In conversation with the good lady this evening, she said to me 'you would have been very proud of your daughter today'. I asked why?. Apparently,
while driving back from school, (that's the wife-not my daughter as she is only 4 and that would have been illegal-and she wouldn't have touched the
pedals anyway as her legs are too short-that's my daughter -not my wife). Where was I? Oh yes, while driving my daughter back from school, the radio was
on. A song came on and my daughter said 'Mummy, I know who this is. It's Sweet isn't it?'. It was actually Suzi Quattro with Devil Gate Drive.
Bearing in mind she is only 4 (that's my daughter-not Suzi Q), that's pretty impressive don't you think?? Okay, she needs a bit more Sweet
education but that's pretty good in my book.
Seriously, it does say a lot for the power of ChinChap don't you think? They certainly had the Knack........and they wrote 'My Sharona' for them
didn't they?? and the spooky thing is, we drive a VW Sharan(a)
Happening soon...

Good one Sherm, I understood everything you just said, NO car journey is worth makin' without a bit of Sweet (or Suzi Q)
"Put Teenage Rampage on Dad" is pretty much the first request as the car doors close! No problem, no problem at all..........We want Sweet, We want Sweet...
I get better and better looking every day...... I cant wait for tomorrow!!

great story there Sherman..... made me laugh, but it's true, my son who is now 14 is also a huge Sweet fan, and he's grown up listening to Sweet thanks
to yours truly, he said to me the other day, 'Dad', cos he knows me....... 'you were really lucky growing up in the 70's, there was so much
great music, I was born in the wrong decade!' and people moan about the 'youth of today' lol

Nice one IC! Glad to hear that the youngsters have good role models as your good self. I think my two older boys (12 & 10) do like Sweet-but it's not
too 'cool' to admit to it. I catch them singing along sometimes.

Must be an echo Honey!
glad your daughter put you onto the right track it's great that our kids love Sweet though. I'm seperated from my
wife so whenever they come round to mine, it's straight to the cd's and a handful of Sweet disappear with him into the spare bedroom. My youngest son
who's 10 likes Blockbuster cos he likes the siren! bless him lol

Nice story Sherm
 I think its wonderful that our little ones will
continue to keep The Sweet music alive. I was in Tesco last week and Poppa Joe started to play in the store. My 13 year old daughter had gone to look at some
Cd's but came running back to me shouting "mum ,mum, its The Sweet " "I know I know" I excitingly replied. ..
......Sweet and shopping.....we were in heaven. |

Sherman Tank wrote:Actually no. That was a self penned song, though Chapman did produce it. I'm going to start a little topic about Chapmans involvment with other bands in a few. 
As for the sons and daughters becoming Sweet fans, my daughter is a Sweet fan as well, but its nothing to do with me. She lives with the ex wife and so she doesn't get to hear my musical side very often. She got into Sweet because she heard their songs on Life On Mars. Cheers. Ewan.

Thanks for putting me right Ewan. I knew there was an involvement with at least one of the ChinChap chaps! Of Course VC, 'My Sharan (a)' is all that we sing. However, instead of 'The Knacks' version, we do 'The Knackered' version
