  • Robert Polhemus from Charlottsville Virginia 22901i wrote this song in 1969 and was purchased by Leeds pty ltd by Jack Argent. Do not know what if ever he did with the tune but referred me back Stateside MCA Music to write material for other groups. I performed the song many time (Once on Australia National Morning network out of Sydney where I lived for 6 months before returning to USA. Of course, my lyrics were very different the theme centered on a romance that happened every Saturday, but he wished she would return on Sundays so "WE CAN HAVE ANOTHER FUNDAY GIRL"
  • Zabadak from London, EnglandVery hard to find either the French or English language versions on CD, except the latter on Parallel Lines - most compilations seem to combine the two...
  • Lawrence from Saranac Lake, NyDefinately a great song. Played this a lot during the summer of '79.
