We’re going on a holiday now
Gonna take a villa, a small chalet
On the Costa del Magnifico
Where the cost of living is so low
Yeah, we’re gonna be so neat
Dance to the Eurobeat
Yeah, we’re gonna be so cool
Twisting by the pool
Sitting in a small cafe now
Swing, swing, swingin to the cabaret
You wanna see a movie, take in a show now
Meet new people at the disco
Yeah, we’re gonna be so neat
Dance to the Eurobeat
Yeah, we’re gonna be so cool
Twisting by the pool
And we can still get information
Reading all about inflation
And you’re never gonna be out of reach
There’s a call-box on the beach
Mmm, you’re gonna look so cute
Sunglasses and bathing suites
Be the baby of my dreams
Like the ladies in the magazine
Yeah, we’re gonna be so neat
Dance to the Eurobeat
Yeah, we’re gonna be so cool
Twisting by the pool
I’m a twisting fool
Just twisting, yeah twisting
Twisting by the pool
Surprised these girls could hold their breath for a good amount of seconds as while underwater they were watching the band play and being silly in the camera.
It is nice song like most from Knophler, he is my favorite guitarist and he never tried to be fancy or "spiritual" or anything, just played from the soul, this song is little bit parody on commercial radio pop songs, he wanted to do parody and it really became hit pop song, I heard this song so often on radio in my teens, not many notice it is parody song, his guitar is supreme like always and specially like his solo, beautiful harmonies. Oh, as teenager I simply loved watching those ladies beautiful legs, made me feel high ;)
Terry Williams awesome drum sound! Also love the shots of John and Hal together at the mic, seems they had a lot of fun shooting this video. Must be because of all the ladies :D
Mark Knopfler wrote this song with showaddywaddy in mind to record it but they never did its said that he was a big fan (and who can blame him for that)
