I don't know if I'm being foolish, don't know if I'm being wise

The weekend hoves into view, and - despite the torrential rain today - we need to get in the mood for a party!

He looks a little different these days [click to embiggen]

The fact that the formerly-gorgeous Paul Mercurio of tight-trousered Strictly Ballroom fame [see here] is (gulp!) sixty years old today gives me the perfect excuse to post a classic number that was used in the film (here performed in an updated version by its original 70s singer) - and Thank Disco It's Friday!

John Paul Young - Love Is In The Air (Strictly Ballroom)

Have a good one, dear reader, whatever the weather!

Quiz Time!

What links these otherwise disparate tracks?

David Bowie - Friday on My Mind

AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie

Grace Jones - Walking in the Rain

INXS - Good Times

John Paul Young - Love Is in the Air

...the awesome talents of the recently-departed Mr George Young, who was behind them all! [He wrote all of the songs above with the exception of the AC/DC track, which he produced; Angus and Malcolm Young being his brothers - coincidentally, John-Paul was no relation]



RIP George Redburn Young (6th November 1946 – 22nd October 2017)

Everywhere I look around

Thank heavens that week is out of the way! It seems even a shortened week (thanks to the last bank holiday before Xmas on Monday) drags out mercilessly...

Never mind, let's get our party shoes on, curl our locks all casual-like, and boogie to the strains of the one-and-only Mr John Paul Young!

Love is in the Air? Or is it "Legs are in the Air"? Either way - Thank Disco It's Friday!!

John Paul Young - Love is in the Air

Have a great one, whatever (or whoever) you do!
