    When we were kids growing up in Ilford and Seven Kings we would always see him visiting his mum on a Sunday,we would mimic We Going to Make you a Star and run away and he would laugh and say not bad boys ! A good chap !

    Wish the majority of modern music that gets airtime had this lovely natural sound. I am 28 btw a young person, tend to clash with most around my age due to my preference of 60s and 70s hits

      I'm a bloke. But my dad was exactly like your dad. I'm also straight, but was intensely jealous of his 'cheeky chappie' good looks and personality. I wanted to be him so much. Great fun to revisit these simpler times eh? 🤪

    I never knew of this song until 2023. It was the ending theme for a really fun comedy horror movie, Eat Locals.
    I have never been so pleasantly surprised by a vampire movie before. I don’t know why it got a bad score on rotten tomatoes because it was a awesome flick and the ending scene with this song was just terrific.
