Calm down, dear!
Hoorah! The weekend's almost here.
My sister, History Boy and I are headed off tomorrow to visit The Mother in Portsmouth (bastard train strikes having prevented us from doing so last weekend for Mothers' Day, or indeed, her opportunity to come to London). The weather looks grim, but I'm certain we'll make the most of it.
We need a little boost to get us in the appropriate party mood - and who better to provide it than the Detroit Spinners? Get your best powder blue flared-and-huge-collared suits out of the back of the wardrobe, dear reader, practice those synchronised click-and-spin moves - and Thank Disco It's Friday!
Have a great weekend, folks!
Love this song. That animated GIF is frightening.
ReplyDeleteThat beardy dancer's taken way too much Speed... Jx
DeleteI remember that Beardy dancer - from the Young Generation BBC Dance Troupe? - He was always a little more over the top than the rest of them!
DeleteHave a great weekend - at least the weather is getting a little warmer.
Sx
Sadly, the Young Generation mostly appeared on telly in various 70s shows starring Rolf Harris, so we'll never see them again and they certainly won't be getting any repeat fees! I doubt "beardy man" takes so much speed these days, if he's still alive, of course. Jx
DeleteWhiplash LaRue had me worried there. Dang. There's a few 'toss' double entendres in that but I'm not the one to make theOK I wonder what else he can toss. Fine.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good job he had those padded underpants on, otherwise you might have seen the stain... Jx
DeleteIt's a shame how they messed up that lead singers microphone. And that GIF! Safety gays run amok!
ReplyDeleteI thought that about the mic - poor sod.
DeleteSafety gays who know no restraint... Just be thankful they weren't backing a diva like Miss Ross or Miss Ciccone, or else there'd be a few mullets ripped out by now! Jx
Please continue to time travel as I can only really get behind decades that promoted tight trousers for men. I hope I live long enough to see their comeback.
ReplyDeleteAmen! Just not the modern "super-skinny" ones that make men look like they have fat arses. Jx
DeleteOK,Mistress, I might go with that, but only if they're not Crimplene! Please, God, no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCrimplene! Oh, gawd, that fabric sets my teeth on edge. Even if I inadvertently brush against it in a charity shop or vintage shop, I flinch... Jx
DeleteOh I do hope powder blue suits come into fashion.
ReplyDeleteGood spot Ms Scarlet -
I always enjoyed 'Seaside Special' and it's ilk. I wonder what the Young Generation look like now.
Old. Jx
DeleteI know a chap who had a powder-blue Crimplene suit...
DeleteCrimplene! The work of the Devil. Jx
