Rock 'n Roll Fridays

Three Dog Night

Hi I'm DJ KathyA! Welcome to Rock 'n Roll Fridays. We are like other memes in that we will ask you thirteen questions each and every Friday. But our little "twist" is that each week we will pick a singer, band, era or category and pick thirteen of their songs. Each of our questions will be based on the lyrics. Got it? Great! Let's begin this week's meme!

Today we picked Three Dog Night.

1. Black and White: “The world is black The world is white

It turns by day and then by night The child is black The child is white

Together they grow to see the light To see the light”

What are your favorite black and white items?  Oreos and Penguins

2. Joy To The World: “If I were the King of the world, Tell you what I'd do,

I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the wars

And make sweet love to you”

What would YOU do if you were King of the World?  First of all, I would be QUEEN of the world and second, I would eliminate hunger, war and poverty... somehow!

3. Easy To Be Hard: “How can people have no feelings, How can they ignore their friends

Easy to be proud, easy to say no”

Have you ever ignored a friend?  The only time I can think of is ignoring a call (during dinner or something) but returning the call later.

4. Old Fashioned Love Song: “Just an old-fashioned love song, One I'm sure they wrote for you and me, Just an old-fashioned love song, Comin' down in 3-part harmony”

What song do you think was written about you?  I don't think there is a song written for me.  My parents had a song picked out for me when I was a baby.  I'm not 100% sure but I think it was Sweet Life by Paul Davis.  "She's got your eyes, she's got my nose..." :)

5. Out In The Country: “Before the breathin' air is gone, Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime, Out where the rivers like to run, I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'”

When was the last time you took back something worth rememberin?  I'm not sure how to answer this one....

6. Family of Man: “Memories replacing the loves that we've lost, Burning our bridges as soon as they're crossed, Factories built where the rivers ran, And time running out for the family of man”

Since the nuclear plant tragedy in Japan, what alternate power source would you prefer?   I like the windmill way.  Why not use the wind as an alternate source?  I think it's a great way to go.

7. Shambala: “Everyone is helpful, everyone is kind, On the road to Shambala,

Everyone is lucky, everyone is so kind, On the road to Shambala”

Where have you been where everyone is overly friendly?  The local grocery store.  The last time I was there, every one was extremely nice.

8. Eli’s Comin: “Well you better hide your heart, your loving heart

Eli's a-comin' and the cards say... a broken heart”

What good advice did you ignore and then later regret?  I so should have listened when my mom told me to pay attention and work hard in school....and not get so boy crazy! :)

9. One: “It's just no good anymore since she went away, Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday”

Can you make up a rhyme?  Sure:  DJ Kathy A, does Rock 'n Roll Friday, I think it's really fun, so join in everyone :)  *I know, you're jealous of the awesome-ness that just flows from me :) LOL

10. Never Been To Spain: “Well I never been to heaven, But I been to Oklahoma

Well they tell me I was born there, But I really don't remember”

What is your earliest memory as a child/baby?  I remember a really scary dream I had about bugs when I was really little.

11. Mama Told Me Not To Come: “Just open the window brother, and let me catch my breath”

Where was the last really stinky place you were in?  My living room....sometimes our dog has horrible gas!

12. One Man Band: “Here I am, take my hand, I'm your man, Baby, let me be your one man band”

Do you play an instrument?  I used to play the trumpet and the flute :)

13. Liar: “You've taken my life, so take my soul, That's what you said and I believed it all

I want to be with you as long, As you want me to, I won't move away

Ain't that what you said?”

When was the last time you were lied to?  A few hours ago.  I asked my two year old if she was going to be a good girl and she said yes....she lied :)
