The Wanderer CAN sound good then Actually I saw Dion do it on Joolz Holland a while back. Probably that New Year Hootenanay thing. He did a cracking version as well.

Is there anybody out there who hasn't done this song at one stage or other during their careers ? Think the first version I ever heard of it was from Leif Garrett (that blonde American surfer boy, who did a few covers in the late 70s and then disappeared again). The video you've posted is better though craydarr .

And she came straight back with Runaround Sue. The 12" version she was at pains to say Anyone notice the irony in any of this?

I think that was his one big UK hit. So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the height of disco. For those who lived through it. And survived

Sad thing is I think I quite liked it as the time, mind you I was very young. I daren't listen to it now just in case I still do.

Had completely forgotten about that one - don't think it charted here either, at least in the top 20. I do remember Run Around Sue though ..
