Great track, despite the dodgy lyrics about observing your sister in the bathroom...
41 years later and I've never seen a video of the band doing this because I was always out on on Thursday nights when TOTP was on.. There must be a vid somewhere? .
@TheBelly58 Dodgy lyrics? I was a young teenager when this was released. My sister was a year older than me. It was like an adult was giving me permission - I was so grateful. Sadly, the bolt on the door and my cowardice defeated my hopes, but I did what young men do thinking about it for many a long night. Happy, happy days. And I'll always be grateful to CCS for that.
Alexis Corner, very missed today. The Mighty 1970's, one of the greatest decades the world has ever seen. The music was fab. I wish we were back there again. We danced to this music in my teenage years throughout the 1970's. CCS they were fab and great tunes too, I was in School when these were released in early 70's. They still sound great 40 years later.
Just amazing music - timeless genius with a heavy hint of huimour and fun. They performed live at the Albert Hall and on the BBC - has anyone any footage of those concerts?
what a tune!reminds me of my apprentiship learning about car mechanics,life,beer and women my boss ,jeff used to lose his mind when this came on the radio special to him now special to me!
Brings back many memories - my brother had the single when it came out and I was only 4 years old at the time, used to laugh at the lyric "see your sister in the raw"!
Haha! I used to be addicted to listenin to this track so bad I made my buddy copy it onto both sides of a cassette tape so it played non stop! Haha! After the middle eight, sounds like theres a dude playin the spoons! Thats my favourite bit! Haha! Awesome!
Who cares video,but what A FANTASTIC piece of forgotten greats.When a preteenager I loved this song!!!!!!!!

Acorns make the forest grow
From little acorns do big oak trees grow
Tap turns on the water
See the waters flow come and ride the river
They look but don't see
The listen but don't hear...........................Prophetic words.....Selah
