3. I love this song
It's one of those songs that gives me a very nostalgic feeling in the pit of my gut. I was 19 when this song was popular - the summer of 1978, the summer that my oldest son was born.

:loveya:

4. Thanks for posting
the link.

I lived in London in the 70's and remember Rafferty with fondness.

5. This song has a profoundly negative effect on me. I don't know why.
But I'm not the only one. I was watching a movie with a friend ("Summer Night Fever" - check it out!) and that song came on and he said the same thing.

6. That song always makes me mellow
It's like a song about people anybody could know, not to mention that the music is great.
