    That little dance is a hanging offence.

    How long did they practice those dancing bits?

    It was time wasted, however long it was.

    Didn't they cover DIon's Runaround Sue later in the year - then disappear?

    Have to say I liked Racey at the time...:blush:

    Not living up to the name are they?

    About as Racey as Mary Whitehouse at the time. :p

    Barry White taking on Billy Joel would be interesting. White certainly has the size advantage, but Joel was a trained boxer.

    Able Was I Ere I Saw Etna

    When it's not spewing ash and lava is the time to worry, if that answers your bizarre nonsense?^_^

    Nearly blinked and missed Sue then!

    No big Barry, give me Billy Joel's original any day.

    Probably - not before "Some Girls" was a huge hit, though.

    Pretty sure they did. They murdered it.

    This reminds me of the Lenny Henry sketch where Barry White duets with a tiny Prince.

    Barry White - I owned this single on 12", on white vinyl naturally! - but I bought it for the B side, 'Your Sweetness Is My Weakness', his old single from 1977.

    Like Barry usually, but that was not a patch on Billy Joel's version...
