It’s a brand new year, a brand new month, and I am this month’s honorary co-hostess on Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me. For our first theme of 2021 is Mewsic Trivia – give us some mewsic trivia about a particular song and then share it with us.
Here are my trivia questions in song order on my playlist
- Who penned the 1986 Bangles’ hit “Manic Monday”?
- Which double name band in 1985 gave us the song “Broken Wings”
- Which American Rock n’ Roll artists caused controversy when he married a very young teenager?
- What place is thought to be where the banjo originated?
- What is called the two or more than two melodies or pitches sounding at the same time?
- The Bangles #1 hit “Manic Monday” was written by the late Prince under the pseudonym “Christopher” and was originally intended for the group Apollonia 6 in 1984. According to Wiki, Prince gave the song to Bangles rhythm guitarist Susanna Hoffs, in hopes of winning her affection.
- American pop rock band, Mr. Mister, peaked #1 in the Billboard Hot 100 charts with “Broken Wings” that stirs sad feelings for some reason from my past. I’m not sure why but
- It blew my socks off to read that Jerry Lee Lewis that his 3rd wife was his 13 year old cousin. That sounds really crazy and it’s something most parents today would not allow but I think for that era it was a common thing not to mention many girls that young were often mentally prepared. Naturally it doesn’t change the fact they were still little girl. Their new roles forced them to grow up even faster than the times they lived in already placed on them. Loretta Lynn married at the age of 13.
- Early documentation (1678) revealed African slaves created banjo-like instruments from their part of Africa. The banjo became popular in the United States during the Revolutionary war and the rest is history. John Hartford on the banjo accompanies Glen Campbell in “Gentle On My Mind”.
- The answer is harmony. Harmonizing is one of my favorite sounds produced by artists. Eagles’ band members pitch perfect vocal blending in “Seven Bridges Road” is an excellent of the way harmonizing should sound. Check out these Top 10 music groups with the best harmonizes!

This is a mewsic linky party.

Failure to meet this basic guideline puts your URL in danger of being removed or labeled – NO MUSIC.
Ever since October my blogging life has been off key. I took three blogging hiatus to enjoy staycations with DH and it’s kind of gotten me off track. I don’t regret that one bit but planning and composing new content for CAAC suffered. This means I need to put things into warp drive to get future posts done so I won’t freak out. Yeah, I tend to do that sometimes. Okay, I will do my best to not stress but go with the flow. That sounds a bit like a new year resolution. Before I zip off, in case you missed it I put up my first BoTB for new year last Friday and I hope you’ll take a moment to cast your vote in my first 2021 showdown. That’s a wrap for now. Have a boogietastic week! X💋X💋, Cathy
