00:00 [MUSIC - THE MECCA, "THE MECCA"]
00:02 Here's a song about the Mecca.
00:05 Did you ever go to the Mecca?
00:07 Did you ever go to Genovese?
00:09 Did you ever have a girl in an Afghan coat
00:11 and bell-bottom jeans?
00:14 Did you ever dance where the air was at the Mecca on a Friday
00:17 and Saturday night?
00:20 Did you ever walk round in circles,
00:23 up and down them stairs a hundred times a night?
00:27 Drinking tartan beer and lollipops,
00:30 and carding in coke on the rocks,
00:32 maybe shaman, sharibi?
00:36 Scampi in the basket, chicken and chips,
00:39 ox or burger, ox or crisp.
00:40 Did you ever go to the Mecca?
00:42 Just like me.
00:45 Did you ever go to the Mecca?
00:47 Did you ever go to Genovese?
00:49 Did you ever have a girl in an Afghan coat
00:52 and bell-bottom jeans?
00:54 Did you ever dance where the air was at the Mecca
00:57 on a Friday and Saturday night?
01:00 Did you ever walk round in circles,
01:03 up and down them stairs a hundred times a night?
01:07 While a girl steps round the roundabout
01:09 in perfect standing time,
01:12 in her father's horse with her dudes
01:14 with platform shoes to blind,
01:16 in her curly purse and purdies
01:18 and up-pants fitted tight,
01:20 in her tie-dye shirts and tie-dye jeans
01:22 they dance away the night.
01:24 The Sabbath fell, we floored and quaked,
01:27 Mavis or the Slade and Quaid,
01:29 all in stones and purple Elton John.
01:33 City rollers, tartan flares,
01:35 David S. and Curly as well.
01:38 I miss those days now gone.
01:42 Did you ever go to the Mecca?
01:44 Did you ever go to Genovese?
01:46 Did you ever have a girl in an Afghan coat
01:48 and bell-bottom jeans?
01:50 Did you ever dance where the air was at the Mecca
01:53 on a Friday and Saturday night?
01:56 Did you ever walk round in circles,
01:59 up and down them stairs a hundred times a night?
02:03 While girls danced round the roundabout
02:05 in perfect stepping time,
02:07 to the sound of rock and more tone
02:09 in the disco sauce of lime,
02:12 drinking barley wine and soda
02:13 with slush from the machine,
02:16 as they danced round the roundabout
02:18 to the sound of the dancing queen.
02:21 Where at disco time the rock and roll
02:23 under the stairs when I breasted my soul
02:25 were a little kiss here and a little kiss there.
02:29 I'd tell you a lot more but I wouldn't dare.
02:37 Did you ever go to the Mecca?
02:39 Did you ever go to Genovese?
02:41 Did you ever have a girl in an Afghan coat
02:43 and bell-bottom jeans?
02:45 Did you ever dance where the air was at the Mecca
02:48 on a Friday and Saturday night?
02:51 Did you ever walk round in circles,
02:54 up and down them stairs a hundred times a night?
02:58 Yeah, we had some great times at the Mecca, didn't we?
03:05 Great memories then.
03:06 I hope that brought back some great memories for you.
03:08 This is Sherrod.
03:10 See you later, Mac and Faux Singer.
