Dancing to rhythms that make us vibrate

This sort of thing always happens when we go to Wetherspoons...

Yay! The weekend's looming - and it's a busy one ahead. Tonight, Madam Arcati and I will be meeting in our local Wetherspoons for something to eat and then heading off to the lofty environs of "Ally Pally" (Alexandra Palace) for the BBC's Friday Night is Music Night tribute concert for Dame Julie Andrews, tomorrow it is The Last Night of the Proms on telly (so I need to dig the Union Jacks out!), and on Sunday we're off to the dinky Park Theatre for An Evening With Julian Clary!

I'll need a day off after all that excitement.

Meanwhile, let's get the party started - French House style - and Thank Disco It's Friday!

French Affair - My Heart Goes Boom (La Di Da Da)

Oh, mon amour, laisse to toucher
Caresser ta peau
Sa me fait rever
Danser sur des rythmes qui nous font vibrer
Je t'aime pour toujour et sa tu le sais

Apparently.

Have a great weekend, dear reader!

Dance to the rhythms that make us vibrate

Timeslip moment again...

Ahead of the new series of Dr Who that starts this weekend, our very own little ride in the TARDIS has dropped us off in this week fifteen years ago.

In the news this week in 2000: the Northern Ireland peace process, the opening of the Sydney Olympics, nationwide fuel price protests and petrol shortages, and the launches of the ill-fated Windows Me and the not-so-ill-fated Ford Mondeo. In the charts, it was a musical landscape of clashing styles - with Madge, Ronan Keating, Britney, Wyclef Jean, NSync, Craig David, Eminem and Slipknot all jostling for a place.

But just arrived outside the Top 40, yet destined to crash through to the top, was this catchy little number - it's French Affair (and whatever happened to them?)!

French Affair - My Heart Goes Boom (La Di Da Da)

Oh, mon amour, laisse to toucher
Caresser ta peau
Sa me fait rever
Danser sur des rythmes qui nous font vibrer
Je t'aime pour toujour et sa tu le sais

Apparently.
