Great that we're (presumably!) around the same age and you get what I mean... and particularly from the female perspective. Assuming you have a blog too and would love to have a look if that'd be ok, and could let me know how to find it?Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-54789697292453591532016-10-16T12:00:52.917+01:002016-10-16T12:00:52.917+01:00Hi - Just discovered your wonderful blog.

If I had a boyfriend we tended to listen to new wave but if I was with my girl friends we dressed up and went dancing to disco music. Going to add you to my blogroll over at Wordpress.Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671033552961486737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-23024196740296683802016-08-21T13:47:45.823+01:002016-08-21T13:47:45.823+01:00Hi Darcy - yes, I agree, those late 70s were wonde...Hi Darcy - yes, I agree, those late 70s were wonderfully confusing!

Bowie ,Soul, Funk, Punk and Reggae in equal doses. Actually not confusing, just wonderful. Loved this record and we must have played it regularly at the mobile disco I was running with some friends at the time.<br /><br />I remember a Damned gig, probably '77, when we agonised over what to wear not being out and punks. <br /><br />A Geography field trip record for me will always be Stealer's Wheel Stuck In The Middle With You. That was Cheddar I think.

Week after week I was staggered at not only how many songs I recognised that I had never owned, but how many of them I even remembered the lyrics of! I guess I had less to occupy my brain in those days and so everything that went in my ears stayed there, however deeply buried away. I certainly remember 'Boogie Oogie Oogie' too, though, like you, I never realised how cool the front women were. What a great clip!The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-80645747826529004652016-08-14T16:35:50.727+01:002016-08-14T16:35:50.727+01:00I loved that song.

It sounded sexy and inviting to the ears of this shy young man who wanted to kiss and hold all the cute girls but I was too petrified of being rejected.Dr. Monkey Hussein Monkersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14871033999478634222noreply@blogger.com
