Desmond Dekker - Get Up Edina


The inimitable Desmond Decker, accompanied in the video by some blokes who've probably had too much Vodka.

My favourite DD song; not so sure about the 'dad dancing'. Actually, on reflection, I think the dancing is wonderful.

  1. That joyful video reminds us that a lot of music should be danced to as we well as listened to. For the body as well as the ears.

    1. They do seem to be having fun; those that could stay upright anyway!

  2. Drunken display is never attractive.
    They might well regret having a video for all to display.
    Potential employers/financial institutions/insurers (and others) take this stuff into account.

    2. Drunken display is not relegated to just one race or nationality.
      Today it is poor judgement.
