I was going through my 7" singles in the loft this afternoon and came up with this little gem by Oggy, it is of course the better worse version of Clog Dance backed with the classic Kangaroo Hop. I can't find a youtube video of the song (can't think why) so recorded it on my iPad and uploaded the file to my dropbox, see the link below. I think even vlogdance will admit it runs a close second to a song of the same name by Violinski    Clog Dance By Oggy |

Groovy!  Heck, and the coincidences don't stop there: the cover has a dwarf dressed in blue! "C'mon everybody! Sing along! Whistle along!"  |

It’s a classic isn’t it Helmut83  it was listening to tracks like this which gave the inspiration for the animals on Raining in the Farm. I don’t understand why it wasn’t a world wide hit  |

Exactly. In the same way ELO took over from The Walrus, EAO took over from Clog Dance II. I don’t understand why it wasn’t a world wide hit In a world where Ed Sheeran's "Shape of you" is a world hit, not being a world hit might actually speak well of the song. |

Letting you off this time, Mr Wimp - at least you've never been rude about Turn To Stone.

How is recording and the song for you on my phone and sending you the video being rude? Hmm, that's true, Helmut83, you did that. But only while hiding under your seat, with both fingers in your ears.  And you're the only person who dares make smurf/gnome comparisons. These cannot go unadmonished.  |

Thanks, Horacewimp. Gad, this is awful!  I assume you have this record because of your girls? Or was it a song played at your wedding reception to help entice guests onto the dance floor? Sounds like Ringo calling out the instructions. |

These cannot go unadmonished. Fair enough, Vlog bach. But hey! I didn't specify which of the smurfs I was referring to! While being compared to Grouchy, Greedy or Clumsy might not be the most flattering thing, the comparison to others more virtuous smurfs is actually something praiseful. |

Sounds like Ringo calling out the instructions. From memory I found it in a bargain bin and purchased it because of the title thinking it might have had a connection to the Violinski version. I was sadly disappointed, has my Birmingham accent turned into a Liverpudlian one? |

Yes, I do think so, Horace "Ringo" Wimp.

, but we're OK. 
Apparently it's quite hard to see them with the naked eye, you need to be looking through a camera or other type of lens?
