On The Other Hand - Ho-tel Mo-tel Holiday Iiinn
I still have the 12" full 15 minute version of this - and still know ALL the words - it's an absolute classic and check out the moves too. This is a rare recording at some venue called the Soap Factory in 1978. Enjoy - or skip to the next post if you don't like it.
OR - have a recap on LISTEN WITH ROCKMOTHER while you are patiently waiting for the
forthcoming podcast on slitswitch.

Oh yes I remember this one.
I knew a band called 'The Herbs' and they nicked this bassline for their song 'Trumpton Rap'.
I remember my sister playing this about 1 billion times when it came out.
Something very sweet about boasting about your 'colour TV' these days...
Ister - I think it's been nicked for loads of things hasn't it?
Annie - yes - plasma tv with surroundsound wouldn't sound quite right would it? I can't believe I still know all the words to the 12" version. I copied them into the back of my English book in a lesson once - tragic.
Mmmm, what to wear tonight...I know! Black leotard and a gold belt.
With a bip-bop-bibbety-bop and a bip-bop bibetty-boo....
oh - i luuurve this. put it on my blog just before christmas - wrappers delight - geddit?
and dja know what's also great about it (apart from everything)? the women don't look like skanky ho's. ahhh - innocent days!
Arabella - hmm - sounds good. Don't forget your velour plaited headband will you?
Sink sink socks - f**K off and don't come here agian
Mad Muthas - yes - I still LOVE it - it was the bedrock of so many basslines over the last 20 years - Chic, Grandmast Flash and The Furious Five et al ad infinitum...
