Of course now you have to listen to this song, just in case you never heard it before. You have to watch if you can because it's all about the performance.

I was a bit late to this album. My parents had the next album and Bennie & The Jets was always a favourite growing up, threw some shapes in front of the mirror to that song. 😁

CAMBOIS

Not pronounced CAMBOYS, but CAMUS. I'd been living here 10 years before a taxi driver told me how to pronounce it correctly. We like dancing on the beach, stuff like that.

1971

Lots going on in this list. Memories from growing up and lots of stuff I've fallen in love with over the years.

Wasn't a single until 1972, but the album came out in 1971 so it made the list.

🎶And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep🎶

Took J & Leonard to get their flu jabs. They emerged from the Pharmacy triumphant, each with a lollipop normally reserved for small children who are scared of such places. I quelled the mood on the way home with some Mark & The Mambas on the car stereo.

It's great mood music, great to drive to, great to bake to.

I'm pretty sure before he released this he was in a rock band.

My post was in jest.

Hate is such strong word though & I'm not asking anyone to like the music I post.

S.D.Harrison @sdharrison.bsky.social · 1d

Which is a shame because they were huge fans of you.

ERASURE

Probably my favourite song off the first two albums, and I think the best opening to any Erasure song.
