Bad news for you Membs Your pre- teen lust was actually making the world a worse place . I found this in The Daily Mail archives
SEEMINGLY INNOCENT SPANISH DISCO BAND SPONSOR INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM
Little did we know back in the 70's that when we bougfht Baccara's single , we were inadvertently helping terrorists , Our intrepid reporter discovered that the band were none other than ULRIKE MEINHOFF and CARLOS THE JACKAL with a wig on . The name of the song was a thinly veiled allusion to where there sympathies lay "YASSER , I CAN BOOGIE " with all proceeds going to the P.L.O ! MI5 and the CIA tried to counter-act this by giving huge amounts of cash to THE EAGLES :ABBA and C J MCCALL in an attempt to keep this heinous single as far down the charts as possible - Both band members were eventually taken out by Security Forces and it seemed the problem had been resolved Unfortunately the rights fell into the hands of right- wing Balkan terrorists groups and it hit the charts again in the 90's as "YES SIR , ARKAN BOOGIE" again making money for cowardly causes ! "
It's in the Daily Mail , so it must be true . You've got blood on your hands , Membs !
Ha! That would probably explain the anarchic-terrorist tendencies that emerged in later years after that teen-testosterone spirit gradually subsided making way for revolutionary tendencies, also on discovering the Red Brigade (no, not they're not fire-fighters), Basque Separatist-chic and, er, Gary Numan.
Musical tatses did in fact shift from ELO (a bunch of Brummy 'poof-perms') and Cliff Richard (we don't talk anymore, Harry "Rodger" Webb!) to the proto-dystopian groove thang of The Pleasure Principle and Chorley's own Metamatic, both of which were concocted by a band of underground insurrectionists who decided that Robert Moog was the new Che Guevara, and that ... "one day all music will be made this way...OR ELSE WE BOMB!"
