Another shock, horror moment - as we discover that the lovely Kim Appleby (who with her late sister was one half of Stock, Aitken & Waterman's finest Mel and Kim) celebrates her 50th birthday today!
Dear me, we are all getting old...
Respectable
Respectable
Respectable
Respectable
Tay, tay, tay, tay, t-t-t-t-t-tay, tay
Take or leave us only please believe us
We ain't never gonna be respectable
It's our occupation, we're a dancing nation
We keep the pressure on every night
Explanations are complications
We don't need to know the where or why
Tay, tay, tay, tay, t-t-t-t-t-tay, tay
Taking chances, bold advances
Don't care if you think we're out of line
Conservation is interrogation
Get out of here, we just don't have the time!
Tay, tay, tay, tay, t-t-t-t-t-tay, tay
Take or leave us, only please believe us
We ain't never gonna be respectable (Respectable)
Like us, hate us but you'll never change us
We ain't never gonna be respectable (Respectable)
(Respectable, respectable, respectable)
Hesitation is just frustration
Give us the music and we're alright
On each occasion, for your information
We can look after ourselves alright
Tay, tay, tay, tay, t-t-t-t-t-tay, tay
Take or leave us, only please believe us
We ain't never gonna be respectable (Respectable)
Like us, hate us but you'll never change us
We ain't never gonna be respectable (Respectable)
Respectable
Respectable
Respectable
Fascination is our sensation
We like to put ourselves on the line
Recreation is our destination
So don't wait up for us tonight!
Tay, tay, tay, tay, t-t-t-t-t-tay, tay
Take or leave us, only please believe us
We ain't never gonna be respectable (Respectable)
Like us, hate us but you'll never change us
We ain't never gonna be respectable (Respectable)
Take or leave us, only please believe us
We ain't never gonna be respectable (Respectable)
Like us, hate us but you'll never change us
We ain't never gonna be respectable (Respectable)
Still an absolute classic!

Bethnal Green's finest (along with Cheryl Baker) but yikes it does make me feel old - Showing Out was out when I started work which is coming up for 25 years ago.

ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD! I bought Kim's solo album just couple of weeks ago (I always wanted it but never got around to buying it). Can´t believe she´s 50 now!
