Ra-ra-ra rant

Ok, who did it? It really isn't funny. But someone, somewhere, has contrived to make this song inexplicably appear in my head today.

I haven't heard it for about 30 years.

That is about 30 years too soon for a repeat.

They don't make lyrics like this these days - fortunately:

Dig that cat in mauve, chicks!

  It was the way that the women in the group did a sort of half-hearted 'kicking legs in the air' thing that slew me. Even my gran could do that better!

Tsk, you not like Boney M then? Brown Girl in the Ring? Rivers of Babylon etc. If it wasn't fast approaching bed time I'd be on youtube now re-living my yoof.

  Yes, I did like them, back then.
  
  But I draw the line at singing it all day! And now the words make me cringe a lot. Oh, to be a teenager and think those were sophisticated lyrics!

    Funnily enough after I had a quick glance over youtube I had Rivers of Babylon stuck in my head when I went to bed.

  Yes, I often think how sad it is that groups that were so successful back then didn't get the kind of money and security that even one-hit wonders get these days.

  It certainly does. Divorce could be on the cards - my husband just got a bit irritable when I complained he was humming that tune!

  I don't blame you blaming me. If I could get my hands on whoever got it stuck in my head, I'd do more than blame.
