Roger Hills always considered this the most difficult song he has ever had to play..the original drum solo was edited out of the live footage

Tony Hiller always gives a good word about Roger Hills when his name comes up in conversation. Fabulous song!

@judgedreadmusic I used to know Judge Dread in the 70's. He used to buy many singles from my record stall down in Medway Kent.

My Mum used to sing and dance to this song with my brother when he was 3 or 4. I have just sat and cried my eyes out.

Martin died last year and I miss him so much.

thank you for posting this lovely song.

It is a lighthearted pop song for gods sake, it wasn't meant to have a deeper meaning, it is not a political statement, it does not need anything to make it a better song, suggesting that it would be improved by altering it is an incredibly misguided view, in common with those people who have altered the words to Baa Baa Blacksheep or have made "politically correct" alterations to Enid Blyton books, Utter nonsense

@saveyourkisses4me my comment was to insert a little humor

Started singing this to my son this morning and had to look it up!! Played it half a dozen times so far :D

Quite odd for a pop song three four timing through the vocals with bit of four four in the instrumental. Played it for a while with my band and found it threw the dancers off. Try it, count the signature through the instrumental and you will see what I mean.
