Russ Abbot was quite a celebrity during the 1980's. He had several primetime comedy sketch shows on the BBC (Remember Cooperman, C.U. Jimmy, and Basildon Bond). He also released a number of (unremarkable) singles, the most popular being this one.
Yes, the image of Russ Abbot arriving at a party on a bike, wearing a sweater, and showing us his moves on the dance floor will forever be imprinted in my memory until the day I die (and many others too it seems since it managed to peak at number 11 in the charts during February 1985 - obviously quite a few people went out and bought this). It's a fun song, and not to be taken seriously.
Come on, who is going to admit to having this in their vinyl/cassette singles collections?
Proof that good ol' Russ was actually beating Bryan Adams, Phil Collins, and even Tears for Fears for a time. Go Russ!
