[Sheena]

OUR SIN’s Right Back Where We Started From May have been something of a last hurrah but what a WINNER it was.

 

[Sheena]

Clannad- ALMOST AS DREARY AS ENYA

 

[Sheena]

I quite like Be With You by The Bangles but they really should have realised the public only cared about Susanna led songs

 

[octophone]

Michael Stipe was always a bit of a... twat.

 

[Shirley]

Love the audience giving it a bit of the old WOO! YEAH! on the Double Trouble and the Rebel MC perf

Also fuck off ANTHEA

Donna Allen top hat and tails? Top hat and TITS more like

 

[Shirley]

SONIA!

 

[Shirley]

Who the MERRY HAMLET was TIM SMITH?

I forgot that M had a revival. This doesn't even sound like a remix

 

[Shirley]

LONDON NIGHTS! What a FABULOUS LOAD OF PREPOSTEROUS OLD GUFF

I-Y-I-Y-I-Y-I WANNA GET UP TONIGHT

Mr S says it has a GOOD MODULATION and that's what our EUROVISION ENTRIES NEED

 

[Sheena]

A few posts ago I discussed how much I loved London Nights. It's not GENUINELY GOOD like Requiem, but it really is MAGNIFICENT

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Atomic City was rubbish.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Breakthru is LONG FORGOTTEN in terms of Queen songs.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Keep On Rockin is a bit of a BANGER

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Donna Allen ALL OUT.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I have that CD suit.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Who thought Anthea Turner was a good idea?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

One of the London Boys has a speech impediment.

London Nights is such HOT TRASH.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

London Boys had to die to hide their DEEPLY HIDDEN GAY SHAME.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Soul II Soul INVENTED ROOF PARTIES.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I LOVE YOU'LL NEVER STOP ME FROM LOVING YOU SO MUCH.

Chaka

 

[jyxz]

Chaka

Poor old Chaka forgot some of the words

 

[FetchFugly]

FUCKING HELL at Chaka Khan.

Even by eighties TOTP standards, Nicky Campbell's Chaka intro was seriously creepy.

 

[octophone]

SHAKY? Still? Blimey - I have no memory of this at all.

 

[octophone]

Bobby Brown - shite. This episode is crushing my soul already.

 

[octophone]

Oh, I'm sorry Moopy but I have a soft spot for "My Brave Face".

 

[octophone]

Oh, this is more like it, "Manchild". Ace record.

 

[octophone]

Oh fuck off Deacon Blue. Shitehawks.

 

[octophone]

Oh, of course. Ferry 'Cross The Mersey. #JFT96

 

[Shirley]

I hated them but RICKY ROSS is far preferable to JOHNNY WALKER when you're coming down after the LIZA TARBUCK EXTRAVAGANZA on Radio 2 on a Saturday evening

 

[octophone]

Oh, the transphobic Tone Loc. Shit at the time, even shitter now.

I'd rather have crabs than listen to Johnny Walker so I can live with that.

 

[octophone]

Is that Reg Hollis?

Poor sod. Wonder what he does now?

Reg aside I am not sure I really like Sam Brown's version of Can I Get A Witness. It is just a bit much.

It's a terrible video. She was not any kind of actor and it's all very cheap and screechy.

 

[octophone]

Permacreepy Robert Palmer tries to cash in on Paul Simon's Graceland 3 years too late and just comes off a bit racist.

 

[octophone]

On The Inside!

 

[octophone]

What the fuck is up wit this Capella video? Is it 1982 again?

 

[Shirley]

It's always 1982 in Italy

 

[octophone]

Jezz, this Sinitta is even more Bontempi than usual. Is Chicken in a basket OK for you, love?

 

[octophone]

The Rebel MC! The camera crew taking the piss a bit by focusing right in on Double Trouble, at least two of whom have never seen their instrument before in their lives.

 

[octophone]

WASP were always a weird thing. Imagine running a label and saying "Get me KISS but shit".

 

[octophone]

Pink Sunshine was awfully good, wasn't it?
