Anyone remember Racey?

[Plain Talker]

I remember the band Kenny , and their song "the Bump"

 

"there's a new dance,

that is goin' around

called The Bump,

Do the bump"

 

 

with the immortal, and inspired lines

 

"Hey, hey, hi- di ho-

Now your're dancin'

Nice and slow

Nick-knack

Paddy wack

Now your'e dancing

Back-to back

1-2-3, bump

(1-2-3, bump...)

C'mon and do the bump

 

Do the Bump,

do the bump"

 

(actually, I did like this group, and Midge Ure's original group, Slik, hearing this music takes me right back to the school discoes,.

 

But, wow, houdi! It shows how the memory plays tricks on one! I always thought that Racey were a couple of years earlier than the "79/80" years ! I am amazed, (I would have laid money on their hits being from about 77.)

 

Around the same time as those "classics," were topping the charts, I was also listening to B. A. Robertson, and his hits, "Knocked It Off" , and Bang-Bang". (B. A. Robertson, incidentally, was the writer of that fantastically touching song, recorded by MIke And The Mechanics, "The Living Years")
