    This was Andy Peebles first ever TOTP presenting gig, and he was so wooden they didn't ask him back for another 3 years.

    Oh, to have a drink with Nile Rodgers!

    I bet he has an anecdote or two (million)!

    I agree, I don't think I would ever get bored of hearing him talk about music. Seems like a sound man too.

    It was a piss take of this ad, which people remember and made Lorraine Chase a big name.

    I don't understand it either, strange times.

    As I closed the garden gate I was really in a state
    Suitcase in each hand and no transport
    The taxi should have been there
    He said he was on the way
    I thought if he don't hurry up i'll miss me holiday
    Finally he turned up and I told him what I thought
    Then to my surprise he said sod it you can walk
    I had to show a bit of leg, cause time was running out
    And a geezer stopped and said
    "Hop in I can take you out to Luton Airport"
    Oooowe ooooo Luton Airport (x3)

    When we landed in Majorca I was much the worse for wear
    But with those romantic nights ahead I really didn't care
    I checked in to the hotel it must have been four star all those dolly geezers in white suits liggin round the bar
    I settled in quite nicely the sun was really strong
    An there they where all pullin birds an I thought it won't be long
    Sure enough he turns up thinkin he's quite skiv you won't believe it he's the bloke who offered me a lift to
    Luton Airport
    Ooooowe ooooo Luton Airport (x3)

    We had our little romance, we had our little fling
    Two weeks in Majorca an he wants to buy a ring
    Then I thought he'd left me at the airport on me own but it turns out he's the captain of the plane thats going out to
    Luton Airport
    Oooowe ooooo Luton Airport (x3)

    It's alright being chatted up my heart it turns to jelly
    They even think that I'm the girl, the one thats on the telly they say "Look in to my eyes darlin, are you from paradise?"
    Well I tell em don't I "NO MATE, LUTON AIRPORT"

    Oooowe oooo Luton airport (repeat to fade)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,444 ✭✭✭✭Skid X


    Stupid Hot Dana ... I want to remember her as a wee girl winning Eurovision and as an oddball continually not being elected President. And nowhere inbetween.

    Viva Lolly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,779 ✭✭✭✭Ol' Donie

    Doves haves split, but they have formed a new group and they will be supporting Noel Gallagher on his next tour, apparently.

    Five Star!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,779 ✭✭✭✭Ol' Donie


    Five Star!

    For years I wasn't sure if they really existed, or if I'd imagined the whole thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,779 ✭✭✭✭Ol' Donie


    Wherever did they get their inspiration?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,444 ✭✭✭✭Skid X


    Ralph MacTell!

    Streets of London!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,779 ✭✭✭✭Ol' Donie

    He ripped off Five Star!

    Dunno what this thing is now ... but I agree, it's a good show tonight.

    Never heard this Fox business before.

    Not for me, Clive.

    Donie, did you ever hear the BBC Radio Series of Flight of the Conchords?

    Neil Finn pops up in every episode, it's very good.

    Good tune this, Crowded House.

    A good tune, Bill. Not a great tune.
