Oops Upside Your Head (With Added Pot Plant)

Today's image was taken on a quick dash up our local shops for some 'essential supplies' - well o.k, wine and dark chocolate ginger biscuits - and is this rather strange way of promoting carpets by a nearby floor covering retailer. To add the weirdness - not quite sure this is the position you'd necessarily adopt when you're thinking of purchasing a carpet (the other guy doesn't appear to be helping matters either!) - I thought I would add an off-kilter angle whilst also alighting on the contrast between the predominantly pink and zebra patterned advertisement and the blue parking space in the background. It can also be seen as a bit of a companion piece to my previous blip of 17/02/2025.
The title of today's blip, without the added pot plant reference, is the name of the classic old school funk single from 1979 by the R&B group the Gap Band - originally called "I Don't Believe You Want To Get Up And Dance (Oops!)" as a track on their fourth studio album, The Gap Band II.
The humorous monologues throughout the song by the lead singer Charlie Wilson were inspired by his cousin Bootsy Collins comedic slants in his own songs, with other lines also influenced by similar lines from Parliament-Funkadelic in the mid-70's.
The band made little use of synthesisers prior to this song but their use of the instrument would go on to expand with each passing album and by 1982 most of the bands hits were synthesiser-laden electrofunk.
The song has even been widely repurposed as a football chant in Britain and Ireland. Two particularly famous instances where the melody has been used in chants are "Ooh, Ah, Cantona", which was supposedly first adopted by fans when Eric Cantona was playing for Leeds and then followed him when he moved to Manchester United, and "Ooh Ah, Paul McGrath" which played homage to the Irish international footballer and was frequently heard at Lansdowne Road during Irish home games.
So quite the journey, even if it was only inspired by a walk up to our local shops, from carpets to electrofunk and football chants!
