Silver Convention getting up and proceeding to boogie, 1976.
There’s nothing very deep about Silver Convention and their #2 hit from the summer of 1976, “Get Up And Boogie.” But you’ll have a tough time not singing along. There’s pretty much only four words in the tune. That’s one more than in their previous hit, “Fly, Robin, Fly.”
Get. Up. And. Boogie!
