Love story 74 – ‘Daddy Cool’
Way back in the Inna days, Anthony’s mates used to come over and they’d crank up the stereo and listen to Bony M. Even though I would be in the house with Inna, we could both hear the music – loud and clear. She would grimace and I would grin. The following is a youtube of one favourite. It looks so funny now!

Love story 75 – ‘Staying alive‘
I’m not sure if my facts are right here but I think it was the BeeGees who made falsetto an okayish thing for male singers to do. This clip is, for me, hilarious, poignant and nostalgic and reminds me of when Anthony took me to the drive-in to see Saturday Night Fever. At the time, I was still a naive teenager so, while he sat behind the steering wheel drinking a beer or two, I sat primly next to him, alarmed by all of the f-words in the movie, for which (can you believe it?) Anthony kept apologizing for.
Staying alive.

[Note: For anyone reading these love story posts for the second time, since I had them in a separate blog, this is the last of those and, from now on, they will be new and hopefully fresh. Hope you get another laugh out of these two!]

Two …. tracks that I love too – “Staying alive” – I listen to nearly every day – they bring back my year aboard “the little red ship” http://wp.me/p293Pw-6m – taking me around the world.
How wonderful – thanks for this!
They will never make music today .. that will last so long as the music back then has done.
Very true!
Stayin’ Alive was one of my favourites – love it … and that Drive in scene is very funny 🙂
lovi it too …
Oh Julie, this was PRECIOUS! I watched the Staying Alive because, believe it or not, I have never watched it; never!! Oh, their voices so high!!! I loved this entertainment, thanks. 🙂
At the time it was wonderful and still has resonance in many ways even for a giggle!
Now I’m really excited.. look so forward to the next…
Oh no – the pressure is on!
lol – Daddy Cool – lol
love the BeeGees- they are the music of my life
I have always been embarrassed to admit I like the Beegees so I’m glad I am not alone – hehe!
I like embarassing music – apparently it is very uncool to like disco but I just loved dancing in my youth
I have always been too clumsy to dance ha!
never stopped me – I think a few shots of tequila helped
I’ll have to try that!
OMG, I had forgotten that walk…. John Travolta really had that “walk” down, didn’t he???! Enjoyed this! Thanks!
