One Track Summer #1: How To Keep Your Husband Happy

As we approach the summer holidays, I'm going to have less time than usual to blog. Partly because of summer fun, partly because I've got another writing project I want to get cracking with. I've spent the last few weeks getting ahead on Snapshots and Namesakes so they should take care of themselves... but in between, other regular features will probably be on hold.

I will be posting the final edition of the Cancel Culture Club soon though - so if anyone else has any thoughts on whether Dreadlock Holiday by 10CC needs cancelling, please let me know by the end of this weekend.

To help fill the gaps, there will be a series of short posts in which I play one song I've been listening to recently and tell you why I like it.

Let's start with this...

The Cosmopolitans were a New York new wave / burlesque dance band famous for their live shows featuring live shows featuring go-go dancing, baton routines and "buffoonish acts". There's not enough buffoonish acts in pop music these days. Their most popular single (above) offered some useful, if tongue-in-cheek, advice for young women everywhere.

They also enjoyed Wild Moose Parties...

OK, so that was two tracks. I've already broken this feature's only rule. Bodes well...
