No idea why i learner every word of this song (Both parts) as a 12 year old in 1978, and still remmeber every word when it gets its annual outing on radio 2!
Brilliant song! I now realise that Dean and I had something in common that stays to this Day i.e A full head of dark hair in the 70's and a full head of grey hair Today.
@superparamedic7 Well obviously my point is that a 'well crafted song' requires well crafted, well thought out lyrics. The lyrics to this are far from that. (I thought I'd made that point in my previous comment. How come you have some kind of difficulty understanding my point?)
@mrnivag saw Dean a lot lately he does this song with audience doing the girl part trying to work up the courage to say 'i'll do it' i was considered a geek at 14 cos i liked him x
Well its kind of cute, though I can see how its also very annoying. Some of the lines are awful, but I love "By the way, I forgot to say, your endearing mother called today." And the idea of it being like a conversational duet is nice, you don't see that very often if at all these days. Pity some people cant avoid getting into a slanging match on this site though
@bumpyjason What are you crazy how in the hell can you say what you just said? I just don't believe you. You think it all revolves around you. Now come back to bed and hold me tight bumpyjason. mmm, I see why they call you bumpy.xxx
@bumpyjason weirdo, you don't even know me. If you tell me to shut up again you'll be very very very sorry indeed. By the way, learn how to spell and use grammar, you uneducated piece of duvet.
@bumpyjason no need to repeat yourself. I heard you. Why are you so against Jews and Gays and Women and Blacks becuase clearly you are by the language you use. I find it utterly disgusting that you are allowed to walk ther earth. So narrow minded and so foul. Go back to your church you silly twerp.
@farfisa lol what the fuck are you on about? and what the fuck is a "ther"? you uneducated piece of duvet :o) am I going to be very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very sorry indeed now? btw I am black.
@bumpyjason It's easy to say you are black online. By the way I'm back online! Hahaha. Look, let's just nip this in the bud. I think you're sweet but not enough to buy you a new duvet. You know what I mean? What is your problem with dear Dean?
The beauty of this record is that it could get into the chart in its time. It would have no chance now as the music buying public of today are just clueless. There are some pretty good acts out there such as The Pierces, Hurts but the reality is that all the public want is trash such as Lady Ga Ga, Adele, Hip-hop, etc.
Me and my friend Maxine used to sing this to each other at shool breaks in the 80s... Very cheesy, but his album which it came from (Well, Well, Said The Rocking Chair) had some much better songs, notably 'Shoppiong Bag Ladies...'
Me and the guys in work were talking about music that they really hate and I remembered this carnage that scarred my childhood, and I had to show them what it was all about! Simple really! I can't say there was anything masochistic in my motives because I gained absolutely no pleasure from it. Hope this helps. Yours sincerely, Boab
One of the most insipid, nauseating, utterly ANNOYING songs EVER written! This song, along with anything by Crystal Gayle and anything else in that genre makes me genuinely ANGRY!!!!!!! If I ever met Dean Friedman I would smash his face right in!!!
Heard this on the radio this morning and it brought back the true horror of the song. The "I may not be all that bright" line had me shouting at the radio, as it always used to!
When he sings near the end " then slide over here because I may not be all the bright"..I swear the next line should be " but I've got a boner tonight"...sorry :)
@farfisa ART?..HAHAHAHAHAHAHA:)...yeah if you say so:)...OH my sides are splitting Dean Friedman's "Lucky Stars"..being described as artt?...that is priceless:)
@yeovil50 I think I'm in love with you. I always like a challenge you see, ever since I was 2 and I learned how to use both my thumbs - you know what I'm talking about - but I think I could really educate you. Would you like to have a go with my hoop? I really like sporty duvets like yourself and I'm fresh on today so don't worry about wiping your keyboard. Now go and learn the alphabet - my hoop is waiting.
Just a fantastic song, I never gave it credit all those years ago but I have been giving it a lot of plays for the last few days and I just love it. its so innocent and the two voices are packed with feeling . but in the end nobody is hurt., Its a beautiful song.

May I say that firstly,You do not need Professional help,You are only suffering from the Dean Friedman syndrome.
Although it is pandemic amongst Dean Friedman fans,It is one ailment that We hope they never find a cure for.
