Giggles – Just Another Saturday Night/Bazooka –EMI 2513 (1976 UK)A real surprising find here: Just Another Saturday Night is a cover of the lead track from Canada’s Moonquake’s second album (Star Struck). Not sure how a UK band on a major label, would have caught on to one of Canada’s finest…but in my opinion this version wins out over the original as it’s a top grade Glam/Boogie crossover with enough sound effects and twists and turns to warrant several return visits. The sleeve is a nice touch, bring out your colouring pens!
Giggles had another 3 singles on EMI, before metamorphosing into The Giants (on RCA).Click below for soundclip

I dunno, maybe Canada seemed the place to go if you was trawling for a hit. Crappy Dutch White-Lion-losers, Mabel, did a version of Thundermug's 'Look In Her Eyes' for a single. ...which, predictably sucked, just like all their other stuff.
...Mabel, not the Mug, who rule out-right and then some!
Robin, was it you that one the other two Giggles 45's a while back? I remember one of 'em was called "Reaching Out", but I can't remember for the life of me the other one. Can ya' Help?
