...that was one of the first songs of the genre i heard, when the Junkshops were being raided for Nuggets.
Note, that Giorgio Moroder has a writing credit... and yes, i think everybody thinks of Feargal when they hear it... but also i think he sounds like Roger Chapman from Family.
Here's a track from 1973 you might remember. Kenny were best known for their big hit 'The Bump' but this was an early hit too
A great tune
It's on the splendid Bubble Rock Is Here To Stay Cherry Red comp
