My mom played this all the time on our record player many many moons ago.

Always brings a smile to my face.

A song that was a part of my youth from school to night clubs.

For those who don't get it. Expand the youtube link and read through the pages of comments. You were born in the wrong place at the wrong time.

@MrGraham1966 where did you buy your CD, can't get it anywhere! Absolute anthem in the Black Country too!

To all you fans out there this has to one I wore out playing it. Remember Tramps in Worcester and then later Chicago Rock Cafe Worecester. Where themanager came and told me he could here this in the office and thought it had cleared the dance floor.........how wrong he was. Well he was from London!!!!!

Magic. Thanks to messers Caplin and Magnet from Stourbridge.

was this just a midlands thing? nobody from the rest of the world seems to admit they ever jumped around like a nutter to it. takes me back to school discos. lichfield in the 80s.


Another that was also coincidentally mentioned in the comments -

That monkey house was never played anywhere outside the midlands - bizare!

When I moved to the Black Country and the first time that came on at a party I was at everyone went mad, I had never heard of it.

I had the stephen 'tin tin' duffy on 12"

Old Halesonian rugby club discos. Last tune of the night. Peppers Wine Bar, Lye High St.

"This was also played every week at the police disco's in Halesowen's Cornbow Centre about 1986-88 All the so called hard lads would stand in the middle lookin hard and everyone else would run round the outside faster and faster sometimes getting a smack in the face from a bystander !

You're bang on the button there mr watts

First time I saw Garnier he played this at about 2am (4 hours into an 8 hour set) and the roof almost came off the place. Me and one of my best mate were on the speakers to the right of the dj booth gurning our faces off throwing some fo the worst disco shapes imaginable. Remember some scouse lad grabbing me and just screaming "he gets his tunes from fooking space la!" Top, top night.

First time I ever heard the following track at a warehouse party in the quarry in Matlock. Changed my life for ever -

(Plus the video is directed by Jarvis Cocker, from before the Pulp days)

The theme tune from Johnny Jarvis. Cracking tune and the first series I can remember watching all the way through. Aired in 1983 when I was 13. BBC1 @ 9.30 pm after the news.
