Ach, vooruit nog eentje dan, zoals te doen gebruikelijk.
In de vanavond geposte video van 10cc maakten de heren Kevin Godley en Lol Creme nog deel uit van de band. Niet veel later verlieten ze die en startten een carrière als duo. Ze scoorden enkele hits, waarvan dit de meest bekende is. En dit is ook meteen het beste nummer dat ze ooit gemaakt hebben. Ook dit nummer heeft een grandioos goede tekst, die ik dus bijvoeg.
