The Swarbriggs had suits like that for a Eurovision song I think...

This video was remade almost shot by shot for the My Lovely Horse Promo ...

Kid Jensen is like a beacon of normality in all this madness.

He never changed whether he was introducing The Sex Pistols or Foster and Allen. Pure class.

You can laugh, I got them in my hair in the Caribbean years ago, I had to get them cut out, I was like a scarecrow afterwards....:mad:

Bad bad look. :mad:

As kids, we used to call them "The Strawberries" in our house

I remember their Mammy and Daddy had a "Drapery" shop...

We were all very impressed with that for some reason, and they made their suits if I remember correctly....:D

Harry Angstrom · 26-04-2014 11:27PM

Didn't the Boney M guy die a few years back?

The charismatic frontman of Boney M, Bobby Farrell, has died on tour in St Petersburg after finishing a gig despite medical concerns.

The 61-year-old, who brought the Caribbean carnival tradition of his native Aruba to western pop, had complained of breathing problems before and after the show.

His agent, John Seine, said that "heart problems, shortage of breath and problems with his stomach" had plagued the performer for 10 years, but had never dented his love of performing live. A natural showman, Farrell made slick dance routines and exotic costumes as much a part of Boney M appearances as the music.

Methinks the drummer is miming.

grey_so_what · 26-04-2014 11:29PM

Nice legs, shame about the face.....

I've heard so many versions of different parts of the body sung to that music!!..:)

All complementary of course!!...

yeah....

Skid X · 26-04-2014 11:29PM

This is like a Two Ronnies piss take video.

Awful.

Harry Angstrom · 26-04-2014 11:29PM

They wouldn't get away with a song like that these days.....

Welsh Megaman · 26-04-2014 11:30PM

Nice Legs, Shame About Your Face.

A song about Glenda Gilson :pac:

grey_so_what · 26-04-2014 11:31PM

Ah, the Bee Gees.....

Love them....:)

Welsh Megaman · 26-04-2014 11:32PM

This is proper Alan Partridge territory.

''Hit the recline button on my easy chair''.

It's a shame Clive Anderson didn't think along the same lines.

It's a bit creepy to see all these 14 and 15 year old girls hovering around the TOTP's presenter, knowing now what we didn't know then.

Welsh Megaman · 26-04-2014 11:35PM

Lovely hexagonal camera effects.

Skid X · 26-04-2014 11:36PM

It's odd how little attention they gave the number one song back then ... they announced it at the start and didn't make a big deal of it.

In later years it was the climax of the show.

Welsh Megaman · 26-04-2014 11:36PM

Uh-oh...John Denver!

Night folks!

I remember that Harry!...

And do you remember Graham Norton made a joke about Robin when he died saying he used to sing "Staying Alive"....:(

I loved them, best disco music ever....I'm not sure I'd listen to them talking over a few pints though!!....;)

Meanwhile, i seriously broke the bank today...

grey_so_what · 26-04-2014 11:41PM

For some reason John Denver reminds me of school and the nuns and my piano lessons...

I think I suppressed most of those thoughts though...

I think....

Harry Angstrom · 26-04-2014 11:41PM

I'll never forget the day that John Denver died, only because that idiotic clown Neil Prendeville announced his death on his radio show, and guess what song he played??

"Leaving on a Jet Plane" :rolleyes:

Well done Neil, you insensitive w@nker.
He can't actually sue me for that one, as it's the truth
