Fire Down Below


We can dance, we can dance; everybody look at your hands

OK, I admit this has not been an entirely stressful week as I have been on annual leave, it was sunny up until yesterday, and we have spent a couple of evenings in the pleasant company of Madam Arcati's sister, brother-in-law, nephew and great-nephew (mainly in Wetherspoons in various locations) on their visit to London - but it is still the end of a week [unfortunately the last weekend before I'm back to the grind again], and there are traditions to keep up...

...so let's enter the very strange world of the Flirtations and the bizarre dance-troupe that surrounds them, shall we? - and Thank Disco It's Friday!

[I'm taking bets that at least one of those laydeez might have been born a "Marvin" or a "Dwayne"...]

Have a great weekend, dear reader!

  1. Wow. In 30 years, I wonder what we´ll think about our latest round of music videos. I'm sure someone thought this was good at one time. But oh dear.

    1. Spanish television was evidently a very weird place to be in the 1970s. Jx

  2. There's a lot of "flaming" going on in this clip.

  3. I was so distracted by all the flailing away in the background that I initially didn't notice what a dull tune it was. Maybe that's what they were going for.

    1. The three "laydeez" were probably immensely glad about it, tbh - none of them look as if they're interested in being there otherwise. Jx

  4. Ha! Yes, Marvin and Dwayne are flanking the main singer in the middle!

    1. In a certain light you can see Marvin's 5 o'clock shadow... Jx
