Saturday 9

 

Man I Need

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: Man I Need (2025)

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

 

1) In this song, Olivia Dean is looking for a man who wants to really communicate and doesn't make her "read between the lines." Tell us about a time when you felt you had to work hard to figure out what someone was trying to tell you.

Literally or figuratively?

I’m adapting to a new job and it’s exhausting. I was so tired one night that I literally couldn’t understand what Drew was asking me.

 

2) She's eager to meet his best friend and join their friend group. Have you made any new friends recently?

I just started a new job and have met many new people.   Can’t really call them friends yet, but we do get along well.

 

3) "Man I Need" was a hit in the fall of 2025. It was so popular that, in addition to CDs, a special vinyl release was scheduled in time for Christmas (2025) gift giving. How do you listen to music most often? Do you play CDs, download, stream, or play vinyl records?

My iPad is my constant companion, so yeah, I stream my music.

 

4) Olivia Dean recalls that her first public performance was singing at a school talent show. If we had a Sat 9 talent show, what would you do to entertain us?

Probably recite a monologue.  Something I learned in one of the acting classes I took in college. 

 

5) She says she loved listening to her parents' music collection. How about you? Did you and your parents share musical tastes? How about you and your kids?

We are a Broadway-loving family.  My parents had the cast album for almost every great musical. My kids love musicals, of course. 

 

6) Olivia likes to be dressed up when she gets onstage, favoring gowns and heels. She says of her audiences, "If you guys paid good money that you worked hard for, let me give you a show." How do you feel when you're invited to an event that calls for you to dress up? Are you enthusiastic about choosing your outfit, or would you rather keep it casual?

I don’t get many occasions to dress up, but when I do … it’s fun.

I clean up nice,I think ….

 
7) She enjoys classic film and lists Singin' in the Rain as her favorite. What's the last movie you watched? Do you recommend it to other Sat 9ers?

One Battle After Another.  Weird movie, I’m still trying to figure out why the Golden Globes considered it a comedy.  It’s quirky but not funny. We liked it.

 

8) In 2025, when this song was popular, the average price tag for a new vehicle was $47,690 and $25,100 for a used one. Are you planning to make a big purchase in 2026?   

Probably not.

9) Random question: Are you better with love or money?

Oh don’t ask me that …I’m not really good at either.

 

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts.
