“In 1956 Roy Orbison sang about a dance called the “Ooby Dooby”, and in 1960 Mark Dinning recorded a song Orbison wrote titled “In 1969 a doo wop group from New York City billed themselves as Sha Na Na. Tinker’s Moon was a band from Montreal. But I actually did enjoy this book from a more literate, less fan-girly perspective too. In 1969 Cilla Black recorded “Surround Yourself With Sorrow”, which peaked on the UK pop chart at #3. Shang-a-lang reads like the one who wrote it: Les' cheeky, whip smart, smart ass commentary on his world. He speaks of his high and low periods of being in this "bubble" and how he started into the next phase of his career after he left the Rollers. By 1974 this band of session musicians decided to cut a few recordings, and they were apparently performing – presumably in the Montreal area. Read 12 reviews from the world's largest community for readers. It had me laughing so many times!
Shang-a-Lang (TV series) - WikiMili, The Free Encyclopedia - WikiMili, The Free Encyclop There was an article about them on jam.canoe website. In 1976 Martin and Coulter penned “Saturday Night” for the Bay City Rollers, a song that peaked at #1 in America.“Shang-A-Lang” as a title is a string of nonsense syllables.

Most of these recording artists had hits only in Quebec.“Shang-A-Lang” was written by Bill Martin (born William Wylie MacPherson in 1938 in Glasgow) and Phil Coulter (born 1942 in Derry, Northern Ireland). But an article search only resulted in an Error 404 message. The song is recalling the golden age of rock ‘n roll, and refers to everyone dancing in their “blue suede shoes.”From the mid-50s’ and into the 60’s there were a substantial number of songs on the pop charts that included nonsense lyrics in the doo wop genre.In 1954 the Chords sang “Sh-Boom”, which was covered by the Crew Cuts. Of course, plenty of people can write like they talk, in fact most do, but fewer can tell an interesting and compelling story using their casual speech, and fewer still can do so with any hint of structure or forethought. It is a remarkable story of extremes, and a no-holds barred account of Rollermania.Being an obsessive Les fan, of the Bay City Rollers, back in the day, I basically flew through this book!
Welcome back. They were still going strong in the mid-70s and a song like “Shang-A-Lang” resonated with radio listeners who preferred “oldies” rock ‘n roll to progressive rock, protest/folk-rock songs or the emerging disco sound.“Shang-A-Lang” peaked at #6 in Vancouver (BC) and made the Top 30 in Windsor and Toronto. Since 1964 Kaye had produced Les Classels, Gilles Girard, Lloyd and the Village Squires, Pete Tessier, Marty Butler, Patsy Gallant, Pagliaro and many others. Be the first to ask a question about Shang-a-lang Discogs.com comments that they were a session band from Montreal in the 1960s and 70s.
