That song was the best thing about 1979 shame about the General Election result, the song more appropiate for that was maybe 'The lunatics have taken over the assylum' maybe ,, but Darts were fantastic & a welcome distraction from it all
I randomly got the single of this a couple of weeks back at a car boot and I only heard thiit s song for the first time yesterday. Already I'm hooked on it
Soud likes the voice of a Boy George please give me that maculine voice of Gene Chandler. The music is nice and that is about. This song makes me want to go to the drive in and see the girls rollerskate to wait on the customers in their cars. so I can get something out of this song think back to the doowop era.
They really were a great band (dont know if the still perform together) saw them 3 time in the late 70's early 80's, Great shows, but at their best with Den Haggerty as the Bass Singer.
Oh yes Darts have got 2gether again over recent years by fans re-uniting them.... and the great news is that Den's back with them. He's as mad as ever! They were due to do some more gigs later this year but Den has broken his leg so he's out of action for a while. Hopefully a gig coming up not too far into the new year. The line up has been - Den, Rita, Pikey, Griff, Horace, Jimmy, Thump, Nosmo & George. Pikey's been with them since Bob left and his voice awsome. They R still the best live!
Ta 4 the info, I would to see them again, shame Bob's not still with them, His voice was great, but Pikey is as good or better, cant complain, thanks again
Yes he only did the "Dart Attack" Album and about 10 yrs later he produced "Waterloo" (The Abba Song) covered by Dr & the Medics, but as for anything I don't know, but they are great poductions.
80'huvo in a regression to the 50 'this is a sample of this and many other groups of Asni late 80s and beginning of 90', also released in Spain this trend.
absolute classic.. thnx poster ;-)

Not often you get a cover as good as this one - better than the original in many peoples opinion.
Fantstic - well done to Darts for bringing such great music to a new generaation on fans.

Yes I knew that Roy Wood worked with the Darts for some moments.
I guess the vocal harmonies and the saxophone arrangements are credited by Wood. Good stuff.
