A quirky but memorable hit from 1978 - Yellow Dog's 'Just One More Night'. A one hit wonder under this moniker, but founder Kenny Young was a successful composer thanks to tracks like 'Under the Boardwalk'. Young also formed Fox, whose songs have been the subject of multiple posts by this youtuber. See 'SSS Single Bed', 'Only you can' and 'Imagine Me Imagine You'.

Yellow Dog have been labelled a one hit wonder thanks to the Top 10 hit 'Just one more night' which rose to #6 here in Australia, the country who gave Fox their biggest success too a couple of years earlier. What can I tell you - we are just suckers for idiosyncratic and catchy ditties like this one. Australia also gave Carole Bayer Sager a huge hit a year earlier with 'You're Moving Out Today' a similarly quirky track which also chronicled the dissolution of a domestic relationship, something the press at the time noticed about the Yellow Dog hit, coming so soon off the Bayer Sager one. 

Kenny Young's distinctive vocal style and the retro arrangement, along with the spoken pleading at the end of the track gave it a novelty status, perhaps the reason the band were never able to match the success of the song with later releases. The follow up 'Wait until midnight' didn't even crack the Top 50 in Britain. 

Enjoy this fun musical postcard from 1978.
