Clout - Substitute 1978

[ambivolence]

Quality old song!

[oct201981]

great memory from 1978 ,eventhough they never played any instruments live or on thier records

[Panthera0nca]

@oct201981

How can you not play drums live?

[Helivz]

I remember this tune on the radio, November 1978. I was  a Senior in high school and times were tough for me, mentally and otherwise. Seventeen-years-old, going on eighteen! I love the memories of good quality, clean music.

[Aromaticduck]

Wow.. .Big girls... .I expect they could have been Truck Drivers if the Music thing hadn't worked out.... No offence intended to Big Girls...

[peterdcarter1]

i am a transsexual and have a clout substitute

[jaredsfilms]

@Aromaticduck

They were from 70's South Africa, so I guess lucky for them they weren't...

[bri1968]

i bet the drummer has a big sticky flappy outie clout mmmmm stuck to her drum stool lovelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[grizzle100]

@bri1968

[k3llz67]

[kiwigurlz2]

WoooHooo.... classy women!!... rock on!!

[softie461]

34 y.a. - still a great song - and still a great  group !!

[DustyStew]

A million sales would have paid for a lot of music lessons

[DustyStew]

What I mean to say is, it seems someone decided the girls were not good enough players...so some time shortly after this was made, they brought in the guys from Circus who actually played the instruments on this track. Bad move in my estimation, they lost the girl-group mystique. Their other songs are good...but no hits of this magnitude.

[ajdbatfan]

Great song. Only kept off Number One by John Travolta & Olivia NewtonJohn's You're The One That I Want

[bigsbz]

How did this group get ignored in the United States?

[LedWilde]

@bigsbz Good question.

[Analoguesque]

@bigsbz As many overseas groups always do - A&R folks deciding what the US population will like.

[hooplemott]

Hubbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Hubbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaa

[kralle7611]

[davenuge]

That lead singer would look like Elaine Benes if she tidied her hair up a bit. Nice.

[bobu46]

Nice song - pretty girls - simply a pleasure !!

[jodisass]

Well, Loobs666, you're so fortunate to look like Brad Pitt. Some of us aren't born with your great looks.

[VICECITYYY]

This is what Chuck Norris listens to !!!

[heartwings61]

What ever happen to this group? They're good!!! I liked them very much!!!

[Loobs666]

Fucking hell...what a bunch of mingers! I always thought Apartheid was a White based one-way street, but the Black guys in South Africa should count themselves lucky.... imagine waking up next to that drummer!!!

[MrSublevel3]

[capetown99]

Reminds me of when I was a kid growin up in the 70s-it was always sunny :)

[sahajad]

I used to love listening to their music. These were the real all girl power ! Not like those trash cans called Spice girls who came long after wards ! They could never play the instruments like these girls !

They only sang and danced the jig !

[sinister066]

@sahajad totally agree.

[ger0863]

just love it...... takes me back to Tiffanys on London Rd, Sheffield... teeny boppers night! still sing it loudly now!

[onnimonniful]

[hoplite46]

Real musicians and real girls not like todays plastic factory

[furb393]

@hoplite46 Damn straight, loved the tight jeans and the cleavage revealing tops. If I was born 20yrs earlier I reckon I would've loved the 70s

[hoplite46]
