Let Me Take You Dancing, Bryan Adams, 30 years ago.

From Hank's GrooveYard of Forgotten Favorites:


Ever heard a song, maybe a oldie or something off the normal Top 100 track that you really liked but never found out who sang it?

Then, maybe on Sirius satellite radio, you hear it and see the artist and say, WHOA, its a artist you're quite familiar with but you never knew they sang that song.

And to be honest, it doesn't sound like said artist.


I'm listening to a old disco song that I remember from those days and heard on the radio quite a bit. The song was called Let Me Take You Dancing and was a popular dance tune in the day.

But its who sang it that really is the surprise. And you wouldn't know it by listening as the artist was quite young back then, and the studio did speed up the recording slightly to match the normal beats-per-minute for a late 70s disco song, which in turn raised the pitch of the artist's male voice.

The artist..

Lyrics:

From the edge of the city there comes a sound
Makes you wanna turn your head around
Fills you with desire
Sets both your feet on fire

How could you stand to be alone
How could you stay at home so ...

Let me take you dancing
Let me steal your heart tonight
Let me take you dancing
All night long

Strolling through an easy feel
To the motions that make it rock 'n reel
You can learn to fake it
Keep on trying and you're bound to make it

It's gonna turn up upside down
It's gonna spin you 'round so ...

Let me take you dancing
Let me steal your heart tonight
Let me take you dancing
Let me make you feel alright
Hank the Tank
The Rock Ape of the Cape

Cue the Beatle's Birthday Song..Gigi and Laci BIRTHDAY

ITS GIGI and LACI's BIRTHDAY(S):

Well folks, right on the heels of Lisa's graduation are the birthdays of our two adopted daughters, Gigi and Laci. Gigi is now 9 (b-day of May 25th) while Laci is 4 (B-day, May 3rd).

Actually we celebrated both birthdays on May 31st. With Aunt Hughanne's help, we all threw a big party for those two little troublemakers (hehehe!!!). Ah but they still love their Daddy Cool Hank (gluck!!). And not only was it family but classmates of Gigi's and Laci's showed up (Laci is in a Catholic pre-school). In fact Laci's whole class practically showed up. Our first birthdays with the girls.
(And I'm still getting all the Silly String out of my hair, ears, nose and wherever).

Note to Lisa: Don't move away to college yet. We still need your babysitting services. Yeah, right Lisa's probably thinking.

AS FOR THE PICS:
Had to get all the pictures copied over from the Birthday party (my card is 4GB in size). Its getting to be a real fun job (NOT) managing all the photographs from various events and assignments. I think I'm a candidate for the Adobe Lightroom software for photo management. Time to go business shopping again.

MCCAIN YOU.....ahh why ruin this entry blogging about politics. Save it for another blog.
