UPDATE: Nightfly nails a whole passel of 'em. SECOND UPDATE: Okay, adding in the rest of the answers. Seriously, folks, if you're not familiar with the songs look them up. I think you will be delighted too.
Yeah, I'm a bad person. But Daughter Number One is home for spring break this week. She's visiting the local schools and observing teachers, and (I think) having a good time at it.
Anyway, I'm home today because I needed to go to the doctor for the fucking sinuses. Bleh. Bad shit.
But DNO came home from observing a teacher at a local high school and I happened to have put on a Fifth Dimension album on the stereo. We conversed about what songs we particularly liked, then I searched out my SAINTED MARILYN MCOO post and was appalled at how many of the questions had gone unanswered.
And since I know that some folks have only recently become regular readers, they probably missed the original posting.
And since my brain and sinuses are totally messed up from clogging and new drugs I picked up today, I have nothing new.
Except for being just barely cognizant to know that (a) I've done this one before, and (b) it's the middle of the week unlike on the weekends when I usually post new quizzes.
Um, wow. That was totally serial, being more of a sentence fragment than a whole sentence. Cool. Because I'm on great drugs. And beer. And I don't care. Except the drugs haven't yet cleared out my frickin' sinuses. Yet. My sinuses can totally FTFO. Maybe the Jack Daniels will help.
But in lieu of actually having functioning sinuses and brains, here is another (identical) tribute to the Sainted Marilyn McCoo, completely ripped off from my previous post to which I will not link because that would be cheating. So I hear. And I expect you to not look it up for cheats. Not that I would know if you lied about it.
Anyway, my sweet Marilyn McCoo, I love you forever. Please sing it, darling.
And perhaps I will review this tomorrow, sober and before the major drugs kick in, and add or (possibly) reword some questions that are, er, unintelligible in my current drug-addled state. In any case, here are some Sainted Marilyn questions:
1) I lay awake and watched until when? [Nightfly: Until the morning light washed away the darkness of the lonely night]
2) The world's a nicer place where? [Laura: In my beautiful balloon, and it wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon, too]
3) Will there come a time when I grow tired of you? [Nightfly: Never, my love; and yes, the Association also sang this one]
4) If you can surrey (and really, who can't?) where are you going? [Nightfly: To the Stone Soul Picnic]
5) Each time the doorbell rings, what do I do? [Lisa: I still run]
6) Together let's do what? [Answer: Together let's find love]
7) Four leaves on a clover, I'm just a bit what? [Answer: I'm just a bit of a shade nungover]
8) Where can we sing a song and sail along? [Nightfly: Giving him a mulligan on this one; the exact lyric is sail along the silver sky]
9) I heard your number ringing and what happened? [Answer: I went cold inside]
10) Please don't tell my mother I'm what? [Answer: I'm a saloon and moonshine lover]
11) One less egg to fry and what do I do? [Nightfly: All I do is cry]
12) In your voice I hear what? [Nightfly: A choir of carousels]
13) I was the one who came running when? [Nightfly: When you were lonely]
14) Gonna do what to that devil? [Answer: Gonna lay that devil down]
15) Love runs deep like what?
16) Why couldn't I close my eyes? [Nightfly: Because you were on my mind]
17) Suspended where? [Answer: Suspended under the twilight canopy]
18) Where will we chase your dream? [Answer: If you hold my hand, we'll chase your dream across the sky]
19) Don't let Daddy hear it. Why not? [Answer: Because he don't believe in the gin mill spirit]
20) If devotion rules my heart, I do what (or not)? [Nightfly: I take no bows]
1 - the morning light
3 - never, my love (but wasn't this the Association?)
4 - to the stone soul picnic
8 - up in the sky (because we're in a beautiful balloon)
11 - cry
12 - a choir of carousels
13 - when you were lonely
16 - because you were on my mind
20 - take no bows
I did hog some of these, but I almost never get to a quiz in time, so I'm going for it. I'm also air guitaring the bass line from "Let the Sun Shine In," because it is awesome.

5. I still run.
Posted by: Lisa at April 9, 2008 07:55 AMNightfly took the few I knew (and then some). Nice job, 'Fly!
Posted by: Maggie May at April 9, 2008 10:02 AM2 - In my beautiful balloon? It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon? Or did I just make that up? I'm tired.
Posted by: Laura(southernxyl) at April 9, 2008 05:29 PMYou may be tired, but that's absolutely correct!
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at April 9, 2008 06:00 PMMarilyn McCoo also was the host of "Solid Gold," right?
Posted by: Kate P at April 9, 2008 08:55 PMThat's right, I believe. She and Billy Davis had one or two records after Fifth Dimension also.
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at April 10, 2008 05:51 AMIt was probably a really cheesy show, but I was a little kid and I loved it.
Posted by: Kate P at April 10, 2008 07:05 AMKate,
That's totally what I was thinking. "Solid Gold" was the only thing I knew her from. It was cheesy. It was stupid and corny and absurdly polished...and I loved it, too.
I never watched it and only vaguely absorbed the info that she was host. But now that I look it up, they had an impressive and very diverse list of guest hosts.
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at April 10, 2008 08:15 AMWere they guest hosts, or guest judges? I can't remember if there were performances or judges on the show (I could be mixing this up with Dance Fever for all I know).
Posted by: Kate P at April 10, 2008 01:41 PMNo idea, I don't know the format of the show. I don't see "judge" listed and I think I just assumed guest host. Perhaps just guest is right.
I was amazed at the diversity of the guests, though. I thought it was primarily a disco show but maybe it was more of a variety show?
