Hooray! Hooray! It's a holi-holiday - Boney M

With the intense heatwave we've had this week it makes sense to post some Boney M today, especially when it's a summery tune like 'Hooray! Hooray! It's a holi-holiday', complete with steel drums and a catchy chorus. The song and its B-side, 'Ribbons of Blue', were taken from the movie Disco Fever, billed as 'the first feature movie by Boney M' in 1978.  

The film soundtrack also included 'Rivers of Babylon', 'Rasputin', 'Dancing in the streets' and other performances by Eruption, La Bionda and Teens. If you don't remember this movie, you're not alone: it wasn't a big success. This picture disc, however, is a keeper.
