Do you know the story about "Hang on Sloopy"?

[Robert W]

I was tempted to just post the dancing Sloopy Girl as the McCoy's band played the song. But that won't tell her story. I recall when this song came out. It is a song that brings happiness and not sadness. It is not complicated. It was well received when it came out. Enjoy learning about Lisa Dalton the Sloopy Girl.

It was not out in the USA when the song hit us. But the video sure adds joy to the song.

I never understood the ever-ongoing (and growing) tale of the Sloopy Girl.

I think some of it has a lot to do with the music in the song.

Maybe, she was just easy on the eyes but I've seen better.

The woman in the video was Janet Spencer Turner a Brit actress.

She was a real beauty.

"Sloopy I don't care what your daddy do". Idiotic lyrics was the norm for pop songs back then.
