One time HERC was somewhere and this song came on and it was incredible, everyone just started grooving, although he cannot say with any degree of certainty we were all reggae dancin'. Some sort of street fair or park fiesta? The way he remembers it, it was almost like a choreographed flash mob, though those didn't exist in the mid to late Eighties when he thinks he saw what he remembers seeing. According to the charts, "Ooh La La (Let's Go Dancin'" was released in the Autumn and peaked in the Winter. HERC contends that if it had been released in the Spring or Summer, it would have been Top 10 for sure instead of #30 on the Pop charts.
You may recall that Kool & the Gang appeared in HERC's Summer Single Parade back at #76, and here they are again. And again. Whenever HERC hears "Let's Go Dancin' (Ooh La La La)", he's gotta hear "Take My Heart (You Can Have It If You Want It)".
Kool & the Gang songs could soundtrack a whole slew of HERC's Summer Memories, and there's a third song in today's mini-mix. "Get Down On It".
