"Modern Romance - Platinum Collection
Modern Romance was a UK pop music band, with a distinctive trumpet driven sound, formed in 1981 by previous members of an earlier punk band, Leyton Buzzards. After the first album vocalist Geoffrey Deane was replaced by Michael J Mullins for a more R&B/pop oriented sound. They quickly recorded "Everybody Salsa", which gave them their first UK Top 20 hit and set them at the fore-front of the emerging Latin-American salsa craze which broke out that summer.
Here you have an 18- song REAL GREAT COMPILATION of most of their singles (I don't understand why they missed MOVE ON / 1984). Excellent sound... And now you can sing...
Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosey, Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosey...
Now when I hear those trumpets and congas start to play
My heart starts a dancing down that Argentina way
I see Carmen Miranda; she's shuffling on her feet
She's just another lover of that saucy salsa beat.
Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosey, Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosey...
Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosey, to help me through the day.
