I remember all the acts in the chart rundown but not this song. Yes, I wouldn’t mind journeying back to 1972 at the moment but I think we have selective memories and just remember the good stuff. None of this malarkey back then!Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671033552961486737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-19397236960310939372020-12-09T23:16:56.449+00:002020-12-09T23:16:56.449+00:00I'm becoming slightly obsessed with 1972, Bria...I'm becoming slightly obsessed with 1972, Brian; this evening I found myself watching Manchester City v Manchester Utd from November of that year; not knowing the result I watched the whole thing as if it was live. And I loved every minute of it.<br /><br />Juan was having a great time doing that video was he not? One can only wonder how that day panned out for him...

Some of the worst dancing ever captured on film in human history, happening in front of massive photos of Clodagh Rodgers, Perry Como and East of Eden - you couldn't make it up.
