Mental as Anything

[RosieH]

I'd just like to say a massive shout out to the man who played Live It Up at Lucky 7s on Thursday night.

If that was you sir, take a bow.

I have no more to add really, so this will be a very short thread, but I just felt it warranted a round of applause.

I have not got a clue what this is about Rosie - but am more than happy to double the size of your thread! :)

[RosieH]

Thanks Mick, you are a gent and no mistake.

Lucky 7s at the Gowlett - someone played Live it Up by Mental as Anything - I could have cried with joy. It was the song I first ever french-kissed to and I don't think I've heard it in 20 years - I was caught up in a Proustian whirl of memory and synaesthesia.

If the dj in question is a forum member, I just wanted to express my incomparable delight.

(I apologise for over-sharing this evening, I find I can't quite help it)

[Mick Mac]

I see - have checked it out and now I remember it from a long time ago too.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I was there on thursday rosie. I didnt play anything but i know 2 guys who did.

[Applespider]

Aw.... I have fond memories of that song too. Thanks for finding that link!

That was a blast from the past, reminds me of my heady college days and remember it being played at many a party. Think it was from the crocodile dundee sound track, i bought the 12' single and remember something from the film being on the cover, cant believe that was 23 years ago. I am very scared :)

[daizie]

great tune! any one know of any disco's /nightclubs that play that kind of music??

[Rolo Tomasi]

Hi Rosie, I was with the guy who played that song. I'll pass on your thanks(tu)

[annaj]

Brilliant, Rosie!

I haven't heard that in a looooong time.

And the forum triumphs again taking your thanks to the DJ responsible.

Marvellous.

Ah... to be fourteen again. Only without puppy fat and spots, obviously.

[bigbadwolf]

[Moos]

[bigbadwolf]

[Moos]

[dulwichdreadlocks]

Shouldn't this 'thread' be conducted by Private Message?

[PeckhamRose]

Didn't they also do "If you leave me can I come too"?

I saw them in the 80s along with another Aussie band called Cold Chisel.

I was going out with an Aussie at the time. He got homesick.
