Not a bad song , the vid was a bit weird looking though , was trying to think if I have ever heard of them before , not sure , going to have to look them up on Wiki and get more info , very 70's though judging by the flared trouser legs and catsuit outfits lol , did men really go around looking like that and get away with it , I guess so .
Without looking, I'm pretty sure that song was released my sr. yr. in h.s./1973. It's in my jukebox.
Yep, a lot of guys dressed like that...well, not like THAT, but the flared pants. Polyester was the rage, the lead-in to disco.
I'm pretty sure those guys were ripped (stoned) when they made that vid. The lead singer's eyes look glassy and the long-haired dude at around 2:50 in the vid is blitzed outta his gourd, I'm positive. lol
"Clowns to the left of me jokers to the right" Sounds like the office where I work.......
