Silly Games - Janet Kay

[Phoenix]

A number 2 hit in 1979



Recently featured on Steve McQueen’s Lovers Rock with a gorgeous sequence of the song playing and then everyone at the party doing an acapella version of it.

When we first moved to Ibiza there was a soul weekender on the complex next to our house. Some pissed old girls were belting this out for hours all night, so it reminds me of that. Weirdly, thats a happy memory.

It’s such a beautiful sequence, so much happiness.

I wasn't watching it. I think I was in the kitchen cooking but could hear Mr L watching it. So all I could hear was repeated clips over and over.
