    I should ban you for inflicting us with that. I could do it. No one would say anything, it'd be 'Justifable Modacide'.:cool:

    I love Youtube. So many of these were lost to me until I discovered it.

    Not the best of music but songs I remember fondly.


    Who said Anneka was cheesy.:eek: I went into the hairdressers after seeing her and wanted them to do my hair in the Cleopatra style with a red rim around it but they weren't up for it. :(

    However, I did convince my mother to let me go to the hairdressers the day after seeing this

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vIwVyJD8rk


    and get my hair cut in the page boy style. Memory lane is pretty long, I'd better stop walking before I sound like Granpa Simpson. :D

    Not sure if any of you are doing the same thing as me, but I am using the links on this thread quite a lot for background music. I use them one day and then a couple of days later I am back using them again. Great thread and some really great memories. My poor aching bones are getting a lot of dancing exercise LOL.

    Mike 65 - Thanks for that, I've loved that song for ever.

    And here's one that was literally Top of the Pops 30 years ago today (albeit this is the live version):

    I've gotta say, I prefer Ferry's version to Lennon's own.

    When I hear Lennon's version all I can hear is him bleating away to Yoko, like an overgrown child

    When I hear Ferry's, I hear an homage to a dead hero. The bit at the end when it's just Bryan's whistling, his synth and his fringe brings a tear to my eye. It makes you wish John Lennon was still around to get an attack of the old green eyed monster.:( (Yes, I'm an unashamed lifelong Beatle's nut)

    Isn't it amazing how the same song can take on a completely different meaning depending on the performer and the context?

    I agree, but for slightly different reasons, Sardonicat. I was never a Beatles fan and Lennon's solo career was even worse as far as I was concerned, so Ferry's treatment was always going to be better for me. He's a suave ould bollix still; saw him playing down here recently with Roxy Music, a great concert.

    Fully agree re Lennon's solo career. Most of it is woeful, sentimental, self-indulgent whining.

    But Ferry's version of Jealous Guy was obviously recorded shortly after Lennon's murder and I think it just captures the sadness and pointlessness of his death. Ferry's JG manages to capture the beautiful simplicity that lay in the heart of a man whose life became complicated and ridiculous.

    It was the simplicity that people mourned, not the delusions of millionaire used to mass adulation singing about having no possesions from his mansion.

    Just a bloke whistling a sad, beautiful tune 'cos he messed up with his mrs.

    I remember hearing a wonderful bit of harpsichord music on his show once upon a time and was taken by how very 'Rock' it was - the original heavy metal. A year later I was trying to talk to a metalhead and tell him that there is more to music then 6 strings, a plectrum and an amp that goes up to 11, but for the life of me I couldn't remember the composers name.
    I phoned Lyric.
    "Errr, I heard some music...about a year ago...harpischord...really thumping...Who was it?"
    While on to them they phoned JK and off the top of his head he told me "Domenico Scarlatti".
    Kudos and respect to him. Wonderful show.

    I now have a Scarlatti canon queued up on the car just to play whenever I pull up beside boy-racers blaring death-metal at me.
