Jim is our host, and Paula Light has suggested a theme of Socks, Shoes, Boots, Feet.
I initially though of These Boots Are Made For Walking, then Crocodile Shoes (which I’d used before) so digging back into the archives of my youth and the days of discos,
found this! And yes, we really did use to dance like that…….. oh the memories!!

Tiger Feet is a popular song by the English glam rock band Mud, released in January 1974. Written and produced by the songwriting team of Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn, it was the first of three number No. 1 singles for the band in the UK Singles Chart followed later that year by “Oh Boy!” and “Lonely This Christmas”.
The band appeared on Top of the Pops wearing tiger slippers.
Co-writer and producer Mike Chapman credited bassist Ray Stiles with a particularly memorable bass lick which helped fuel the success of the record.
Tiger Feet Lyrics (courtesy genius.com)
All night long you’ve been lookin’ at me
Well you know you’re the dance hall cutie that you love to be
Oh well now you’ve been layin’ it down
You got your
Hips swingin’ out of bounds
And I like the way you do what you’re doin’ to me
Alright
–
Well that’s right
That’s right
That’s right
That’s right
I really love your tiger light
And that’s neat
That’s neat
That’s neat
That’s neat
I really love your tiger feet
I really love your tiger feet
Your tiger feet
Your tiger feet
Your tiger feet
Well alright
Well flash your warning lights just as long as you like
I know you’re achin’ to be makin’ me tonight
I got a feeling in my knees
A feeling only you can please
And there ain’t no way I’m gonna let you out of my sight – alright
You’ve been layin’ it down
You got your hips swingin’ out of bound
And I like the way you do you’re doin’ to me
Alright
Great choice, full of fun memories, we’d been married three years when mud released this one! π
I remember dancing without getting puffed.
Now I’m exhausted just watching the vid!!!
Me tooπ
This brings back so many memories of family parties when the menfolk would engage in a spot of sad-dad dancing – happy days!
They were for me too.

A lovely upbeat song Di, thanks for sharing your music.
Thanks Jim. Happy days of my youth!!
I don’t remember this song but I know what you mean about “getting puffed”. LOL!
Happy days Jen!
I like it! 70’s music!
Those were the days.
Great choice! I couldn’t stay seated for this one. [I’m prone to spontaneously dance and this was irresistible!]
It is a foot tapper. My get up and dance song was Rock Around the Clock!
hahaha! I love this! New for me, had to watch a couple of times for more fun! π
It was a fun time.
For some reason this was never on my radar Di. I donβt remember it. It was fun watching them perform in ToTP βΊοΈπ
Very much my disco days Christine. They also did a similar song called The Cat Crept In and that was energetic dancing too!!
Never heard this one before, great song!
Showing my age I think!
