I like dancing

[Rodamo]

Can anyone help with with a song,it was in the mid 70's,pretty sure they were an aussie band.the line I remember from the song went something like
"snap,I like dancing",or something very simular,it was a long time ago,and my memory fails me ,but I remember ,it was a good song!

Hope the brains trust here can help me

That was a terrific song, and album "One More Squeeze" was pretty good also, but such a departure from their established live work.

I see there are a few Redhouse (Redhouse Roll Band) clips posted on YouTube, more reflective of the onstage performances.

Had a good listen to album, I can hear a lot of  " THE SWEET"  styled vocal arrangements in the harmonies,especailly track 9
which is no mean feat,some of those vocals are quite high,great stuff me thinks....

The guitar riffs and chord progressions seem way ahead of their time (maybe bit of Brian May influence), but still hold up today, I hope they were recognised for this at the time. The only small criticism I have (just my 2 bobs worth) is the actual lyrics in some of the songs.....but then who am I to critisise a hard rocking, tight unit known as REDHOUSE

They were a lot better live, they were the resident band on Wednesday nights at the Croxton Park Hotel Thornbury Vic back in the late 70's don't ask me what year.....me and a few mates always went to the Crox on Wednesday nights...don't know how we went to work the next day....as we were all pissed on those nights

I lived in Vic in mid 70s,wish I went out more!
