OK, mind has gone completely blank - I can't think of the name of a song and I don't know any 'proper' lyrics to it. So, first one to get it wins the respect of the board!

I'm 99% sure it hails from the 60's and it's a male artist - black, I think. I'm talking Otis Redding or James Brown kind of sound. It's a funky fast paced dance number with horns blaring every few bars, pauses for hand claps and the only bit of lyric i know is:
"Naa na na na na, na na na na, na na na naa na na na na..."

HELP ME!!

Ahh, I think it is Wilson Pickett - memory's returning very slowly...

It's Land of 1000 Dances:

Mash potato, do the alligator
Put your hand on your hips, yeah
Let your backbone slip
Do the Watusi

Wow! Uh! You know I feel alright! Huh! I feel pretty good y'all
Uh! Huh!
Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na
Come on y'all, let's say it one more time
(Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na)
Ooow!

Playing, it is a habit
With long tall Sally
Twistin' with Lucy
Doin' the Watusi
Roll over on your back
I like it like that
Do that Jerk-uh
Watch me work y'all
Ow! Do it!
Wow! Do it!
Just watch me do it

Not sure i understand what you mean by that ? is this sarcasm or have i read it wrongly. If you are referring to us moderators as a board then i think i can speak for all of us by saying yes Ben most certainly does have our respect.

I stand corrected and humble apologies AGAIN, Christmas rush and all that mumble mumble mumble,moderating thousands of posts, 10 foot of snow
I do actualy have a sense of humour AND i have in fact never deleted a post ! and i certainly would nt take the fun away from you by deleting a post where i had made a mistake, so enjoy it while you can. Must disagree with you that deleting posts is a habit here and that there is lack of sense of humour on here because theres funny posts made everyday. Have a good xmas
