Was hard to choose JT, could have been Hey Jude, Blackbird or my all time favourite of their earlier stuff Twist and Shout, love that scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Couldn't have coped with that earlier though, a bit er foggy headed.
And yes I did leave youtube running so have already further sampled the delights of 70's Finnish pop, could have done with a warning! |

Is no one going to mention 'The Birdie Song' or even better 'Chirpie Chirpie Cheep Cheep' !???.......are they to be denied their rightful place in history?.......sorry, just could not resist it!
Seriously, we have a distinct lack of any reference to Fleetwood Mac?.......glass of wine, low lights and 'I need your love so bad' on the record deck. Parfait!! |

The derivation of the term 'Sawdust Caesar' is hard to pinpoint but I have given the following quote from a 'Word reference forum:
'The quote is indeed used in Quadrophenia ......the phrase "Sawdust Caesar" seems to come from a reference to Mussolini - initially Mussolini was seen as the new Caesar by many Italians but after Italy's capitulation he was seen as a "Sawdust Caesar" - emperor of only the chipboard maps used to plan troop movements.' However, the term seems to have been used for Mussolini even earlier - a George Seldes book published in 1935 was named "Sawdust Caesar: the Untold History of Mussolini and Fascism" . |

I do enjoy a bit of lightheartednes. Music can be sublime or it can be earthshattering! Since you've referred to a Scottish pop group I'll keep the ball rolling up north and entreat you to give due credit to a supersonic number by a supersonic singer (Andy Stewart and "Donald Where's Your Troosers")
