I love that song too. Very reminding of a certain time and place for me.
i have listened to the song about eighty times now and haven't yet grown weary.
it reminds me of going to a primary school disco and my mother asking me if they played 'live it up'. i was mortified because HELLO, discos were all about the chicken dance.
