Saturday Night's Alright For...


....For Uke (Cover) Fighting!

First, the original, from the 'The Sweet'....


And now, the cover, with secret weapon, a cello!....

The story of the 'The Sweet', and, especially, that of the lead singer Brian Connolly is a sad one...Essentially, it led to the original band's early demise which, I reckon, is why there is so little decent live footage of them on the Interwebz....That's why I decided to go with the weird, gender confused lip-synchier version above....But, looking back at that, I'm reminded of how truly weird it was to be a teenager in the mid-70's...
