Peter Sarstedt: Take Off Your Clothes
Report comment to staff
I remember going to discos at a hotel in Durban South Africa in 1969. They always used to play it usually as the last or sometimes the second to last song of the evening when everyone had changed from hectic Rock 'n Roll or doing the Twist to more romantic songs involving dancing in close embrace. It had very suggestive lyrics and was definitely not something sheltered South Africans of those days were used to and was in our day quite shocking! I was not surprised when it was banned but I must say I was disappointed as I used to look forward to it at the end of the evening. It was always a very romantic way to end the evening.
I always thought it was the narrow-minded South African government of the day which had banned it but now I read in Jackie's comment above that it was actually banned by the BBC. I have only heard the song played once since then at a pub in Southbroom on the south coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal about 10 years ago.
I would love to get a copy of a CD or DVD with it on as it would bring back memories. I wish I new of where to get hold of a copy.
