lovelytim Posted August 9, 2006 Report Posted August 9, 2006 up up and away in my beautiful balloon wot a brill song by ....... who was it now .... cant think but I think it was writ in the 60s it was the perfect song to slot into a tv variety show back then there was much more variety type shows on tv , lots of groups of dancers like The Young Generation who were a vital ingredient of such shows. and the 60s and 70s had such great music maybe Hot Gossip another dance group were a kind of continuation of that dance group trend where are all these sexy dance groups today ? where are the variety shows ? it looks as though Davina Mcall and her talentless sidekick have taken over the airwaves with endless hours of sleaze and dross for the TV execs its a lot less effort But we are all the loosers in this sleazey game Bring back old Brucie and the London Palladium !
Jazzcat Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 I'm about 99.9% sure that it was written by Jimmy Webb. Definitely a "good time" kind of tune.
