You’re very welcome, VJ. I love that song, too. Oh, yes, I meant to tell you that I loved that version of “Pennies from Heaven” the other day. It made me jump up and start dancing like Julie lol!
cool, Rhonda. Here’s a funny story about “Beyond the Sea” — I was playing my records in the kitchen when my oldest daughter was sleeping on the sofa one afternoon. When she woke up, she asked me if I had been playing “Beyond the Sea.” She said she had a crazy dream where her brother pulled up in front of the house and it was playing on his car radio and everyone on the block came out and surrounded his car and was singing along and waving their arms back and forth with the music. 🤣🤣
What a fun dream she had, VJ!
Fun Fact: This episode was taped on Eric Newhouse’s 29th Birthday. What a great day for him.
What an exciting duel to watch! And Leslie still smiled.
@Cece, I was a little upset that no one knew who sang “Beyond the Sea” – one of my all-time favorite songs, the rewritten version of Trenet’s “La Mer” 😢
I thought of you then, VJ.
Thanks for remembering, Rhonda. He’s one of my top favorite singers. Of course, I had to play the song but it didn’t make Julie jump up and start dancing like Louis Prima’s “Pennies from Heaven” the other day 😲
VJ, I must confess I didn’t get it either, lol—I can never remember his name. But Trenet is a household name over here. The bf’s Mère plays him constantly.
I thought the Shakespeare’s clues were a little hard, but the players rose to the occasion.
@Cece, yes, they were right on top of those Shakespeare clues. Well, “Mack the Knife” is Bobby’s signature song, not “Beyond the Sea”
Tell your bf’s Mère that I love Trenet, too. Boum! (I wonder if Matt Jackson loves him 🤣🤣 )
“Boum!……”—hahaha.
The boys are quick on the buzzer and Leslie just couldn’t catch up to them. But Still a good competition here. Eric seems to have strong knowledge here.
Bob, Leslie S., and Eric each have $20,000 at the end of Final Jeopardy!.
Oh, boy. The guys made it really tough for Leslie.
