Is this the same performance as 28th January? They're certainly wearing the same clothes.
Did all women back then aspire for that Page 3 look? My memory is clouded by too much cheap cider to fully recall.
I would have edited the three-in-a-row of The Jets, Robert Palmer and Tight Fit if it had been up to me. Already fed up with 'Lion' and it's not even got to no. 1 yet.
I'm sure someone else said that lions don't actually live in the jungle and if they did they wouldn't sleep at night, that's when they hunt.

Is this one of those Musicians Union-mandated re-recordings?
Blimey, that's not the angle to go with that skirt.

Yay, Toni Basil. Funnily enough, I didn't like this at the time but grew to really like it over the years.
The former Chancellor George Osborne purchased 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' as his first single at the age of ten.
