Here it is, noon on Christmas Eve, and guys are starting to think about getting their shopping done. As we roll on into the holiday, I hope yours is safe, peaceful, and healthy, both physically and mentally. If you need to work off some calories here’s a song to boogie to. Get Up and Boogie - Silver Convention Disco in a nutshell. I have to tell you, I don’t know if this is technically classified as an instrumental or not. It has fewer words than Silver Convention’s other big hit (“Fly Robin Fly”), and a lot of people called that an instrumental. Silver Convention was a group from (West) Germany, and they had a few more hits in Europe than they did in America. As with a lot of acts in the 70s, they hit, got you dancing, then disappeared by the time the strobe light faded. Disco in a nutshell. Get Up and Boogie Written by Sylvester Levay and Stephan Prager Recorded by Silver Convention From Get Up and Boogie, 1976 That’s right!

@rebelann — mid-70s, when he had 500 pairs of glasses.

Everyone wanted to be Elton John, but since they couldn't be, they all dressed like him.

I'm so glad I'm not at Walmart anymore! I hated all the last minute rushing about! Merry Christmas!

Especially the people who showed up with two carts’ worth of things on their list ten minutes before closing, right? Merry Christmas to you and Pretty!

Thanks for the link. Love the fluffy legs! Have a great Christmas but don't eat too much or you'll need to boogie some more.

They’ve really got some standard disco moves going on, don’t they. I hadn’t heard this one.

That screams "70s" almost as much as bell bottoms!
