Saturday 9

 

Livin' La Vida Loca

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: Livin' La Vida Loca (1999)

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

1) Ricky Martin sings that he and the girl dance in the rain. Do you feel like dancing this morning?

Yes, it's Saturday, I've got good plans for the weekend, and I feel like dancing.

2) The lyrics tell us the girl prefers champagne. When did you last enjoy a glass of the bubbly?

Champagne?  Probably New Year's Eve.  But I do like a glass of prosecco every now and then.  

 

3) When Ricky first heard "Livin' La Vida Loca," he imagined  the subject of the song was a "Bond girl," the glamorous love interest of James Bond in the movies. Since 1962, there have been more than 20 Bond films. Have you seen any/many of them? Do you have a favorite Bond?

Drew is a real Bond fan, so of course I've seen many of the films.  Roger Moore is my favorite Bond.  I loved him in Moonraker.

 
4) Ricky tells interviewers that when he was very young, he'd sing in the family kitchen, pretending a wooden spoon was his microphone. Crazy Sam admits to lip synching into a black Magic Marker. When you gave imaginary concerts, what did you use as a microphone?

You don't hold a mike on a Broadway stage, so I never used a fake mike.

5) Ricky began working at the tender age of 9, performing in commercials. How old were you when you received your first paycheck?

16.

6) Ricky does yoga to stay in shape. Have you ever tried yoga?

I used to do yoga,  then I got arthritis in my knees...Now I do gentle stretching instead.

7) Ricky is of primarily Spanish descent, with a little French mixed in. When you think of French cuisine, what comes to mind?

Fillet mignon, creme brulee...and Julia Child.

 

8) Ricky once had his own restaurant, Casa Salsa, in Miami Beach. Have you ever worked in food service?

No.

 

9) Random question: What is your best quality?

I'm skipping this one...

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. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!
