Boogie nights are always the best in town

ventaIt's Friday! It's about three o'clock! It's time to Boogie At Your Desk!
Friday afternoons need a little something. I think they need a Top Tune. Something to make you shuffle in your seat and, if possible, Boogie At Your Desk. I'll be endeavouring to fill this gap some Fridays this year.
I'm not claiming that any track provided to enable At-Desk Boogying is one of the world's best or most profound pieces of music. It will, however, be one of the tunes which make me smile, and which have at some stage made me surreptitiously Boogie At My Desk.
Desks are not compulsory, of course. Feel free to boogie through your office, in your bedroom, round your lab, across your classroom, on the train - wherever you find yourself on a Friday afternoon.
If you like the track, go out and buy the album it belongs to - I'll try and recommend a suitable CD to purchase for any BAYD track.
This link will expire at some point in the future.
Today you were invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:
The Coral - Dreaming Of You
If you can listen to this song, and avoid pulling silly faces singing along to the "wah-oooo" in the chorus, then you're a better man than I am. The video for Dreaming Of You involves a trumpet-playing bear: what more could you want ?
I own two Coral albums, The Coral and Magic And Medicine, and I'd thoroughly recommend both of them. (I also own Nightfreak & The Sons Of Becker, which I've never quite got along with).
The Coral, from which Dreaming Of You comes, is a romp of an album. Good boogie-potential and songs about setting sail for the Spanish Main, or about humans who turn into plants. (I kid you not: Now he swapped his legs for roots, his arms and soil are in cahoots). It's not, however, to be mistaken for a joke or novelty album, it's still got some fine and varied song writing on it.
Their second album, Magic and Medicine, is a much more mature and mellow offering. If you fancy yourself as a little sophisticated, go for the seond album. Less brassy (and indeed less brazen) than its sibling, it has some lovely, gentle songs on it; I'd recommend Liezah in particular. And no one turns into a plant at any stage. Magic and Medicine is excellent for slightly melancholy, late night listening, especially in the car. If you just fancy a bit of a bounce: first album.
