This is truly embarrassing! :-) My sisters were HUGE Bay City Rollers fans and I had to pretend to like them (as a glam rock loving 8 year old fixated with Slade and T Rex) to avoid ridicule. I got my own way in the end though, for championing a Mickie Most act called The Arrows a couple of years later - ha ha! This version is only marginally less excruciating than the high-pitched helium screech-athon that is the Kenny one. Note - THERE WERE TWO DIFFERENT KENNY's who had hits in the 70s!
Just saw Leslie at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut and He did this song! Loved this song! And seeing Leslie. I got to meet him! Now to meet Derek and Pat and than I will be done meeting all the Rollers!
This was a hit for Kenny in the UK. The song was written by Phil Coulter and Bill Martin, who wrote all the great early BCRs songs and also wrote songs for Kenny (such as their first, early single 'Give it to me now', which the Rollers later sang on Rollin'), Slik, and other bands on the Bell label (and others, I think Kenny were on Rak). No doubt this was only released outside the UK, somewhere Kenny didn't have a hit. I wonder if the Rollers also recorded Julie Anne and Fancy Pants?
Yes. This was released in the UK only, I believe, as a B-side. It doesn't appear on any of the albums. I don't believe they recorded either one of those other songs you mentioned.
i am 31 so this came out a little b4 i was born but i LOVE BCRs!!! Nirvana was my generations beatles and kurt loved bcrs so i am finally getting into them hell yeah
still prefer this version,it would've been an 'a' side but they didnt think it would sell so 'kenny' were given it(they had the sam songwriters)and the rollers kept it as a 'b' side, still the best one tho. thx for posting
