Not so long ago in a distant land ,not too far away from our own galaxy,boys were girls and girls were boys and they all had platform shoes and wore silver and glitter clothing,it was time for ziggy stardust to come to earth and live among us...............
One of the great songs from my teenage years. We had a jukebox in our cafeteria at school and everyday, the teaching staff was treated to countless hours of Sweet / Ballroom Blitz, and KISS / Rock 'n Roll All Nite. Drove them nuts.
i was born in 94 and my dad would always play sweet for us..with all this new music now adays i forgot about these guys..they r on the top of my list as of now though :)
autentico años 70. en la discoteca El Cortijo de Blanes (GIRONA).Buenisimos recuerdos para todos los chicos que hoy no estan por culpa de lo que todos sabemos.Tiempos muy buenos y recuerdos agradables pero amargos a la vez.Una làstima.Pero muy feliz de poder volver a escucharla,
how true i was at teenager in glasgow slade started as skinheads ah think,but slade,e music "wiz gallus" a Glasgow term that means cool , not frightend of anything and bold
@NOVATICANWARS Gallus covers it pretty well. Everybody used to have a a tartan bit sewn into the back panel of Levi jackets too untill the rollers nicked the idea and put the boys off. Wild times.
@Shaneesi man im 13 and i hate the 2000s they suck watching movies like Dazed and Confused really paint a picture i gues i love everything about the 70's the cars the music the cloths everything man if you evr make a time machine tell me hahha
@Nicholsable I was there and it was shit...the only good thing was that there was more freedom and no cctvs...sexism,racism, homophobia, it was shit i tell you!!!
@Nicholsable I grew up in the 90's but I grew up listening to music like this, i think it doesn't matter when you grew up... The only thing you're missing by not having been alive in the 70's is that you're not really old now. If you want a 70's car you can get it for cheap, the music is free on youtube, and the clothes are cheap in the charity shops... knock yourself out :)
Originallity is the name of the game back in the 70s. If I wasn't told this music was done 40 years ago I'd thought this was a new hit. Awesom music!!
Back then we really did go dancing in ballrooms...Friday and Saturday nights, revoling stage, 2 live show-bands, 6 bars....dressed to the nines...oh yeah, we knew how to party in the 70s!!!!
Hahaha for some reason I dont think of ''Wayne's World'' when I hear this song...To me what I hear is something that would more fitting for ''The Rocky Horror Picture Show" haha It's a groovy song!
god, they were great times, mass fights in the school disco every friday night when this track or a slade track came on, bottles of v.p wine smuggled under the coat , thinking you were big if you had a packet of 10 nos 10s to smoke & if you were really lucky a quick fumble off one of the birds you fancied, great great times.
@margatela I wish I knew then what I know now , I would not be working 12 hour shifts for peanuts, I would have been selling drugs if they had been around then & making loads of money & spending it on a better class of women & wine, no not really I loved every minute of those times & I would not change a thing,great great memories, I just feel sorry for todays kids not knowing the real fun & great tunes our generation had & not having a care in the world at the time, now I' ve turned into my dad
HE IS SADLY MISSED, I KNEW JHIM WHEN HE WAS GROWING UP IN GLASGOW ALL THOSE YEARS AGO, WE DID KEEP IN TOUCH, BUT IN SAYING THAT HE DID CONTACT ME A FEW TIMES OVERE THE YEARS EVEN AT THE HEIGHT OF THEIR FAME, AND I MET THE REST OF THE BAND MANY MANY TIMES, ON AND OFF STAGE, EVEN AT BIRTHDAYS AND NIGHTS OUT.
MISS YOU MY DEAR FRIEND BRIAN.. RIP MATE. MISS YOU ,,ALAN 18-10-10

The Sweet has touched me in their 72-75 period. I will never forget my air-drumming moments . Gay? No way. Glamour? Yes, in their appearances. Controlled ? Yes, by Chinn-Chapmann. No matter what, I like them for what they once were, they were there at the right time and right place. In my life. Slade, Garry Glitter, Susie Quatro, Mud, Osmond Brothers, you name it. Sweet is NOT Mozart, nor Miles Davis, nor Joe Satrinai. What the heck? They MOVED my world as a teenager.
where are you now Brian and Mick! save us from the shite boring crap created X factor music of today.. come back.. if only you could.. god bless anyway and thanks for my exciting teenage years..
@leprachaun745 my dad is the same age as u, and hes always telling me about his days is the 70s, 80s and other times, im 13 and ive always wanted to be born back in the old days, ur a lucky shit.
@leprachaun745 I agree with you I had my teenage years with The Sweet was so in love with Brian and Mick oh heck all of them but I was a young girl... :) was a good time to be young....
omg i love this band and the 70's even though i was born in 1900's it annoying what crap some artists make now adays i wish rock came back and people acted like they did in the 70's
these guys are ace make oasis look like wankers
