236) Sandy Coast — “Back to the City”

‘69 B-side from Voorburg’s own Sandy Coast Skiffle Group, no make that Sandy Coast Five, no make that Sandy Coast Rockers, jeez, just call them the Sandy Coast. Of course, the Coast is most remembered for the time that Washington Redskins running back John Riggins told it “come on, loosen up, Sandy baby, you’re too tight.” See https://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/07/john-riggins-sandra-day-oconnor-loosen-up.

Today’s song was Holland’s answer to Petula Clark’s “Downtown.” “So I run back to the city where it’s lively, where it seems to be a circus all the time.”
