I’m Mandy Fly me - 10cc

Take your mind back to the mid-70’s. There are numerous attractive pop stars to have a teenage crush on. Bay City Rollers, David Soul, David Essex, Kenny, Slik, 10cc.... Er who? 10cc? Really? I had two friends who were rather keen on 10cc in general and Eric Stewart in particular. A rather unusual choice perhaps, but I suppose there was less competition for him than say for one of the two Davids.

I was never really a fan, but have to admit a certain fondness for “I’m Mandy, Fly Me”. Not quite sure what the song was about, other than perhaps a fantasy about an air hostess (yes that’s what they were called back then), on a poster, although I can’t say I’d choose to end up in shark infested waters after a plane crash in a fantasy of my own creation, but it’s what Eric, Graham and Kev came up with.
