Thank fuck for that. The most horrible week in work - shortened by the Festering Season or otherwise - is over. Yay!
We really deserve an incredibly catchy choon to get us in the mood for a party, and this is perfect... Thank Disco It's Friday!
Look what you're doing to me
I'm utterly at your whim
All of my defences down
Your camera looks through me
With it's X-ray vision
And all systems run aground
All I can manage to push from my lips
Is a stream of absurdities
Every word I intended to speak
Winds up locked in a circuitry
No way to control it
It's totally automatic
Whenever you're around
I'm walking blindfolded
Completely automatic
All of my systems are down
Down, down, down
Automatic (automatic)
Automatic (automatic)
What is this madness
That makes my motor run
And my legs too weak to stand
I go from sadness to exhilaration
Like a robot at your command
My hands perspire
And shake like a leaf
Up and down goes my temperature
I summon doctors to get some relief
But they tell me there is no cure
They tell me
No way to control it
It's totally automatic
Whenever you're around
I'm walking blindfolded
Completely automatic
All of my systems are down
Down, down, down
Automatic (automatic)
Automatic (automatic)
Automatic, automatic
Automatic, automatic
RIP, Anita Pointer (23rd January 1948 – 31st December 2022)
Have a great weekend, dear reader!
I love the Pointer Sisters! And that animated gif is a riot. Sorry it was such a horrible week at work. Glad it was shortened.
ReplyDeleteThere's only one Pointer Sister left now, more's the pity - but what a legacy! Jx
DeleteThese gals are on my playlist. Hearing them is an "automatic" lift.

Indeed. Jx
Well I never! I thought this was sung by Scritti Politti.
ReplyDeleteGreen Gartside had a much higher voice than any of those girls! Jx
DeleteOoh, the Pointer Sisters! Love them! This brings back such fond memories. Have a nice weekend and hopefully next week will be better!
ReplyDeleteI have my huge hair and my padded-shoulder jacket on as we speak, dear, Jx
DeleteI remember dashing to the dance floor whenever this came on at a local club!
ReplyDeleteHave a relaxing weekend!
Sx
Did you have the hair and the shoulders, though? Photographic evidence is needed! Jx
Deletethat is the most glamorous gang of drag queens I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteThey're concealing those Adam's apples very well. Jx
DeleteFab then and fab now.
ReplyDeleteThe song certainly has lasted the test of time. Less so, the fashions. Jx
