Aye, the one hit wonders thing is very tenuous

 

[look out piano]

....

Whoo Kung Foo Fighting. The best.

Am I watching the same thing as everyone else ????

That was on earlier, we've seen kung Fu fighting a while back xx

 

[Drifter]

I'm going to have to disagree here. Actually, "Run To You" is decent.

I quite liked that. Always thought it sounded like a verb/euphemism “ I’m gonna runter you”.

 

[Skylon]

Love this version of brimful of asha without the Norman Cook big beats on it. Sounds wonderful stripped back

 

[CPLforever]

I missed a bit of volume 1 as I'd been watching mannequin

Oh was there an earlier one on too. I must be watching volume two.

 

[look out piano]

Love this anarl, get what you give by the new radicals (dude also wrote life is a rollercoaster for Ronan Keating anarl ).

.....

Oh bloody hell it's Althea and Donna.

Uptown Rankin Ooh (that's the high-pitched little noise she made.) This is brilliant.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, my childhood favourite. Big sister had to get me their records from that place opposite crowtree.

Someone once mistook my fella for Tom Petty. Must have been Tom Petty with a haircut cos his hair was cropped.

You must be watching an hour behind us I think

My hair looks a bit like that currently

The higher the hair the closer to god. I presume you're talking about Peters bouffant. I'm a bit behind.

Onto Charlene now.

Nice polo necks!

Just what I said. Mustard? Not sure.

Proper 70's colour!

 

[CPLforever]

Going back 2 songs now, but I think that trio da da da performance is one of my favourite ever on top of the pops. Bizarre yet tremendous

Da da da. Just agreeing with you in German (except it's not should be ya ya ya)

You must be watching an hour behind us I think

Yep just on to 99 balloons now

Everybody's probably gone to bed now and I'm still singing along.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Random Bryan Adam’s fact - How many people knew/know that he actually sings me & my baby in a 69 at the end of Summer of 69? Tis true

Music papers in the 70s used to have ads from record shops which would include Zep singles but they were always imports.

One of my brothers had a copy of Trampled Underfoot from 1975. It’s never been played and is still in the little red bag from Smyths record shop in the Galleries.

 

[Harry Gates]

Love a bit hall and oats

Hope you've got a curtain on that glass front door.

Was thinking about Trampled last night.
It may have been released in limited quantities so as not to chart..... Mebees?

Possibly. It seems impossible that it wouldn’t have charted if it was released in sufficient numbers.

Went to bed with Figaro by brotherhood of man swirling round my head constantly ffs nee idea why.

 

[Big Jeff]

I started watching this and then the pedantic thing reared its head and I had to switch it off.

A true one hit artist has success with a single and is never seen again - Like Nena - 99 Red Balloons.

But Bryan Adams is a major international artist and Tracey Chapman was very successful
