Golden Oldies

I must confess, I was listening to a golden oldie radio station in the car today and this song came on...

I cannot begin to tell you how much I love it...
a) because it makes me want to spin around on a dancefloor with a younger John Travolta (the man could move) and;
b) because it takes me back to the days of the drive-in.

Memories of being forced to lie on the floor covered by blankets as we drove by the ticket booth (my parents were trying to save some money). Memories of feeling excited at the fact that we were out, at night, wearing our pyjamas and robes. Memories of the smell of popcorn mixed in with the smell of our old (not so old back then) Holden. And memories of listening, for the first time, to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (albeit whilst lying on the back seat, under the blanket and pretending to be asleep). I couldn't see a thing but I could hear the music and it has stayed with me for a very long time.

I showed my daughters the clip. They know the song as 'Four Legged Woman' thanks to their Dad's rendition  which has been sung to them once or twice before. They recognised Travolta from Grease. My youngest (a very funky 5 year old) wanted to see more. The girl can move and quite quickly picked up the line dance moves from the following clip.

Enjoy and I dare you not to want to get up and bust some Travolta moves.
