The Tuesday Song of the Week

 An Eighties classic...

                                          'The Ghost in You' - Psychedelic Furs

I didn't know this but several artists have done covers of this song.  

The Star Made Me Buy It

This is our fourth ad with Dorothy Lamour, but our first ad with her in color:

Here she's selling Royal Crown Cola.

                                                       That's some hair-do.

The ad mentions her latest film, Beyond the Blue Horizon, which came out in 1942. 

The only movie I've seen her in - I'm pretty sure - is Donovan's Reef, which is corny to the max, but there a couple of fun scenes.  Plus it has Cesar Romero, who is ALWAYS fun to watch.

Found this GREAT image on an piece about Childe Hassam.  The painting on the wall, which has the American flag is a Childe Hassam painting. 

The other part of the pic is Barak Obama.  This photo was taken about 8 days after he became president.   

He's sitting at the Resolute desk.  

I thought calling a desk 'The Resolute desk' was some tired Republican idea.  

Turns out that the desk was made from the oak timbers of the HMS Resolute, a ship that had been used in Arctic exploration.  The desk was a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes, back in 1880.  

Fun fact: One of my grandfathers was born eight years later.   

Tickets, Please

Above is my ticket from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

I also saw the first Star Trek movie, i.e Star Trek:The Motion Picture, and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and maybe the third one.

                                           .  That time that Kirk yells at Khan:

At the time, one of my friends, who was very hilarious, and at the time working as a waiter, screamed the same way Kirk did, with a twist, i.e.

"KHAN !!!!! Your order's up!!" 

To this day, that makes me laugh.  

The Tuesday Song of the Week

A couple weeks ago this tune sat firmly in my head for four days.

Four total days.

96 hours.

It is...

                       

The Mr. Ed theme song

 

Wanna know how they made Mr. Ed's mouth move?  

 

They gave him peanut butter. 

The Star Made Me Buy It

 This is our third TSMMBI featuring Joan Crawford.

Here she's selling Camels cigarettes:

It won't irritate your throat, but it will give you throat cancer. Clear distinction.
