Barbara Tucker 'Everybody Dance (The Horn Song)'

Chart Peak: 28

YouTube

We're still in the dance section here, with a track that the sleevenote explains started life as an instrumental club his by DJ Pierre (AKA The Don). As so often seems to happen in the world of dance, a vocal was added in an attempt to attract the attentions of radio programmers (and ultimately chart compilers) and somewhere along the way, unlucky Pierre seems to have lost his credit; I presume he's the guy in the photo trying to eat a microphone.

Unfortunately, the result seems to fall between two stools; unlike the preceding track, which I could appreciate for what it was, this is obviously trying to be something a bit more and doesn't convince. It can't only have been me that wasn't convinced either, since it didn't sell that well. Oh, and if this was one track earlier in the sequence it'd be as close to the end of the album as 'Horny' is to the start. They missed a trick there.
