| Quote Seventies red="Seventies red"A few song lyrics from a seventies/eighties group called the sweet (us oldies remember) titled little Willy, im sure someone with a little imagination could change the lyrics accordingly to accomodate big Willi instead of little, the original lyrics are as follows>>.
unfortunately im not allowed to post a link to the utube song origin but you can type in, little willy by the sweet and listen for yourself, just a suggestion.
North side, east side
Little Willy really wears the crown,
 he's the king around town
Dancing,
 glancing
Willy drives them silly with his star shoe shimmy shuffle down
Way past one, and feeling alright
'Cos with little Willy round they can last all night
Hey down, stay down, stay down down
Well I was born in the 70's and ant got a clue who the sweet are what else did they sing
'Cos little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home'" |

What!!, you were born in the seventies and you dont know of the sweet!, they only sold more than 50 million records during their time which started during the very early seventies and ended as a houshold name by the early eighties. www.squidoo.com/glamrock-sweet-videos
They were originaly better known for their glam rock image with songs like Blockbuster, Hellraiser,Teenage rampage, Ballroom blitz which incidently was used as the track to the film waynes world, all of these records reached either number 1-2 and three in the charts during that period.
They also had a heavy rock side to them which i particularly liked with songs such as set me free and need a lot o loving which was the B side to Blocbuster, i actualy saw them on stage when i was nineteen years old and they were one of the best live bands ive seen and ive seen a few in my time, they were one of the best harmony groups around, in fact many of their harmonies were later copied by Queen, you only need to go on utube and read some of the comments attached to their videos to see how good they were. |

| Chinn and Chapman were of course the writers of many of The Sweets hits , as well as for a number of other 70's acts - Mud , Suzi Quattro etc.
'Action' was self penned by The Sweet IIRC. Not a bad ditty.
Anyone who , some years back , went in White Oss near closing time on Sunday nights will remember a certain rendition of 'Ballroom Blitz' being sung by a number of Rovers' 'faces'. Happy Days.  |
