Pure filth.

Legs & co, they were there before music videos for most songs.

Video killed the saucy dance troupe.

I am disappointed in Kid

Holy moly, when people tell you music is no good these days, remind them of rubbish like that.

A very good point! 1979 was a crap year, if this is to be believed.

Ol' Donie

I take it all back!

Dammit, where the hell is my Indian headgear gone?!

Fun Fact: The Policeman from The Village People was once married to the actress who played Clare Huxtable, Bill Cosby's wife in the Cosby Show.

No way, really? Something there doesn't quite add up...

Anyway, we are in serious hit and miss territory here, I reckon. Two big misses so far, i'd have to say.

I was starting to wonder, but it's on wiki

Rashād's first marriage, in 1972, was to dentist William Lancelot Bowles, Jr. They had one son, William Lancelot Bowles III, who was born the following year. The marriage ended in 1975. Rashād then married Victor Willis (original lead singer of the Village People, whom she met during the run of The Wiz) in 1978. Their divorce was finalized in 1982.

Moved firmly back into hit territory now!

Not sure if that's to be trusted, Skid. The village people are surely perfect for "Marilyn Manson was Kevin's friend in The Wonder Years" style urban legends!

I do like a bit of The Who.

Yay! A trip down memory lane...to last Saturday night!

One of the many things I've gained from bbc4 is an appreciation for how good Dire Straits were. Never going to be my favourite, but pretty flippin good.

Love 'Romeo and Juliet', a timeless song.

That is very well said Donie. Excellent musicians with some very good songs. They are not very well remembered, considering how big they were.

Ha, it'd be brilliant if they did a special on the music from GTA games!
