Yes Sir, I Can Boogie - BACCARA Lost in 2021 Fest

[Zoltan]

I almost lost my mind doing this. The mix was killing me. Still missing some instrumentation. No need for lyrics for this one

"Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" is a 1977 hit single by the Spanish vocal duo Baccara. Written by Frank Dostal and Rolf Soja, and produced by Soja, this disco song was a hit across Europe and became the duo's sole number one single in the United Kingdom, spending a single week at the top of the UK Singles Chart in October 1977.

Baccara were Spanish flamenco dancers Mayte Mateos and Maria Mendiola. They were discovered on the island of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands by RCA Records executive Leon Deane, who saw them dancing flamenco and singing traditional songs for tourists and signed them to the label.

María Mendiola, who sang the disco anthem Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, has died at the age of 69 in 2021.

Brilliant choice and a great cover. I remember this song well from 1977 - I was in my last year in the 6th form and me and my friends used to go drinking and disco-ing with some of the girls in the year below us. Brings back memories of drunken snogs !
Great to hear the song again - great backing and your vocal really suits it !

I was a young 12 year old when this came out and the song made quite an impression when I saw it on the tele. It's sad that she's gone.

Your cover is great though. Just the right amount of camp. Love it.

Brilliant job Zoltan. I was tapping my foot away to this. It is a great song, it does bring back memories alright of being a young kid. Cracking vocal, it's a bit like you have done this in more of an eighties pop style which is cool. Maybe a bit like Depeche Mode or something? Yeah man, great.
