Best line from Saturday Night Fever: Tony’s dad slaps his head, and Tony says “I spent a long time working on my hair, and you hit it – you hit me in the hair.”
Just one thing I thank the 70s for.

I suppose most chaps would sing that high too in such nut-hugger trousers. I remember them on Ed Sullivan singing harmoniously like normal guys. Are they all dead? Were they all triplets? When my old boss, Fat Jim had his house robbed the thieves took every thing except a Bee-Gees record they left on the living room floor, when years later his wife bolted she took every thing except the record, left on the floor. Walt, I’m concerned, do you have a lot of spare time? It was genius finding this video to analize, Thanks.
LikeLike
Well, you know it wasn’t me who robbed him. I would have probably just taken the record.
Yes, you might think it wouldn’t be possible to sing any other way in such trousers. Probably it was the pants that killed some of them. Lack of circulation, you see.
No, I absolutely do not have enough time for this type of thing. But someone has to do it. It’s important work, so you’re welcome.

I thought there were some cool scenes in the Attack of the Clones!
LikeLike
Agreed. But cool scenes don’t necessarily make a good movie. Or at least a whole movie good. Or at least I don’t think so. Though I could be wrong. But I think those last three SWs were pretty rippable. And I was weened on the first three. I was fed them at a young age, you see. Actually, they are all pretty rippable. But I imprinted on the first three. I rip them with love. But the middle three I rip like a wicked warrior.

You have a great point. And I love the sound of ripping. First RippingMovieReview Thursday. Maybe we should do a newer StarWars sometime?

Yes, they are ripe for it. Although that one about the Empire striking back is emminently rippable, too. With love, of course.

This bought back happy memories, like queueing up to go and see ‘Saturday Night Fever’ at the cinema, Platform Shoes and flared jeans! I didn’t have the big hair and put the poor state my feet are now in, fair and squarely on wearing those Platform Shoes, but…oh, Happy Days! I think I saw the movie at least 5 times because I just loved the music in it. My favourite track from the album was ‘A Fifth of Beethoven’ by Walter Murphy. Wonder what ever happened to him?

Well, I’m sure someone knows what happened to Mr. Murphy, but that someone is not Wikipedia. Isn’t the YouTubes thingy great for time travel? I thought you might get a kick out of it.

Tight white pants. Ha ha! My daughters fled the room when they saw the video. Your play-by-play was great too! I kind of like the song now (I despised it back then).

My daughters would probably stare for a moment and then ask me to put on something more interesting. They have a while yet before they are old enough to want to flee, and even longer before they appreciate comedy.

You had my son examining Barry’s trousers very carefully there – was that where 70s men kept their hamsters, then?
Yes, poor Barry of the lion’s mane hair is last Gibb standing, the twins Robin and Maurice sadly no longer with us. I’m sure they were Ten Pound Poms, emigrating to Oz when they were kids – and a badly behaved bunch of deliquents they were.
Thanks for tearing my boy away from Minecraft for a couple of minutes and for making us sing ‘Ah, ah, ah, ah,’ together. Made me smile 🙂

Now, I don’t think I ever called attention to anyone’s trousers in this one, but they are certainly noteworthy. I’m glad I could do something for the family. You’re welcome!! Many happy ‘ah, ah, ah, ahs’ to you and yours.
