Blew out the speaker on my little record player cranking this when I was 5. I always wondered what "Take a wipeout by the innerhouse" meant, until I bought the CD with lyrics last year. "Take a white mouse; he's hiding in a house." Hoo boy...
@fatpizzaman Good question. Actually it harks backs to the 70s and a chain of ballrooms in UK known as the Mecca Clubs (the Mecca circuit). Well because of the overt sexually nature of their stage act Sweet were banned from playing on this circuit hence the song. It's a stab back at the guy who decided their act was simply too risqué for the audiences they were attracting. (Nowadays it would be Man From YouTube .. a video I made for Hey Mama got axed a few weeks back!) They're Bingo halls now
ive only just started to rediscover the brilliance of the sweet, way ahead of their time ,who knows how far they would have been taken if the ravages of alcohol hadnt taken hold of brian, is it my imagination but there always seems to be such sadness in andys face post the sweets break up
@xerri1 yes..i just wonder why brian who is so talented good lookin would turn to alchohol?these guys paved the way for many bands...i miss them dearly....
E BYE GUM IN THE MOUTH WALKING TALKING FAIR GROUND RIDE GETING SOME CANDY FEELING DANDY LOOKING AT THE BIRD'S FEELING RANDY GOT TO GET SOME CANDY AT THE FAIR GROUND SIT WITH THE CHICKS AND KISS.
those was the days kissing lips of candy BRITISH CHICKS SWEET KISS NEVER ENDING
What a killer track i recall i first played that on a jukebox that had a duff selector so it came on by mistake, we all fell off our seats when it kicked in and all went rushing to the jukebox to see what the hell it was, after which we played the B'sides to death.
mick tucker is my hero, when i heard this song on the sweet singles album i got for xmas way back then it made my drumming what it is today, its classic 70s that influenced a lot of musicians
AWESOME ! So much better than most at the time.Many may not want to admit it but the different phases that this band went through musically have influenced a countless number of other much more commercially famous bands.
I still have this 45, I nearly woere it out playing this song

Was this song written about the prophet Mohammed? If not, what has the song got to do with the title?

Sweet memories. Amazing production. Also the playing with the pan (left right) in the solo is great. They don't do that no more. Thanks for uploading

So very far ahead of their time,the backward masking and the hammer
techniques,for 1972 this was the future of heavy metal and hard rock,whats
really funny this was the b-side of little willey
