Are they, like, one of those Euro disco groups who didn't really speak English but sang disco songs?

They're pretty.

yep:

In 1977 on the Spanish island of Fuerteventura, Mayte Matee and Maria Mendiolo were performing flamenco and singing traditional Spanish songs in cabaret for the many tourists who went there for the solitude and beautiful beaches, away from the commercialism of mainland Spain and the Costas. Their huge potential was spotted by RCA record company executive Leon Deane, who very swiftly signed a deal and named the duo after the BACCARA rose. It wasn’t long before they were in touch with Rolf Soja, who co-wrote the song with which they are still synonymous today, “Yes sir I can boogie”

The song was an immediate hit, achieving number one status in the UK charts as well as huge sales and success in countries all round the world. Mayte and Maria went on to follow this with the also successful “Sorry I’m a lady” and the release of their first album, simply entitled “Baccara”.

...got all that from this site.

oh damn, yes! I was hardly a teenager when they hit big in Europe that song was all over the radio and surely counts as a guilty pleasure in every possible way I'm surprised somone from the states knows it, they totally flopped over there, didn't they?

OMFG thats a fuckin dustie dust there, its been re issued a few times on Bootlegs, but finding and original on RCA is crazy hard
