They say every song can leave a photo image in later life. This happy innocent song always reminds me of standing in a very long queue outside Goodison Park on a very warm day in April 1971 to try a get a ticket for the forthcoming FA Cup semi- final between Everton and Liverpool. Someone in the queue had a small transiter and played it for hours. Sadly, my lunchbreak from work turned into three hours and the turnstiles closing as we got near to them. Clodagh Rodgers belted the song out with great gusto and ought to have won the Eurovision that year. She also had a perfect look of a late 1960s star.
This may sound strange but I'm here because of Monty Python. Them and Dad's Army has made me like old British popular music. Quite out of the ordinary to someone who listens to band like Marilyn Manson or Slipknot usually.
Oh my Gott, same here, John Cleese n Eric Idle started singing this. I grew up on Python in the early 70s. Different than Killing Joke, BowWowWow, Clash, The Jam, Stone Roses its kwayzeee
Bet you guys are feeling old right now lol. Critical of a beautiful woman singing her song. Well I applaud her. Now drink your cold beers and warm champagne all by yourselves. BLM all the way.
