Here's a song I had long forgotten about. In 1976, the British group Brotherhood of Man entered Eurovision's Song of Europe contest and won with this cute little ditty...
Such a sweet and innocent little number. Brotherhood of Man had other hits and apparently still tours today, though I think this may have been the pinnacle of their success. My friend Joann, who pointed this out to me today, says it's like Abba and Tony Orlando and Dawn had a baby. 70s acts really seemed to have an affection for cheesy dance steps and cutesy lyrics. I tried listening to their other songs, but none rang a bell like this one.
I guess I give them credit for being able to dance and lip sync at the same time (I'm guessing they weren't actually singing this while they were on Eurovision). Once again, I feel older than dirt, especially since I was three (going on four) when this was first unleashed upon the masses.
The 70s were fun... especially if you were just a wee one, like I was. Now I wish I could go to a 70s era Wendy's and have a Frosty.
We were actually living in England when this aired...

Another hit, "Figaro", from 1978...

And their first hit, "United We Stand"...
Here's an updated version from 2015!
