I thought I was the only one who liked this song its lyrics are fab but none of my friends had ever heard of it so I was pleasantly surprised to see it on Utube
in 1984 I was busking at Westminster (the subway leading to the tube station) - just about to start my stint at 10 in the morning when a bloke comes up and gives me a tenner to go away for an hour - while this lot shot the video for this single - I remember seeing it shortly afterwards but haven't seen it since.
Ahh - Great memories esp of Wendy May when she went on to DJ the Locomotion at the Kentish Town & Country Club. (And the Shillelagh Sis were seperate to the BHFTs.
Takes me back!...Who wrote it? I just love it. Did then and still sing it to myself. Love it, love it, love it. Thanks for posting it! Where can I hear the original recording ( which I recall was mega- fast) X
Thanks for the upload. This is a good reason the internet should be free. Crap like Stock Aitken and Waterman, you should pay for. Clever, inventive stuff, you should not. What are they doing now? There is nothing on WIkipedia, the font of all totally accurate knowledge.
WOW! I've known this song for 20 odd years and I love love love it. Best Lyrics. Thanks for putting it on You Tube cos I've never seen it performed.
