    We weren't even allowed to sneeze in our exams never mind having a rock band playing in the background

    Karel Fialka looking like an extra from CHiPs.
    Cool look that in 1979/80. I always fancied being Erik Estrada's blond sidekick on a big bike speeding down the US freeways at the time.

    Not liking the Specials I'm afraid. Guess I might be in the minority here tonight on that one.

    I always wondered where the origins of interpretive dance lay.

    At least it doesn't involve ropes, which I might have expected from Flick...

    The BIG question tonight is;

    How does anyone know that "suicide is painless"? :confused:

    This Legs & Co performance helped it go No6 to next weeks No1. Nice they found some clothes this week. Except if you are FB1969.

    Cockney Rejects, Gary Numan, Junior Murvin and Average White Band skipped until later.

    Most misguided Legs & Co routine EVER! And there's stiff competition for that accolade.

    Definitely one of those songs that is better as an instrumental. The lyrics are abysmal

    I like the Manic Street Preachers' version of this.

    Hell of a gear change from 'Suicide Is Painless' to 'Midnite Dynamos'.

    Ah, the old London Routemaster buses...

    This was fondly known among my peer group as Rockabollocks

    What were you expecting? A gallows or dancing around a bottle of pills and drink? :p
