Ahhh the memories this song brings back. I was like 12 years old when this song came out. I never got to see these guys perform very often except on TV. Now I can see them perform on my phone. WOW!!!!

[@beatbrunner3144]

This Song is brilliant.

[@kelseymariel2127]

Interesting song even back then. Thanks Rollers!

Love yu guys still...

[@vickielawson3701]

♥️ Beautiful ❤️

[@joannegreenwood4168]

This song underlines the versatility of the Rollers music and performances. They could 'rock it up' with the best and could produce this dreamy, atmospheric song which leaves you 'floating' and also wondering how it came into being. Could it have been from personal experience? Interesting and intriguing! Regards, Jo.

[@PatChipperfield]

Still finding little jems on your :site: thank YOU Jen !!! I may be a little late BUT I', loving it

[@brendaaspey3522]

LOVE this song both vocally and musically #EarEcstasy

[@TheThe1ange]

Love the fantasy mood of this number.I adored this one when I got the album as a kid.

[@lmsandy9154]

Eric was the man! Money Honey , La Belle Jeane, Shanghai'd In Love, You're A Woman.... all timeless, all are my favorites by BCR... and all written by the great Mr Faulkner !

[@lesabeaty7415]

+lm sandy Don't forget Woody. He co-wrote all those songs with Eric. They're a great team. :)

[@agoogleuser4443]

I'm an Alan girl but Eric has a nice voice and is a VERY talented musician. Easy on the eyes too, lol.

[@leeanne4638]

Your being bias,dear, and neglecting a very large part of his writing capabilities,as Woody ALSO wrote alongside of Eric.

[@BeautifulSpirit-kf5ld]

@@leeanne4638 I am sure that you can give Eric credit , where credit is due. One basic truth: BCR was going nowhere, if not for Mr. Faulkner's contributions. Both musical, and spiritual. A ray of light --that is Eric. And today? He is still the modest poet/troubador that he always was. No drama. No self-aggrandizing Facebook ego trips. A model of Love and Light.

[@lucluc9541]

Love that song !

I love how you can hear their Scottish accents a bit on the vocals. Such a sweet, dreamy song. Thanks, Janny. :)

Beautiful.

[@derekmoody1358]

BCR 4 ever!!!!!!!!!

[@mercyprosperity9732]

Eric was writing, and sharing the credit with Stuart, but the lions share was written by Faulkner. That is friendship. Love these two. The first musicians I ever followed.

[@linndaj65]

Yes very true in fact Eric wrote some of those songs like Money Honey before he was in the band. The Faulkner/Wood credits were just on paper. Eric did the writing. Love the sound of their voices together though. No one else sounds like these two.

[@mercyprosperity9732]

Eric is a massive talent. They robbed him. Period. I hope he still owns the rights to his greatest songs, like Money Honey and You're A Woman

[@3lovelygirl]

So romantic(:

[@christinaferguson355]

Now that I'm no longer screaming my bloody head off (LOL), they CAN play their instruments!! LOL What a sweet video and song. Love me some Eric!!! :)

[@Juppalieu]

Shanghai‘d In Love is on the Wouldn‘t You Like It-Album...my fav one from the Rollers. Eric & Woody were/are so talented but they never got. the respect that they should have earned. Both are very good musicians and it‘s really sad, that they will never get together again, because of the egomaniac McKeown. Leslie was an excellent singer, but he never checked what it means to work together in a group as a team.

[@bluesky-pb9di]

Even though I was a fan of Les in younger years. His ego was the problem. Too bad they didn't have someone to check his ego.

[@agoogleuser4443]

@@bluesky-pb9di At some point a lot of lead singers think they ARE the band, but it ain't necessarily so. So many solo careers didn't take off after lead singers left their band. Les was a very good singer but he was not the Bay City Rollers. All of them together were.

does Les actually PLAY the keyboard/guitar for real? .. i wonder ..does a good pretending act if he doesn't .. lol - they should have put the fifth guy (on the left (not sure who it is) playing guitar) over where Les and the keyboard were ..at least he CAN PLAY his guitar,hey! lol

[@jannylovesbcr]

I did read that Leslie played musical instruments but wanted to focus on the singing aspect of it all. That's Ian Mitchell on the side. xoxo

[@tobycoyote2468]

There is another video on here of Les playing the drums.

[@8angst8]

I always liked this song. But a few beefs with this video: (1) The video doesn't match up with the vocals. Get yer synchronization straight before you post. (2) Les and Derek cracking up make me crack up. (3) What are they saying here: "Like a _____ I was hooked on love..." ----I've been wondering about this since 1976.

[@jannylovesbcr]

WOW!! (1) It is so minimal and lip synced. If you ever watch an old movie have you not noticed that the vocals don't match up. (3) And I was Shanghai'd in love Yes I was, Shanghai'd in love Like a child yeah I was hooked on love Shanghai'd in love
