I'll have to dig out 'Chart Explosion' when i get home (1980) or even better 'Chart Hits 81 vols 1 and 2. It's my party and i'll cry if i want to....etc
Cheer up GarethL. Some of us are already chronologically 40, or in Snoop's case 50. Age is in the head. According toa scrummy real age web site I am 36.1 yippee.
Did you ever hear the Vic Reeves version of "Vienna"?
I can't remember all the lyrics, but it was something like:
I know a place in a foreign land The name of Belgium The water stinks But the people think They think that it doesn't They think that it doesn't but it does I'm telling you it stinks
The feeling has gone etc
Hitler dwelt in this land And Van Morrison was born here The Belgian police are very very kind And invented the waltzer
Etc.
And then there was a bit about a fox and a cardboard box, but I think you get the idea by now?
Going up to see my parents last Saturday, we were listening to Jonathan Ross on R2. One of his guests was Dolly Parton. The first thing he said to her "Thanks for joining us Dolly, can I just say that your breasts look fantastic". Class act.
Big Audio Dynamite: "E=MC2" (Somebody I never met, but in a way I know, didn't think that you could get so much from a picture show, man dies, first reel, people ask "what's the deal") and "Medicine Show" (Covered wagon, medicine show, take me to the place where the healing flows, oh-oh). No, they were the 80s.
Carol Decker was indeed in T'Pau with her boyfriend Ronnie.
Was the Womack and Womack called "Teardrops" or something?
Walk The Dinosaur was by Was Not Was, who also had hits with Shake Your Head, Out Come The Freaks and Spy In The House Of Love, although their best song which wasn't released as a single was Hello Dad I'm In Jail.
Now how about some of the soul acts from the 80's,
Alexander O'Neal - Criticize Jellybean - Jingo Will Downing - Love Supreme

LDB, nearer 1960 or 1970 ? cheeky question really. can't tell from the photo - i 'm not good with badger years. i'm sure it's 1970 ! (creep creep)
"Young at Heart" - now there was a song. I didn't like it, but it WAS a song...
I was just listening to "Geno" on my way back to work at lunchtime. "Back in '68 at this sweaty club (oh Geno)...". Excellent.
And, I'm sorry, but I'm a child of the 70s - by all of 10 days!

I own up to liking Vienna, the real one, however.
Wasn't that The Wurzels?
When the sun shines
On the cowshed
And I'm baling out the hay...
They're playing 'Delilah' on Radio 2 at the moment....classic!

carol decker was in T'Pau wasn't she ?
footsteps on the dancefloor, reminds me baby of you.. a Womack & Womack tune.
and ....playing silly games, hiding up in treetops shouting out rude names - games without frontiers, although Pete Gabriel wasn't a 1 hit wonder.
