It just gets a bit above the temp I like, and I'm a puddle. Any exertion, same.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-34316560051222258172022-07-27T12:35:53.694-04:002022-07-27T12:35:53.694-04:00Yes, thank goodness for A/C, although I often go o...Yes, thank goodness for A/C, although I often go outside to warm up. ☺ You and I are opposites when it comes to weather, but both are health-related. C'est la vie! Love your song choices and I remember Georgia Engel's performance well. So unlike her shy character!Debbie D. https://www.blogger.com/profile/13153118405565035071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-64227127055267292122022-07-27T12:07:58.784-04:002022-07-27T12:07:58.784-04:00I've heard of the first two songs, but the thi...I've heard of the first two songs, but the third one was new to me.

I'm back from hiatus and back in ...Hi, Birgit!<br /><br />I'm back from hiatus and back in the blogging game, dear friend. It's great to see you again. I hope you are fully recovered now after chug-a-lugging 50 gallons of Janitor in a Drum and becoming ill in a failed attempt to prep for the Roto-Rooter man.<br /><br />It was delightful to see and hear a young Ethel Merman fronting an orchestra and performing a familiar song from my youth, "We're Having a Heat Wave, a Tropical Heat Wave." Ethel was a lithe looker in the 30s, but intimidating as a Sherman Tank in 1963 when she played the hell on wheels mother-in-law in It's a Mad, Mad World.<br /><br />I remember the musical Kiss Me Kate, but never saw it and don't remember the song "Too Darn Hot" by Ella Fitzgerald. However, I enjoyed it.<br /><br />I also well remember The Pajama Game and (believe it or nuts) saw the 1957 film version as a boy. I believe it is the movie that ignited my interest in Doris Day and led me to become somewhat of a Doris "completist,' having seen just about all of her pictures by now plus her TV series. It was a pleasure to see Georgia Engel break character and deliver an authentic performance of "Steam Heat" on MTM. As you might know, Georgia took ill and died in 2019 at the too young age of 70.<br /><br />My hot song Picks to Click include the Billy Idol biggie "Hot In The City" and two Shady Dell jukebox hits: "Summer In The City" by The Lovin' Spoonful, and the body heat song "98.6" by Keith.<br /><br />Thanks for the morning music, dear friend BB. I'll be waiting for you tamale in the balcony-- "At The Movies!" Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887100141814372022noreply@blogger.com
