Old TOTP (BBC4) (1 Viewer)

[Shirley]

Oh God I spent FAR too much time in AWFUL PUBS listening to GUNS'N'ROSES. Hooray for the STICKS

 

[Shirley]

I'd still rather JACK than FLEETWOOD MAC

ALYSON WILLIAMS is doing a TURN with HIGH KICKS but I'm afraid THERE'S ONLY ONE ADEVA

 

[Shirley]

Talking of ADEVA she's in at 40 with MUSICAL FREEDOM MOVING ON UP MOVING ON UP MOVING ON UP MOVING ON UP MOVING ON UP MOVING ON UP MOVING ON UP MOVING ON UP

Anyway here's OUR DON with a CHEAPO VID for the VIDEO BARS (yes there really was such a thing kids!)

 

[Shirley]

PEOPLE HOLD ON

Some people LIVE FOR THE FUTURE
SOME OF US WONDER

 

[Shirley]

I see KIM is ALWAYS AVAILABLE

God this one's a BORE

 

[Sheena]

CHANELLE

One of my all time top 50 songs. What a WOMAN! And this performance is nothing short of, well, ALRIGHT

 

[Shirley]

Is PAULA ABDUL the SUELLA of POP?

 

[Shirley]

UM YOU'VE STARTED THE VIDEO AT THE END

Well we can't have RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY at EASTER can we AUNTIE

 

[Sheena]

Is PAULA ABDUL the SUELLA of POP?

WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT

I actually love a bit of PAULA, as shit as she may be

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I didn't realise Only Me by Hyperlogic (which I was playing only this morning) sampled Sleep Talk.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Sneaky sighting of Shirley Manson at #39.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I did like Paula at the time. But she really is an awful celebrity.

The cutting off of the first 3 minutes of Like A Prayer is a fucking pisstake.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I wonder if they'd accept a LETTER OF COMPLAINT 31 years after the event.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

 

[octophone]

Ever the contrarian...

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Who even was Mick of Pat and Mick fame?

Who was actually singing? It sounds like Big Fun.

 

[Shirley]

God Pat and Mick were just GREAT weren't they

I still don't really like ETERNAL FLAME. It's kind of ANNOYING

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I love Eternal Flame and I don't care who knows it.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Why does Roachford have a manson with the word BITCH on his t-shirt?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I vaguely recall Family Man. It's OK I SUPPOSE.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I wonder what Secret Love by Big Fun was about

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh Wend.

 

[Shirley]

Wend was so AWFUL

I thought this THE THE song had JOHNNY MARR on

 

[Shirley]

Oh they might as well have rhymed CITY with TITTY

 

[Shirley]

WE WANT ADEVA

 

[Zu]

Presumably this was WENDY JAMES?

 

[Zu]

I for some reason absolutely loved the Pat and Mick version of ‘Let’s All Chant’. The follow-up, NOT SO MUCH

 

[Shirley]

Nobody ever had a MAKEOVER quite like FUZZBOX

I hate the CULT

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Fuzzbox YES
The Cult NO

 

[Shirley]

Here's the END of LIKE A PRAYER again

 

[AGinAg (37)]

What and who were Kon Kan?

I love I Beg Your Pardon.

 

[Shirley]

Yay KON KAN. I used to love this. I didn't even realise it RIPS OFF SPAGNA until recently. But if you're gonna STEAL, STEAL FROM THE BEST - Spagna and Lynn Anderson

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Don't worry we only need HALF the chorus!

Another letter on the way.

 

[monsta]

Consider me SHOOK than Kon Kan is one half of THUNDERPUSS.

Honestly I’m fucking LIVID at the Like A Prayer treatment. Just wait until she goes full on TITS & MINGE.

 

[Shirley]

Brother Beyond
HMMM

 

[Shirley]

Here are KON KAN properly feat the great BARRY HARRIS

OH GOD IT'S ANTHEA FUCKING TURNER AGAIN

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Consider me SHOOK than Kon Kan is one half of THUNDERPUSS

Oh really?

Always capable of dropping absolute bangers then.

 

[Zu]

Brother Beyond
HMMM

Was the name supposed to imply that they were all GAYS? I mean I know that Carl Fysh was quite obviously ONE OF THEM and that Nathan looked like he liked a chew on a fat one (and, allegedly, other unsavoury activities which might be libellous to mention) and I wouldn’t have put it past the other two

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm not sure I enjoy the sentinement of Americanos with retrospect.

 

[Shirley]

I'm sorry but 'Americanos' is just HORRID
