Godfrey, who recorded this song, was a popular radio and TV host from the 1930s to the 1970s. Before this week's Saturday 9, had you ever heard of him?
      I don't think so

      7) One of his more popular radio shows was Talent Scouts. A 1940s-50s version of American Idol, this show gave previously unknown singers their first national exposure. Godfrey could point with pride to having helped discover Tony Bennett and Patsy Cline, but he made a mistake by rejecting Elvis Presley. Tell us about something you'd do differently if you could get a "do over."
      Nothing really, If anything it would not be so shy
       
      8) In 1953, Godfrey made news by having one of the nation's very first hip replacements. Have you ever been/would you be part of a clinical trial, either for a new drug or a new medical procedure?
      Nope
       
      9) RANDOM QUESTION: You and a friend are shopping. She tries on an expensive sweater and enthusiastically asks what you think. You think it looks awful. Do you tell her the truth?
      Yes, And I have

Virginity breeds mites, much like a cheese; consumes itself to the very paring, and so dies with feeding his own stomach.
