    Lyrics:
    I don't want to lose you, this good thing
    That I got 'cause if I do
    I will surely, surely lose a lot
    'Cause your love is better
    Than any love I know
    It's like thunder, lightning
    The way you love me is frightening
    You better knock, knock on wood, baby
    Ooh, baby, ooh
    Yes, I'm not superstitious about ya
    But I can't take no chance
    I got me spinnin', baby
    You know that I'm in a trance
    'Cause your love is better
    Than any love I know
    It's like thunder, lightning
    The way you love me is frightening
    You better knock, knock, knock on wood, baby
    Ooh, baby, ooh
    (You better knock, knock, knock on wood)
    (Think you better knock, knock, knock on wood)
    (Think you better knock, knock, knock)
    Ooh, baby, ooh
    It's no secret about it
    'Cause with his loving touch
    He sees to it that I get enough
    Feel his touch all over
    You know it means so much
    It's like thunder, burstin' lightning
    The way you love me is frightening
    You better knock, knock, knock on wood, baby
    Ooh, baby, ooh
    (Think you better knock, knock, knock on wood)
    (Think you better knock, knock, knock on wood)
    (Think you better knock, knock, knock on wood)
    (Think you better knock, knock, knock on wood)
    (Think you better knock, knock, knock on wood)
    (Think you better knock, knock, knock on wood)
    (Think you better knock, knock, knock on wood)
    (Think you better knock, knock, knock on wood)

    1979. Whyalla, Australia. I was in my final year (matric) at High School and on 'the Edge of Seventeen' see what I did there..? 😁 when the phenomenal and beautiful, Amii dropped this song. It was on the radio, constantly, along with two other massive songs of 1979, Hot Suff and Bad Girls, by the Queen 👑 Donna Summer. I remember, these and Knock On Wood being played at our end of year, school social, a fabulous night at the massive school hall and we all went dressed nice, not like these overblown, ridiculously costly, Prom nights. Absolute halcyon days 💖

    Back in the day I used to work (and spend virtually ALL my waking hours on the weekends) at a disco. It was SO much fun and all my friends were there! Sometimes we'd go on break and we'd hear that Knock On Wood "triplet" beat (three drumbeats in the time of one beat) getting mixed into some other song and we'd all SPRINT for the dance floor because we knew it was coming, and we were willing to dance the 5 to 10 minutes until it finally DID get mixed in and become the primary song being played. Oh, how I miss those simpler, easier times.

Anyway, there was one really great song where there was a policeman’s whistle in the song, and I can’t remember the song. I thought it was a Donna Summer disco tune, but I can’t seem to find it. Do you remember the song with that whistle sound in it?

    I remember seeing this for the first time on TV in the spring of 1979 when I was 16, at my uncle's place. Coolest (and trippiest) thing I'd ever seen in my entire life at the time. It's amazing how well this video has aged over the space of 43 years.

    i remember hearing it on the fairground in 1979/80 on the waltzers i was about 7 years old in infants school as i loved disco music 🎶 as my mum & dad played this song 🎵 plus donna summer and other 1970s/80s soul/disco/motown music 🎶 they was the better times to be growing up into as we had respect for people and our parents & elders & had manners!!! 🔊🔈🔉🥳🥳🥳
