Der Wahnsinn! Zeitlos!
I know a milliron people have said it…but yeah Roxy music la la la….
Yer Mum Rocks—she definately has a Post-Punk Sensability about her. This song so strongly reeks of ABBA (ABBA-ESQUE) that I fully expected what’s her name (Meryl Strepp) to sing in in Momma Mia.
DIG IT!!!!!!
Thanks bwbarb.
Good song sounds like Roxy music
what can i say…………..my all time fav my wife’s going bonkers cuz i play it over and over and over lol….:)
very well said Kath
Im ashamed to admit I didnt know this was by Sailor – I always thought it wias Roxy Music! God, I feel like the crusty old judge who didnt know who the Beatles were!
Scooter the SHAME..
This and Girls, Girls, Girls are great songs. People called them “Roxy Music-lite” but they weren’t a bad band in their own right.
Gary tibbs was in Kajagoogo. and probably countless other bands. great song
what can i say..true tune back from the day when i was 2yr’s old
…cheers mate…
I’m over sensitive..and i didn’t really know what I was listening to then. Q put this song on a recent compilation & I was able to understand their peculiar charm- your Mum was right, Bless her.
- my mum was in her mid-40s when Sailor were at their peak in the UK. I think she liked them because they put showbiz back into rock – the same reason she liked Roxy and Adam.
This was my childhood – does that make me an old Mum?, oh dear…time just passes, it will be your turn in the blink of an eye
Super hudba,moc se mi to líbí,pamatuju je jako moje oblíbené z mládííí
My dear old Mum loved this band – but then again, she liked Roxy Music too. She even followed Adam & The Ants during their heyday, when ex-Roxy bassist Gary Tibbs was in the line-up!
George Kajanus said that “virginia plain” definitely inspired him, hence the similarities in the songs. This is such a fantastic, “feel good” song. Its impossible not to move to it. Band member Phil Pickering went on to write Karma Chameleon for Culture Club too:)
I remember when this song came out.
I was a teenager at the time. Sure brings back the memories.
Great song
love this song
great !! listen to Jumping All Over The World.
Jumping All Over The World it’s copy
I´ve heard the Techno-Version first, but this is so awesome .
This is still real music, which puts you in a happy nostalgic feeling
eeeh, please, I just love it, watch the video at 0:20 , and watch the piano guy, he is so freakin happy
was 6 when this came out, then one day…in my 30′s I thought about it while driving…just came into my head…and have played it daily while driving through the blackwall tunnel most mornings, on way to work, on my ipod! who can’t not sing to this? The best…..
Kajanas delivered the glossy pop goods—-and millions ROCKED.
I was 17 when this came out , man did I bop to it ……….brilliant memorys
