Song Stuck In My Head This Week - 27th December '09 - Bay City Rollers - Shang-A-Lang

A little late this week but, heck, it's Christmas.

This week's song got planted in my head courtesy of some of the regulars at my friends new pub.

Sometimes the best bit about music is when you can sing along with people and enjoy the music and this song gave me one of those moments this week.

Bay City Rollers made some really catchy pop tunes in the 70s and had a huge following in the UK as well as being successful in the rest of the world including the US. However, success was fleeting and they were as quick to fall out of fashion as they were to rise to success in the first place.

'Shang-A-Lang' is a good track to sum up the fun of the band, however, and I hope you enjoy it!
