I have this album, saw the movie with Sting as “Ace Face,” but never much understood the mods & rockers culture it explored.
I cued up the video to a scene where Pete Townshend describes in sound Keith Moon’s drumming. If you’re curious about how things develop you might like this one. 
Arrived at the perfect time last night, a pleasant surprise, thanks!
I don’t think I’d ever heard Jimmy Webb’s recording of that song before, and I just read that he also wrote the song The Three Degrees sang in The French Connection. That one really bounces.
How about The Sound of Philadelphia (TSOP) ft. The Three Degrees?
I hadn’t. The King’s Singers was cool, too. 
Were you a disco dog, Steven? 
If you’re thinkin’ you’re too cool to boogie
Boy, oh boy, have I got news for you
Everybody here tonight must boogie
Let me tell ya, you are no exception to the rule
…
Get down, boogie oogie oogie
Get down, boogie oogie oogie
Get down, boogie oogie oogie
Get down…
Boogie!..
I used to tease my friend, Brother of Big Bad Mike, with that song. He was a disco dog of the first order. 
That’s a new one to me. I kept waiting for the vocals to hit. It’s as if the song itself is a really long intro and reminded me of this:
I think their cover was the first I heard of that song, from their America album, even before I’d heard the Glenn Campbell version. They’re one of those groups I’d like to hear (my parents would actually gather us to watch and listen) whenever they happened to make an appearance on The Tonight Show when Carson hosted. Years later, one of them conducted a choir that I got to sing in, so that was cool even though I think other conductors I’ve been able to work with have been better.
Although disco isn’t really my thing, I did have a song stuck in my head recently for a couple of days after hearing it in a show I was watching:
A catchy tune is a catchy tune, especially when it’s Stellan Skarsgård doing karaoke! 
So you’re a chorister (who knew there was a name for that) nice! 
Once upon a time, I guess. The second favorite child still does that sort of thing and actually makes use of musical talent.
Seems likely you’ve harmonized at some point. 
Two of us is straightforward and fun.
YouTube suggested this, and it made me think of my friend in Edmonton and of @habib 
:
It also made me think of this:
I think the blasts from the iron in the first piece are particularly moving, maybe even enough to thaw The Beeb’s permafrost-encrusted 
…jus’ a little (not too much). 
The blasts from the iron were amazing
That was my favorite part.
My first thought was Beastie Boys (the link is to the “clean” version, but still…
; you have been warned)[1]:
With the dipsy-doodle, the kit and caboodle
The truth is brutal, your grandma’s kugel
That song also has one of my favorite Beastie Boys lyrics:
I’ve got billions and billions of rhymes to flex
'Cause I’ve got more rhymes than Carl Sagan’s got turtlenecks
Then I learned about Ella Fitzgerald and Chick Webb:
When this album was released, I actually bought it twice: the regular version for myself and one labeled with “CLEAN LYRICS / NOTHING SILLY” for my young nephew. He already liked the band’s music because of exposure from his dad. ↩︎
Ridi-do, ridi-do, ridi-do-doodle
Di-di-di-dipsy-doodle
Dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-dipsy-doodle
I believe in God
And I believe that God
Believes in Claude
That’s me
That’s me
In case you did not know, Dionne Warwick and Whitney Houston were cousins.
