Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Here it here!
'Bubble-gum music', sure.
But it makes me happy! happy! happy!

The Cowsills were a family band who had three hit singles. Can you name another group of popular singing siblings?
How about a departure from the obvious?
Yep, the Lawrence Welk Show was 'appointment TV' in my parents home. In particular, I loved Dianne ('Dee-Dee').
Reading the Lennon Sisters' bio was certainly eye-opening!
❤
This was their first hit, and it reached #2 on the Billboard charts. It was kept out of the #1 slot by the Monkees and "Daydream Believer." What's your favorite Monkees song?
"Daydream Believer"!
Was -- and still is -- one of my favorite songs.
❤
After seeing the Cowsills brothers perform with their mother and sister, TV producers were inspired to create the sitcom, 'The Partridge Family.' Did you ever watch it?
Not on purpose. (LOL)
❤
In the song, the narrator takes a flower from a girl in the park. Are there flowers in your home right now?

Only the artificial variety
❤
He isn't sure if the girl was real, or if he dreamed her. Tell us about a recent dream you had.
I've been dreaming a lot recently! Several nights ago I dreamt I was running away from something/someone and woke up all matter of fact, saying "Being human is scary."
(Ya think!?)
❤
At the height of the Cowsills' popularity, they were hired by the American Dairy Association to promote drinking milk. If we were to peek into your refrigerator right now, would we find any milk?
Nope. Only Half-and-Half.
❤
After the band stopped performing together, John Cowsill went on to become a back-up musician for the Beach Boys. His job has kept him on the road much of the time. When you travel, do you enjoy staying in hotels, or would you rather stay with friends/family?
We're more or less obligated to stay with Tom's sister …. but anytime I'm given the chance I'd opt for a hotel. You know, if someone feels like getting up in the middle of the night to read -- or 'parks' himself in the bathroom for hours -- nobody's inconvenienced.
❤
In 1967, the year this song was popular, Elvis married Priscilla in Las Vegas. Have you attended any weddings yet this year? Are there any weddings in your future?
No, and none that I know of.
❤
Random question: Are the bottoms of your feet ticklish?
Not at all.
❤
T-t-that's all! Thanks for joining me for Crazy Sam's "silly meme on a Saturday." Enjoy your weekend and do what you can to stay safe!
Hugs, Myra
