Would it be a poptimist step too far to declare this song "classic"?

ok this song is classic but what is really classic is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm4mqWE1a5I it's like a visual representation of Carmody theorizing. It's the end of something, look at all the social stereotypes that no longer exist and it ends in what looks like a bingo hall what better symbol... the "make the party stronger..." bit is heartbreaking.

The video for Agadoo (Mambo 2009 remix) was directed by Bruce Jones, who played Coronation Street's Les Battersby.

no I don't.

However, I have just discovered, thanks to me looking up the answer to the question "Blimey, which band was it that did the cover version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" as a single to sell after their residency performances at Butlins Skegness, I remember seeing that band play but they didn't do that one, and I remember seeing the single/ep but I didn't buy one, come on.."

.. that it seems we saw Black Lace, back in 1977, Butlins Skegness.
