    I remember that actually originated from a reggae version which Zag used to sing during the Birthday Roll,while he was singing all the birthday names in a Jamaican accent,and after every few names he'd sing "....and dem girls dem girls dey al luuv me..."

    I had completely forgotten about the Kelly Family until I came across this thread and relived the horror of "An Angel" all over again. Still though, I love threads like this:D

    Here's a few more pieces of excrement for u to puke over:)





    Check out Daz here singing about teenage life. It's a long time since he was a teenager, by the look of him.

    That Dog Police one is enjoyable in a "WTF is this?" kind of way.

    The Reynolds Girls were moron's, or badly lead. I read their mother was their manager and after they had one hit, (with an abysmal song), their mother thought they didn't need S.A.W. anymore and subsequently sabotaged them. In the words of Fr. Jack Hackett, "GOB****E!!!".

    Whatever about the song(and I'll admit its kind of catchy) this is often cited as one of the worst music videos ever.If you don't die laughing then you are in need of a funny bone transplant.

    Yep I remember them,after that one song they disappeared promptly back into the obscurity that they came from.Ironic that The Rolling Stones who they diss in the song are still touring and The Reynolds Girls are ...where?

    Can anyone remember this dance/rave song from the 90s where me wan is singin this in the chorus:

    "I gotta warn you...
    Max
    Don't have sex
    With your ex,
    It'll make your life complex...."

    I used to laugh me arse off every time I heard that one :-)

    Well, not those for a start!

    You've listed some of my all-time favourites there.

    :mad::mad:

    yes! Two of my all-time favourites as well! Have loved star trekkin' ever since it first came out in the summer of 1987. Fact: "Star Trekkin'" was no.1 here in ireland for 4 weeks and in the uk it was number one for only 2 weeks! Still love listening to it!

    Stan Ridgeway's "Camoflauge" is a good one too! 2 '80's classics there!

    What was that dance tune that was a big hit in the late 90s that had a female vocal repeating the words "hes gonna be big" and the more it went on it started sounding like "hes got a big d.....k"?

    I have absolutely no idea.

    Twas just a little flashback I had when we were mentioning mickey-takes,and all that came to me mind was the start of the chorus which went with:

    "Wo ho,wo ho Cabbage-head........"

    I can't even remember any of the other lyrics-I just remember that my older brothers found it very funny.....

    It was Dermot Morgan, I think he only sang it on TV, possibly on a variety show or 'The Live Mike'. He had other parody songs released in the 80s though.

    I disagree :) totally forgot about this song. It was a very subversive song , they never explained the lyrics at the time ......
    The song was a combination of political satire and off-colour humour wrapped in nursery rhyme style lyrics. The protagonist, John Wayne, is performing sexual intercourse with a Native American female. When Wayne's bandolier restricts their intimacy, she suggests he removes it. He refuses and suggests he sodomises her instead:

    “
    So she says to him - Take off that thing, It's getting right between us.
    Now listen honey I can't do that, not even for you my sweetness.
    Now Big John, if that's a fact, then how'd you propose we do our act?
    If that's the way it's gonna be, get the hell out of my tepee.
    Now speckled hen just stop your squawkin', Big Bad Rooster's doin' the talking.
    I know a trick we ought to try, turn right over - you'll know why.
    ”

    —Haysi Fantaysi, John Wayne is Big Leggy lyrics

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Somebody please tell me they remembers these two shockers,otherwise I'll think I'm in cloud cuckooland.....

    This one was weird enough,with weird music,it might well have been from a kids programme or something,and the lyrics went:
    "We love chocolate,boy....it brings me so much joy...."

    And wasn't there this band called "The Fast Food Poppers" who had a truly terrible dance song all about take-away food?

    Another classic from Will Powers with that oh so early 80s video.Could never figure out of that was a Tranny in the video,though looking at it now I think the answer to that is yes.

    They were supposed to be the British Jacksons, after Musical Youth, that was.
    Wasn't one of the girls called Doris? How could you be a sexy pop star called Doris?
    The two brothers were Stedman and Delroy IIRC.
    I remember they bought this big house somewhere in Surrey and they had a recording studio, and loads of sports cars, which they had to drive around the grounds, as most of them were still under 17!

    Before that it was Daphne & Celeste "Ooh Stick You."
