Love Instrumentals always have..wether fashionable or not, I personally think in some cases the backing track sometimes carries a poor vocal either way essential part of any record personally. I prefer the instrumental of Betty Boo and Ronnie Mcneir Sitting in my class the latter I think is just to cute! both have great Detroit arrangements though a pleasure to listen to in their own right.
On topic "Used to be cool" distinctly rememember this being a monster tune in its day, still have a tape i recorded at Wirrina Allnighter circa 1978 with people (including me) chanting ESPERANTO! when the record pauses two thirds the way through I played it as end record at last Soul in Bowl...cleared the floor ah well you gotta try, havent given up gonna try Harry Betts, Fantastic Plastic Machine next time.........Cheese is the new cooool !
