My older Romanian son used to have a T-shirt that read "I'm Big In Europe." That seems to have been true of The Sweet, previously The Sweetshop, and later just Sweet. I vaguely recalled this song from the radio but dismissed it as bubblegum. I can't recall knowing anyone who had any of their records or ever seeing a picture of them. It's all rather horrifying, isn't it?
Yet they somehow sold 35M albums worldwide. Somebody somewhere must have liked them a whole lot. Remember we all thought that Europe was much more sophisticated than us in those days.
