  • The Motors – “Airport”, “Forget About You” And “Dancing The Night Away”

    In 1978 English band The Motors reached Number 4 on the UK charts with their single “Airport”.

    This was another song I got to know through it being played by the resident band at the Majestic Hotel in Palmerston North, New Zealand, when I was a student.

    The Motors reached Number 13 in the UK with “Forget About You”.

    This is the album version of “Airport”:

    I also found this live version of “Airport” from 1978:

    Here’s “Forget About You” live:

    Both of these tracks are from the album “Approved By The Motors”, as I have just confirmed by looking at my record collection.

    And for something a little different, from the previous year, here’s “Dancing The Night Away” (later also covered by Cheap Trick):

    The video is definitely different…
