… put a record on, I wanna dance with my baby! Germany joins the heat! Babes, it´s so freakin´ hot in herre… our A/C and even the huge Honeywell ventilator do overtime… nonetheless the icecubes are melting in my iced coffee. Our Mini Cooper Convertible is waiting to take us for a topless roadtrip. Beating the heat… Hoping in the car, blasting your favorite music, is probably one of the nicest feelings in the world. It sure is for me. All I need is Frank, a picnic basket and some good music, like…

LilSanni likes it HOT - besides my addiction to coffee I suffer from a concentrated passion for different styles of music, mostly depending on my mood. But there are a few artists and bands I could always listen to - like

Jamiroquai
The band´s name is derived from the Native American Iroquois tribe, with which Kay has said he identifies philosophically, combined with ‘Jam’, as in musical jamming. Jamiroquai is a Grammy Award-winning English acid jazz band and was initially the most prominent component in the early-1990s London-based acid jazz movement Subsequent albums have explored other musical directions. The lineup of the band has changed several times, but the core member of the band is lead singer and songwriter Jason “Jay” Kay.
Since Jay Kay’s emergence from London’s acid jazz underworld in 1992, Jamiroquai has sold more than 20 million albums, racked up a Grammy and five MTV Awards, recorded a handful of top ten hits, toured the planet several times over and garnered international acclaim.

Jamiroquai’s impact on both music and pop culture continues to grow, as evidenced by the recent inclusion of 1999’s No. 1 dance hit, “Canned Heat,” in the mega-popular cult hit, Napoleon Dynamite. The scene in which the film’s star, Jon Heder, dances to the song recently won an MTV Movie Award for “Best Action Sequence.”

“Canned Heat” is definitely on my all-time favorite “ragtop songs” list. I often find myself beating the heat, driving our Mini Cooper Convertible, bawling singing

Dance
Hey DJ let the music play
Let the music play
I’m gonna let this party live
I wanna let this party live
Hey DJ throw my cares away
Let the music play
I’m gonna live this party live
Hey DJ let the music play
I’m gonna let this party live
Hey DJ throw my cares away
I’m gonna let this party live
Canned heat in my heels tonight You know, you know this boogie is for real
Got so much canned heat in my heels…

… or one of Jamiroquai´s other excellent songs.

And you? What do you do to beat the heat? I´m sure you´ll find a bunch of tips when you hop over to Mo, the hot founder of Manic Monday, who came up with the word “heat” for this week´s theme!

Off to serve up iced coffee for all my sweating fellow bloggers…
catch ya,

Sanni

And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:

Homer: Homer no function beer well without.

Thank you all so SO much for your lovely comments, emails, shout-outs, phone calls, greeting cards, presents and visits. I´m amazed how many wonderful people thought of me and celebrated my 33rd birthday with me. So please take this as a small sign of my love and appreciation to all of you:

It seems I´ve been a good girl - my birthday was a blast… and I´ve done my homework, too. The (little late) Wiki Birthdate MEME is brought to you by courtesy of the one and only Captain “Give me 5″ Lifecruiser:

Go to Wikipedia and search for your birthday. Pick 3 events, 2 births, and a death to share in your blog. Let your readers know why you chose these.

3 Events that occured on June 11th:
1184 BC - Trojan War: Troy was sacked and burned, according to the calculations of Eratosthenes. - LilSanni loved to read Greek myths when she was a little one, especially those ones dealing with love and romance.

1962 - Frank Morris, John Anglin and Clarence Anglin become the only prisoners to apparently successfully escape from the prison on Alcatraz Island. No conclusive evidence has ever been found that they survived the escape attempt. - Visiting San Francisco is one of my dreams. I´d like to visit Alcatraz Island when I´m there, especially after watching the movie “The Rock” about 107 times. Do you remember this movie? It used Alcatraz as the base of hostage situation, starring Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage, with Ed Harris as a renegade general controlling the location of the rockets and renegades?
“Vaporized… blown to the sea…”
Hope I´ll be allowed to leave “The Rock” in one piece ;)


1985 - A Fabergé Egg was sold for £1,375,00 in New York. - It´s obvious: I´m a huge Simpsons-Fan. Fabergé Eggs play an important role in some Simpsons episodes. Mr burns has about 12 Fabergé Eggs stashed away in a vault in his basement and Marge steals one to help raise money for charity, by hiding it in her trademark blue hair. ;)

2 Births on June 11th:
1879 - Max Schreck, German actor (d. 1936)
- Who could resist to inform the Blogosphere about being born on the same day as Nosferatu? Me? No way! *LOL*

1910 - Jacques-Yves Cousteau, French explorer and inventor (d. 1997)
- Just 2 words: SCUBA diving!


1 death on June 11th:
1979 - John Wayne (Born Marion Morrison), American actor (b. 1907)
- Oh… tripping down memory lane… When I was a little one I sometimes was allowed to watch a movie with my daddy. I so loved to watch a “Western” with John Wayne, sitting on the couch with my dad. R.I.P., Mr Wayne!

So… when´s your birthday?
Did you wiki your birthdate already? If not, feel free to play!

Thanks again for enlighting my birthday,
xoXOxo,

Sanni

And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:

Homer: How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?
