As The Guinness Book of Records celebrates its 60th birthday this week, and as the long Bank Holiday weekend (our last till the Festering Season) is looming, I thought I'd delve into its vaults to get our traditional party started...
According to that veritable bible of World Records, the best-selling disco single ever is Baccara's Yes Sir I Can Boogie, with 18 million copies sold.
So here - as if I needed any excuse to play a long-time Dolores Delargo Towers favourite - is that record-breaking classic, for your delectation:
All together, now!
Mister
Your eyes are full of hesitation
Sure makes me wonder
If you know what you're looking for
Baby
I wanna keep my reputation
I'm a sensation
You try me once, you'll beg for more
Oh, yes sir, I can boogie
But a I need a certain song
I can boogie, boogie-boogie
All night long
And yes sir, I can boogie
If you stay, you can't go wrong
I can boogie, boogie-boogie
All night long
No sir
I don't feel very much like talking
No, neither walking
You wanna know if I can dance
Yes sir
Already told you in the first verse
And in the chorus
But I will give you one more chance
Oh, yes sir, I can boogie
But a need a certain song
I can boogie, boogie-boogie
All night long
Thank Disco It's Friday!
Have a good one...
