Talking about a lost oldie, you had to be there!

They sound a bit like Herman's Hermits. I like it a lot.

@MoosicandCritters No worries. They were based in England. The first episode of a series entitled "Love is in the Air," made by the ABC (the Australian one!) featured the song at the beginning of Episode 5.

@Bill41914 Oops, my mistake. I can usually always tell a difference in their accents when they are talking. But when they are singing, it's a little harder to discern. Thanks for setting me straight.

:D

Wow Bos! You're amazing! You really post some fantastic oldies on your channel! I was only 9 when this song came out, and I always LOVED those British accents!
