It's the end of another stressful week in work - but at least I have an office Xmas booze-fest to look forward to tonight! [For a change (hopefully) one that doesn't involve having to smile unconvincingly at bosses in festive jumpers, and involves people who know how to have a laugh...]
In the meantime, let's be daring, sling on a skin-tight powder blue outfit, and practice our spinning - in the company of the arch-funksters Tavares with their incredible performing trousers...
...and Thank Disco It's Friday [the Thirteenth - oo-er!]!
RIP, Arthur Paul "Pooch" Tavares
What's an hour of the day?
We throw at least one away
And walk the streets for half the year
Tryin' to find a new career
If you get a flu attack
For thirty days you're on your back
Doing not a single dance
Baby, give me half a chance
It only takes a minute, girl
To fall in love, to fall in love
It only takes a minute, girl
To fall in love, fall in love
How philosophical.
Have a good one!
Have a great time at the work Christmas do - though I hope it doesn't get too messy!
ReplyDeleteI've never read those lyrics before, or been aware of much else other than the chorus - flu attack???!!! How contemporary!!
Sx
Neither Tavares nor Take That enunciated the lyrics well enough for you to notice they mentioned flu, obviously. The songwriters Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter must have been struggling for a rhyming section to pad out the verse a bit! A poor show from the geniuses behind Rhinestone Cowboy... Jx
DeleteHope the work Christmas do is all you hope for and none of that other crap. Great to see these guys again on Soul Train.
ReplyDeleteIt was a raucous, booze-filled evening, with no upsets nor uncomfortable conversations. I thoroughly enjoyed it - even if I did need the longest-of-long lie-ins today... Jx
DeleteI miss Soul Train and Don Cornelius! Here's to a Happy Christmas do with your work colleagues, sweetpea! And, hopefully, nothing new on your work plate until january! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSoul Train was never a "thing" here (until the early days of Channel 4, when they used to dredge up all sorts of weird stuff from other countries for us to gawp at, particularly late at night when people had got in from the pubs). As for the do - there won't be any red faces on Monday this year! Jx
Delete"Arch-funksters" indeed. I hope you got a chance to show off your funktastic moves at the party.
ReplyDeleteAlthough there was a bit of dancing going on, it was in a crowded pub and the music was more often than not (apart from a few 80s/90s dance classics) a bit crap, so my arse stayed firmly seated. I was tired enough after a stressful week - I only surfaced from bed mid-afternoon as it was; had I been dancing as well, I can't imagine the aches! Jx
DeleteI wonder if powder blue suits with Lapel Contrast Piping will ever come back into fashion ?
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope not. Jx
