    1979... I sat in front of the record player and listened to the single over and over again... pure childhood memory!!! I was 9 years old and didn't know what a video or a stream was at the time. I didn't even know those words... I like to remember that time...😍

    Love this song - remember it well as a kid in 1979. I'd never seen this video before, only the promo clip. The smile on Cesar's face looks genuine, like he's really enjoying this. I love the way the props dance and get into the rhythm towards the end.

    Love how some of the supporting cast are more in to this than others. Sherlock Homes is having a great time but the woman playing Cleopatra is giving it the full "I didn't spend six years at drama school just to end up in something like this..." vibe 😃

      All ten look as though they were dragged off the street and told to pick a costume. Coupled with B A's hand over the mouth to mimic laughter this really is cringeworthy to watch

    This timeless classic entered the UK charts near the end of the 1970s. Being old enough to remember the 1960s even that decade didn't have the complete tapestry of music as the 70s, from start to finish. Knew just how popular by work colleagues in the millennium having posters near their desks of Elvis Presley, Abba, and David Bowie. All in the charts before they were born.
