That was a band called Clout. BIG hit over there in '78. Died on the vine over here.

In the list of all-time great party-starters (i.e., something you put on when you want to ensure butts will be shaking instead of in chairs), "Machine Gun" is right near the top, along with "Groove Is in the Heart."

Thurs 7/21: Wizzard's "Angel Fingers", the follow-up to "See My Baby Jive", which I haven't heard in a gazillion years. Not nearly as good as SMBJ, but you gotta either love or pity somebody who worships Phil Spector that much.

"Fat Bottomed Girls" -- so was Freddie really seduced by his nanny or is this song a fiction?  Now this song makes me think of those Dove Firming Lotion ads on BART. That woman's navel looks like a coin slot -- quarters only.

:) that's the song to be played at my funeral.

mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn - did you *have* to associate "fbg" with the dove women? it's become a moving picture in my head. they're all dancing around in their skivvies, and there's a massive tittie shaking convention during the big tom roll before the last verse. geesh.

WTF??? the Brit version of "Angel of the Morning" by someone named P.P. Arnold (I swear I'm not making that name up!)  Neither Merilee Rush nor Juice Newton ever charted in the UK with the song.

especially when they use Crisco in the Frisco Disco. Still say Michael shoulda blamed it on the boogie during his trial.

My favorite thing about that song is that the title is actually:
"Can I Touch You ... There?"

I've bought three 5D compilations over the years and still have never heard this song.  What's it like?  A Lifetime-worthy McCoo ballad like "Last Night I Didn't Get to Sleep"?

I think it's better than "Last Night..."  It's a slow, plaintive ballad that I've always interpreted as being written from the POV of a call girl in love with a client (but could just be a woman in love with a married man). It's on every 5D compilation I've seen.  Went Top Ten right after "Last Night"  but you never hear it. One of Ms McCoo's best perfs IMHO.

Last night she didn't get to  sleep at all!

And isn't "Freedom for the Stallion" a lovely song?  A shame that the HC have gone down in history as a novelty act ...
