Baby, we should be dancin' back to back tonight

Oh, blessed weekend, you're almost here...

The UK may be suddenly swamped by an Arctic blast - it hit a low of -5C/23F last night, temperatures aren't forecast to get much warmer for days to come, and the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers are suffering as a consequence - but the end of any dreary working week is an excuse for a party!

What better way to start that with an all-time classic - that I have never featured here before [How?! Why?!].

Thank Disco It's Friday!

Liquid Gold - Dance Yourself Dizzy

Have a great (frosty) weekend, dear reader!

So I told a friendly star

It's another Doris Day! The divine Doris is celebrating her 91st birthday, and I think we may need to help her blow out all those candles.

As is my wont at the end of every week - but especially with "our boys" Baby Steve and Houseboy Alex staying a few nights this Easter weekend - we have much partying to plan, and it's time to start bopping!

So, taking our usual "Disco" theme to its extreme, here - with a cover of one of Miss Day's greatest numbers Secret Love - is the effervescent Liquid Gold...

Liquid Gold - Secret Love

And just in case anyone needs reminding of the full glory that was Miss Ellie Hope and her boys, here they are again with their less successful follow up single to their chart-storming Dance Yourself Dizzy - Don't Panic.

Thank Disco It's Friday!

Liquid Gold - Don't Panic

Happy birthday Doris Mary Ann Kappelhoff (born 3rd April 1924)
