I do recall that song, and I can sing along with it still! I hadn’t even started dating yet. Amazing how a tune sticks in your memory forever!

I remember my Mum coming home from the shops with this and played it over and over for ages.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
So glad I latched on to the 60s music.
Today’s music is awful in comparison.
Then, it is not made with 60 year olds in mind. :grinning:

If my memory serves me well, the group had a female drummer by the name of Honey Lantree. Wonder what happened to her? :smile:

A great song indeed,as were most from the 60s.
Although the 70s were my favourites.

The band’s name was a play on Honey’s name and her job as a salon assistant. :slightly_smiling_face:
