By the Bee Gees, I think

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
We used to love while others used to play.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
Some one else moved in from far away.

For some reason or other, those curved lights on the edge of the polls always reminded me of Gemsbok horns.....

was it just me? there were two on each pole half a metre long, curved with about 4 coloured lightbulbs on each...

Remember those lights with santa moving and singing. Great to see the street scenes with old Land Rovers, Mazda bakkies and ... Anglias.

Not forgetting the pyschedelic (as Michele used to call it ) Diamond which sat on the light in the centre of the roundabout outside Caseys Bar.
