Love this song. It's been popping into my head every so often for the best part of a year... I don't quite know why but it's a wonderful piece. Also to 186lottie, I quite agree, he is rather lovely.
Time passes so quickly, Im 55 and i can remember Hot Chocolate on Top Of The Pops and me saying to my dad 'oh isnt he lovley dad' and my dad saying 'whats lovley about him' i used to love all their songs brings back lovley memories each time i hear any of their songs , they were lovley days , thanks for postin.
shame though when the memories bring tears of sad times ! Im 50 next year where did time go ! dont know his name but 1 member of the band plays the organ in church I went to last year !
Just to admit one mistake That can be hard to take I know we've made them fall But only fools come back for more Being the fool I am I figured in all your plans, darling Your perfumed letters didn't say That you'd be leaving any day So you win again, you win again Here I stand again, the loser And just for fun you took my love and run, But love had just begun I can't refuse her But now I know that I'm the fool Who won your love to lose it all When you come back, you win again
Always takes me back to being a kid hanging around outside the local pub ( not dangerous to do in them days) in what always seemed to be hot summer afternoons. The juke box playing inside the pub & always seemed to be playing this song, sneaking a look inside whenever anybody came out or went in. Full of happy characters laughing & joking, while us kids where happy outside with a glass of lemonade every now & again. Happy Happy days ;.)
Wow, this song is like instant funk. I love that muffled bass and those rich background vocals...and the hot chocolate is much better with the white marshmallows. I was bedazzled about Russ Ballard writing this. I liked his rock and bought a few of his albums back in the 80s. I had no idea his songwriting was so diverse.
so much credit also for the writer of this song, Russ Ballard, one time singer of Argent, who wrote so many more great hits like "There's Something Goin On"(Frida) and recently at 64 played this song himself live at the Rock of Ages festival in Germany July 31st 2010 (there's a video here of that).
what a dreadful photo !! the creepy nerd in blue spooks me out lol.. errol looks cool tho and zebedee at the front looks eye-ree man lol.. what was with the frequently used mustard backdrops of the 70's !?!
@bobskins808 That's too funny! Perhaps the guy in blue pulled the legs off bugs when he was little, and afterHot Chocolate, he became a serial killer... :-)
As for backgrounds, it DOES seem that in the 1970s, things tended to be earth-toned, in the 1960s and the advent of colour TV, people often wore yellow, and in the 1980s, it was "silver". These days, it seems to be reds and blacks...
What a wonderful song! I hadn't heard it in 20 some odd years. I love that muffled bass and that xylophone. Those strings are also so sweet to listen too. Hot Chocolate rocks!
Bought the single the week it went down from No.1 to No.2, because our local record shop used to charge 15p more for a No.1 single - and then played it thin when I got it home - pure class.
Many happy memories when listening to this.Unbeatable music when this group played.Many a party went through the night when this beat entertained.Thanx for the memories Blocker.
