It's been included on a couple of play lists recently - the Osmonds and Crazy Horses.

Good track, but does anyone play this often?
robbiedj
Nope! tongue.gif


And, quite honestly, can't stand it. Only gets played if requested.
Andy Westcott
Can't remember the last time.

Actually I bought the Osmonds Greatest Hits cd recently because I was doing a 70's themed night. I was going to play Crazy Horses because I do think it's a good song, much heavier than you'd imagine for them as well. I prefer their more Jackson Five type hits myself. Both Donny Osmond and Osmonds seem to manage to tour quite often, so yeah for the right crowd I'd chuck it on among the Sweet, Slade etc.

But then I'll always try something different...
Norfolk DJ
Can't really understand why it's turned up on two playlists, anyway as there are paying me, I will play it at some point during the evening boff.gif
llcooljoe
I think it's gonna make a come back. You heard it here first! boff.gif

I'm with Robbie on this track.
Not my bag but if the client wants, the client gets.

I did an 18th Birthday party some time ago and it was requested. They went crazy scared.gif

Almost immediately after it finished I had a swarm of teenagers asking me to play it again. Strange because apart from that one tune almost every other request was for current chart, R n B or dance music.

Don't think it's been asked for (or played since though)
Norfolk DJ
it will be interesting to see what the response is like.

Have it on vinyl somewhere in the depths of the garage.

Never requested
Never played.

It's an ok track good for nostalgia not much else
Paul Smith
Let's see how brave you are - tell them you don't have it but would be happy to play 'Puppy Love' or 'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool' instead tongue.gif

Help having a flashback of seeing Little Jimmy Osmond on TOTP

Will be dreaming tonight of Marie Osmond singing Paper Roses.

Crazy horses is a classic. Nuff said.
Andy Westcott
A classic because it's old, Steve??!

Actually it's up there with offerings by The Sweet, Mud & (brace yourselves) The Bay City Rollers.

Stands out a bit as it's well removed from the Osmonds' usual offerings.

Agree, has been requested at my last two gigs, one of which was an 18th b'day party.
Norfolk DJ
It's not just me then, it must be making a comeback
llcooljoe
What did I say!!!! kid.gif

You wait it will be the Partridge Family next!

There actually are some great rockin tracks from the 70's that were thought of as real cornball stuff at the time, but now looking back they actually sound ok. I think the Rubettes cut some great tracks that are much better than their sugary "Sugar Baby Love".
Andy Westcott
Sugar Baby Love? Sugary??!

Great song, and still reminds me of the school bus...
llcooljoe
Yeah it is a great song, but it's still sugary!! Doesn't make it bad.

I saw the Rubettes in concert a few years back and was amazed that Alan Williams could still hit those high notes. I suppose I just prefer songs like their "I Can Do It', "Foe Dee Oh Dee" and "Juke Box Jive" etc.
RichardP
Ahh, I used to play Bassheads - 'Is Anybody Out There?' and that contains a sample of the guitar riff from Crazy Horses.
Corabar Steve
As does Can U dig it by PWEI

There is a Utah Saints remix of Crazy Horses. Quite good - not new, a few years old.

Rubettes, How did he get those high notes rolleyes.gif What a great 70's tune, hot weather, new motorbike, I remember this tune been played to death on the fairgrounds along with Waterloo, Shang a Lang, Devil Gate Drive etc.
Yeh' I know I must be sad, it's an age thing oops.gif
