There's a sunny and warm spell ahead for the UK, dear reader - the much-vaunted "Indian Summer" may well be on its way. True to form, however, it's not predicted to get really hot until - you guessed it - Monday. So I have taken Monday off in readiness! Yay!
But first, let's get things (ahem) warmed up, as is our wont, in anticipation of the forthcoming weekend. Our "gang" will be having another of our Zoom parties to mark The Last Night of the (socially-distanced) Proms tomorrow, and that could get very loud and raucous...
Following the sad news of the death of founder member Mr Ronald Bell earlier this week, what better than a classic funky number from the marvellous Kool & the Gang? Thank Disco It's Friday, and "get down on it", indeed!
Hey, hey, yeah, what you gonna do? You wanna get down?
Tell me, what you gonna do? Do you wanna get down?
What you gonna do? You wanna get down?
(Get your back up off the wall, dance, come on)
(Get your back up off the wall, dance, come on)
(Get down on it, get down on it)
(Get down on it, get down on it)
Come on and
(Get down on it, get down on it)
(Get down on it, get down on it)
How you gonna do it if you really don't wannna dance
By standing on the wall?
(Get your back up off the wall)
Tell me, how you gonna do it if you really don't wanna dance
By standing on the wall?
(Get your back up off the wall)
'Cause I heard all the people sayin'
(Get down on it)
Come on and
(Get down on it)
If you really want it
(Get down on it)
You gotta feel it
(Get down on it)
Get down on it
Profound.
Have a great weekend, peeps!
I LOVE THIS SONG!

Hooray! Temperatures back in the 20s! And high 20s for your neck of the woods. Today was my last day "at" work for two weeks, so Monday and Tuesday's mid-20s here will be a lovely start to my holiday.
ReplyDeleteHappy long, hot weekend!
You're "getting down on it" as we speak - I can tell...
DeleteHappy Friday! Happy sunshine! Happy holiday!

PS London's expecting 30C next week - yay!
Here's to a funk filled long weekend.

ReplyDeleteKool indeed !
A fab track.
Another song that brings a load of memories from our younger days flooding back... Jx
DeleteThere were alternative lyrics for this one, wasn’t there?!
ReplyDeleteSx
Oh, yes - everyone knew it was all a big double-entendre, so the rude lyrics were always being sung/shouted on the dancefloors. Jx
