    We were rippin' up
    We were rockin' up
    Roll it over and lay it down

    We were shakin' up
    We were breakin' up
    We were rockin' to the shang-a-lang sound of the music

    :)

    They weren’t the most accomplished musicians.The former drummer in my daughter’s band (now deceased) was the session drummer brought in to play on their records.

    Because Rollers drummer Derek Longmuir was possibly just too preoccupied with something else.
    In 2000 he was convicted of some very horrible stuff. He worked as a nurse at the time.
