I'm In the Mood for Dancing

In the One Direction film, This Is Us, during one scene Niall pushes Harry in a garbage can.  While in said garbage can, Harry is singing, saying, "Romancin', ooh givin' it all tonight."  So I became curious.  I thought, What is that boy singing?  I cracked out Google.

I searched for those lyrics, and up came a song by Anglo-Irish group, The Nolans.  The group originally consisted of parents Tommy and Maureen, sons Tommy and Brian, and daughters Anne, Denise, Maureen, Linda, and Bernadette.  But starting in 1974, the daughters started performing as the Nolan Sisters.  The group included the youngest sister Coleen.

Their most famous song, "I'm In the Mood for Dancing" (the song Harry Styles was singing in the garbage can), was recorded by The Nolan Sisters and was released in November of 1979.  In Australia, the song peaked at 43, in Ireland at 2, Japan at 1, the Netherlands at 3, New Zealand at 5, and in the UK at 3.

When you listen to the song, you automatically think '70s.  In some cases you may think '80s, but I don't, mainly because it still has a disco-y sound.

Chapel of Love

A quick congratulations to One Direction's Zayn Malik and Little Mix's Perrie Edwards on their engagement!  I just found out this morning and am very, very happy for them!!

Edwards was seen wearing the ring yesterday at the premiere of 1D's new movie This Is Us.  Perrie's mother, Debbie Duffy, confirmed the news and said she is "over the moon."  While we see most people are happy about the exciting news, I bet some 1D fans are quite jealous.  Don't listen to them, Perrie and Zayn.  The two of you deserve the very best!!

Best Song Ever

There is a new One Direction song out and even though they will be releasing a third album in the near future, their sound is not changing - usually singers change their sound a little bit by now.  The music video, which was released earlier today, is a promo for their movie This Is Us which will hit theaters at the end of August.  I have to say that I am never disappointed with One Direction's music videos.  This one is just as funny and creative as the others.


The song talks about how they each danced with a girl to "the best song ever," but he can't seem to remember the words.  To him, though, remembering the words doesn't matter because he "won't forget her."
