Hubby told me of this tonight ... I am looking forward to it. 

 

I will dream of being a Pans Person

I read the original Grauniad article. It sounds quite dreadful.

Joe - it sounds wonderful

 

I can picture it now, my children with friends round, and mother dancing around the house trying to copy Pans People - it'll be classic.

 

And, when it gets more up to date, I can be in Hot Gossip.

 

Bring it on

30 Brass Construction Movin'

 

I still play that now! 

Try not be Sarah Brightman - you'll have to sleep with Andrew LLoyd Webber 

Pan's people! One remembers there lowest point. Dancing to a dirge called "Get Down!" wad it Gilbert O'Sullivan? They had a bunch of dogs in the studio. Terrible! I do have fond memories of Hot Gossip though!

Their lowest point!

Who's ?

Pan's people!

Man i feel olllddd!

No hot gossip.(or dogs) tho sorry....

I remember it.  God, they were pretty dreadful

I saw one of them (Cherry Gillespie) in a club in Jermyn Street.  She danced like a Pan's Person in RL too

I don't have a dog - I shall have to improvise with cuddly toys for that one

 

And fern, my brain cannot compute your comment - errrrgh!!

She was a gossip dancer!

I know that - but to mention sleeping with and Lloyd Webber in one sentence???

 

This is a family forum

Showaddyaddy  - Under the Moon of Love.     Ooo!

.....and 5'4" singing When I Need You

Lost!

I think we all deserve a revisit.....

 

 

 

 

Wouldn't let me post the original

Owe's about that then? Jewellery jewellery jewellery, rattle rattle rattle, now then, now then, goodness gracious, God willing,up to number four, it's Boney M!

There was some rubbish music in 1976.  Just like now

A remixed dancey version.  Not too bad in a campy kind of way.  I preferred it to the original.

So did I.  No doubt it will remind some of us that those perceive halcyon days of the mid 70s that were thought of as better than the dross that's released now, were actually just as awful as the dire crap that saturates the top 40 today.

 

Still, at least artists with names like 'Chipmunk' weren't taken seriously in those days.  Unfortunately,  they are now.

Perhaps they can utilise that Irish bloke, Mick McCarthy. Close your eyes. Listen! It's Jimmy Saville! Nowthen, nowthen etc. Yep! There were some disgraceful songs then as now. But they were more popleer. I couldn't tell you what was in the Top 40 now and it probably doesn't matter.

Quite agree Garage Joe

 

No, neither could I, I remembered the top 40s of the 80s even when they were saturated with stuff I hated.  Maybe it's an age thing? 

 

Probably doesn't matter.  Singles hardly sell and drop out of the top 4 after four or five weeks.  Top 40 is saturated with auto-tuned tweeny music and tedious, cliched rap and R&B these days.  The Top 40 sounds like it did ten years ago, rap and R&B are genres that have stayed more or less static over the last ten years yet unfortunately have not died.  Musical creativity has come to a stand still.

Jockie Wilson on TOTP.

 

I'm wallowing in nostalgia on BBC4 right now.

Judith Durham and The Seekers have just started The Carnival is Over.

Now that I found you I can't let you go..............
