A song to put us in a good mood today

did not like it. it's like one of my songs I sing in the mornings when i wash in the shower. rambling story of youthful folly.

Does anyone under thirty know who valentino was?

I think peep of that era would see it differently zorro but you stay in your bad mood if it suits you.

started whistling the tune, kept sliding into the beach boys Kokomo? check out the beachboys on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJWmbLS2_ec

very similar to my ear. different tempo. who went first?

Not sure when it was written but Kokomo was released in 1988.
I was only joking from an album released by Rod in the 70s.
A couple of chords in parts very similar but overall quite different.
Seems really dated whilst Rod's still fresh and relevant.

BTW Could have been written with Kenny Mann in mind.
I wonder if they are friends.

very beautiful and nostalgic song akabula. When Rod sings it seems so easy and natural.
Brings back memories of youth and happy times, but the sounds stab too sweetly.

It does capture how I felt at that age.

BTW although a shortish clip Brazil does it justice and definitely relates to it.

remember the time we went to the clubs and filled our boots,
pulled the girls and ate junk fooods. aruba, aruba. kokomo.

Rods lyrics much much better.

Me and the boys thought we had it sussed
Valentinos all of us
My Dad said we looked ridiculous
But boy we broke some hearts

Brilliant stuff and sung as only he can.

Never found a compromise
Collected lovers like butterflies
Illusions of that grand first prize
Are slowly wearin' thin
Susie, baby, you were good to me
Giving love unselfishly
But you took it all too seriously
I guess it had to end

give me more than ten seconds?

nah don't - i'm too tired - going to bed.

Lovely day up here so off out.
Gonna go to one of the Isles for a nice meal.

some pickle on top today Matron?

Love it.... x

Father and son, from time for the tillerman, beautiful. Nigel Hawthtorn had a hand in the songs creation. aka go to Rothesay and see if the Islamic (bleeding heart) implantations have changed the place one jot, That local authorities have provided free accommodation, cash hand-outs and even free bikes for the Syrians on an Island with high rates of unemployment and poverty, crankie has deffo backed a loser here I believe they will be seen off. Am I wrong??

Long John Baldry!! how many here can claim to have seen him live, Rod and Reg (Dwight) owe him a great deal.

Ap, T.R.A.H, must be one of the greatest venues in the world.

Lots of unrest in Rothesay Foxy.
Private accommodation laid on for the immigrants along with bank accounts (fully loaded) and gifts galore.
Local residents non too happy especially those unable to get housing themselves.
Lovely wee place btw.

At one time Baldry was billed as ; Long John Baldry, Julie Driscoll and the Steam Packet with Rod Stewart.
