Do The Strand by Roxy Music
“Ok, probably ten gazillion people have posted this Roxy classic already, and it is likely very familiar to you post Velvets music cognoscenti, but I HAVETA include it here. I ADORE this song. In the summer of 1973 I first heard it on the radio and was so knocked out by it. It burrowed its way into my brain folds. I sat near the radio at all hours waiting for it to be played again (as well as other Roxy songs), Wollensak cassette recorder nearby, waiting anxiously so that I might tape it. Finally caught it, but about 3/4 in. Subsequently I played it over and over again in college, each time marveling at how oddly wonderful and invigorating it was. I was a poor college student and couldn't afford luxuries like lps at that point. Anyway, it remains my most favorite. While I count the Fall as my favorite band ever, I have to say that Roxy Music is my second favorite. Deep passion for scores of Fall tunes, but this one is particularly special. Eternal jam for sure.”

Tired of the tango Fed up with fandango Dance on moonbeams Slide on rainbows In furs or blue jeans You know what I mean Do the Strand
Style personified.....
