Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this song, Dinah Shore admits that her impetuous romances don't work out. Do you consider yourself impulsive?
A. Not particularly, but I can be.
2) The songwriting team of Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne composed this in a single evening. Since the song is rather short Sammy considered adding another verse, but Jule thought better of it, saying, "No. That's it." Are you more like Sammy and keep revising, tinkering and tweaking? Or, like Jule, do you find it easy to leave well enough alone?
A. I tend to revise and tweak, but eventually leave it alone.
3) The song was introduced in Anchors Aweigh, a movie about two sailors who find love during a two-day leave in New York. Have you ever enjoyed a romance while on holiday?
A. I have enjoyed romance with my husband while on a holiday.
4) Though Frank Sinatra sang the song in the movie, Dinah's version was also popular. Her record sales in the 1940s were boosted by concerts, radio appearances and performances for the troops. What singer who is no longer with us do you wish you could have seen in concert?
A. Janis Joplin.
5) Dinah was shy with new people but discovered as a high school cheerleader that she was good in front of a crowd. Give us one of your high school cheers.
A. We're Cavalier born and Cavalier bred and when we die we'll be Cavaliers yet!
6) She loved golf and was so good at it, she became the first woman admitted as a member to the prestigious Hillcrest Country Club in Los Angeles. What's your best sport?
A. I don't have a best sport. I am bad at all of them.
7) Dinah found her greatest success in television. She was so popular for so long that she was able to afford a luxury home, built to her specifications, in Palm Springs. Leonardo DiCaprio now owns it. Do you know who lived in your home before you moved in?
A. We built our home and have been its only occupants.
8) In 1945, when this song was popular, Abbott and Costello appeared in the movie The Naughty Nineties, which featured their famous "Who's On First" routine. Do you know it?
A. I am familiar with it but I can't repeat it verbatim.
9) Random question – Fill in the blank: After all these years, I still ____________.
A. am not a dinosaur.
