[VodkaBhoy1]

Fantastic song :)

[noproblem53]

a flawed genious-so sad so very very sad

[adulttoymaker1]

love the record, HATE HIM for what he has done in recent times, however SHAG & 53rd & 3rd were two of his best at the time......

[glenscott1]

An underated song by an underated performer, there should be more like this

[buddyeagle]

I believe the orginal version was by SIDNEY HARRISON.

[BRICASS8]

Juan Bastos did the original based on a greek fishermans song

[sassii2909]

well done jonathan

[ibisbill2]

The follow-up single "Vulture Stomp" was even better!!

[Nige1065]

[torquesport]

@Nige1065 I've heard it's on Youtube.

[kernowdel]

Ha ha. 1.13. he sings lets go to bed but bed has been hushed up. A sign of the 70s I suppose. I do remember all the kids in school loved this track.

[Cazzandrablue]

[scorpiofootiemad]

Stayed in the charts for 13 weeks at the back end of 1972,reached #4 at its peak week of Nov 18 1972.

[lezzliea]

[alanvking]

Shag is also a sea bird and a carpet description, plus tobacco.

Hallo zusammen, es ist wirklich spannend wieviele sich an diesem Song versucht haben... Deutsch gibt es sie ja auch...

[agc1912]

I have this on 7" vinyl.  Brilliant.

[sindbad41]

endlich habe ich das lied,hab es ewig gesucht,danke

[juppM91]

Dann hättest Du es schon vorher mal unter J Bastos versuchen müssen... Aber mir ging es wie Dir. In meiner Heimat war dieser Song immer der "Saalräumer"....

[tipsheet2008]

Oh yes it was Perra; very much a slang word for sexual intercourse, which was why I loved the fact that the BBC were saying it and playing it ten times a day when it went top five!

[Thewizard22uk]

I remember one radio DJ on Radio 1 saying it was Number One for 2 years in one country and also SHAG stood for *Someone's having a Gag*

(Meant I think Jonothan was having the gag with people singing totally differently using electronics or something on those lines.

[Perranporth]

Was "Shag" considered rude back then? I thought it was a type of dance or a hairstyle.

[chrisbean247]

I was given this record - a treasured posession!!

[olemuckspreader]

I bought this record!!
