Does anyone remember a songcalled Rollin On by a band called Cirrus around 77/78? If it is a song I'm thinking of I really liked it when I was about 7 years old and wanted to track it down. Remember it being quite a guitary/rockish sort of song but looking in the Guiness Book of Hits, it didn't really do a lot chartwise. Does anyone know the song and what it actually sounded like?

Wasn't it used in the Yorkie bar advert?

The 7" vinyl single was produced as a brown rectangle reminiscent of a chunk of Yorkie.
...or rather the 12" single was rectangular!
Some of the lyrics used in the ad:

'Good rich and thick - a milk chocolate brick!
Each bite a chunky big mouthful.
And when I get home, there's plenty more in store for me
From that chunky bar of mine!
'

Thanks Kempie. I don't suppose you can remember what sort of style the music was? By the sounds of it, it wasn't the song I was thinking of. Thanks for the detailed answer though i.e. lyrics and all !!

You know what Jawa? You maybe onto something there! The Cirrus thing doesn't sound like the song I was after so I think I'm gonna check your suggestion out. I don't suppose you knopw how the chorus goes? Either way, if I check it out and it turns out to be the one, will let you know !!
Listen to the Steve Gibbons song of that name here.

Kempie, thanks a lot mate! I've listened to a snippet on the link you posted andThe Steve Gibbons Song Rolling On is indeed the one I was looking for (for over 25 years!!) Classic song! Have already sent an email to Jawa for his answer so wanted to thank you as well mate ! Take care !
Hello ! - Yes I remember this very well. It was used in a TV ad for "Yorkie" chocolate bars here ( UK ) I think me and my brother were the only people to buy it ! I still have the record but no turntable to play it on. You're right, though. I was a Guitary rock country sounding track.
