Baccara's hit 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie' from 1977 is a hit again this year 2021 because the song is used by the Scottish Soccer Team, playing in the Euro 2020 tournament, who have adopted the song sung by Baccara in English with a heavy Spanish accent.
‘Yes Sir, I can boogie’ is now Scotland’s football team anthem.
The Scottish team, the 'Tartan Army', will be boogie-woogie-ing all night long the weeks of June 2021, as Scotland play their group stage fixtures.
The team earned their place in the Euro 2020 tournament in November, winning against Serbia in a 120-minute game which ended in a penalty shoot-out.
The team were seen dancing to the tune of ‘Yes sir, I can boogie’ after they earned Scotland a place in a major football tournament for the first time in 23 years, and the song is now considered the team’s anthem.
The Baccara song is now affiliated with the Scotland football team and DJ George Bowie remixed the song and has teamed up with Bacarra to release a revamped version of the tune for the Euro 2020 tournament.
The band re-recorded their vocals for the special Scotland team tribute and Bowie supplied the soundtrack, which Bowie said was “the sort of things dreams are made of.”
This is the only original version of the song, recorded for Toppop exactly 44 years ago!
Baccara is a female vocal duo formed in 1977 by Spanish artists Mayte Mateos (born 7 February 1951 in Logroño) and María Mendiola (born 4 April 1952 in Madrid). Mayte is mostly dressed in black and Maria in white. Their music is a mix of pop and disco with a light Spanish accent.
The pair rapidly achieved international success with their debut single \"Yes Sir, I Can Boogie\", which reached number one across much of Europe and became the best-selling single of all-time by a female group, eventually selling more than 18 million copies worldwide.
A successful follow-up single (\"Sorry, I'm a Lady\") and European tour led to a number of album releases, numerous television appearances and the duo's selection to represent Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest 1978.
