Roses Are Red + BOTB Results

Posted on February 9, 2025
Awww Mondays

How’s everyone doing? All is well here. In fact, all is great.  I’m feeling accomplished after last week’s productive week. I posted nearly every day and while this probably won’t happen too often, it felt good.  Another thing is I’m using my elliptical, now this is something I want to do often.  An active life is a healthy one!

Anywho, I’m so glad y’all stopped by. Before we get to boogieing on the dance floor, I need to pass on how things went down in my From Me to You BOTB.  The vote was tight. That’s always a positive thing that I’m doing something right. The battle ended in a tie thus no winner declared. To recap how everyone voted. 

Earl – Debbie, John, Sandee, Eugi, Birgit, Stephen

Jerry – Lee, Terry, Mimi, Diedre, Ed, Me

Thanks to everyone who played along. My next battle is scheduled for March 1st, so mark your calendar. 

Now moving onto the dance floor, welcome to Monday’s Music Moves Me on Sundays!  This week’s theme is Valentine’s Day songs or red themed tunes! 

I decided to look for red song titles. I know what you’re thinking when you read my post title, “Oh know she’s gotta twany country tune!” You’ll be happy to know that’s not the case.  In fact, I stumbled on an oldie from the 80s that flew right past me back in the day. 

Roses Are Red by Mac Band featuring The McCampbell Brothers released Jun 10, 1988. The song is from the groups’ debut album and is the most successful of their six singles, peaking #6 on the Billboard Hot Black Singles and while it didn’t make it on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, it made it on the UK Singles chart at #8.

In my defense, I was two weeks from motherhood and am tributing Mommy Brain to the reason why this song is new to me.  Whatever the cause for it not making it to my ears, I really loved the sound!

 

Music themes are only suggestions.  I don’t care one what kind of music it is, as long as you share music. Now, it’s your turn!

This is a music link up.  Your post must contain at least one song or your URL is marked “No Music”.

DH bought this adorable Precious Moments figurine by Jonathan David called “Love One Another” from 1978 in one of the area vintage shops in 2023. Our courtship began in 1976 and we married in 1979. This so perfect to symbolize our long relationship.

Valentine’s Day is within sight. I’m unsure what I’ll do just, but it might involve baking DH something.  I figure I can’t go wrong with a sweet treat for my sweetheart.  That’s a wrap this time. Have a boogietastic week!

    CAThy ~

    Personally, I hate when I have BOTB ties. I always feel like it was a waste of time. (Imagine buying expensive tickets to a Super Bowl and the game somehow ended in a tie.) BUT!… there’s no denying that a BOTB tie is indicative of (really) a perfect match-up conceived by the BOTBer! So, congratulations on your perfection, CAThy!

    See ya soon.

    I didn’t know the roses song either, but I don’t listen to that kind of stuff as a rule. Never even heard of the group. Oh well, no big loss.

    I’m feeling lousy today. Didn’t even go to church this morning because I didn’t want to be sniffling and coughing.

    Good outcome for your Battle. Close like my own.

    If it’s a tie, it was probably a good match-up, at least it seems that way. Thanks for the fun music!

    I didn’t have Mommy Brain, and I don’t remember the song, either. Good to be introduced to it now. I liked the late 80’s sound of this song. Alana ramblinwitham

      Overall I prefer the late 80s sound from that era. Some great music came out of it!
