CHORUS : A heartbeat, it's a lovebeat And a lovebeat is a good vibration Oh, a heartbeat is a lovebeat And when we meet , it's a good sensation

I thought I was the only one who remembered that song, LOL.

[Chickensoup]

I first heard it in a disco. It danced well.

I suppose FUNKY in the title would have been a tipoff.
Nres
But I actually do not understand what differentiates funk from other music genres

Easy Keith Richards.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

“COVID came from Ozzie!” (I’m surprised the ChiComs didn’t try that lie. They tried everything else!)

[Hot Tabasco]

Keith Richards

[gundog]

”You know what I heard the other day?”

[RebelTXRose]

“BEN”
it was a worse movie... ugh!

[dfwgator]

Bill Wyman is 86.

Thanks for posting. Just downloaded from Apple Music to add to my 70’s playlist. I love that playlist. Happy memories for when Im having a beer on my deck.

Would you believe Keef’s was the first name I was looking for ? ;-D

I HATED that song when it was popular. WRKO in Boston must have played it ten times a day for a couple of months or so.

Today it brings back memories of more innocent times so I do thank you for posting and will bump this thread accordingly.

By the way, alt-rockers The Replacements did a surprisingly good rocking cover of that song.

I think Ozzy developed an immunity to rabies at some point in his career. He's done way more disgusting things by the way. He may actually rival Keith Richards in longevity only because nothing seems to be able to kill him.

Anyway, I found this clip of the DeFranco Family performing this song live on TV. Young Tony really puts his heart into the performance but the rest of the family are as stiff and wooden as can be.

The clip is worth it just for the very solemn and dignified introduction by the TV host. You'd think he was introducing the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra featuring Pavarotti or something.

It's a bubble-gum pop act. Relax dude.

Yeah you know you are actually correct about Keith and Ozzy, they seem to be immortal.

I loved this song. It was the first 45 record I ever bought.

...1973...I was 22 years old...
I never heard this song before,
and don’t care to ever hear it again.

[trustverify0128]

I have heard it.

That’s one is not just sappy, it’s STOOPID.
