this thread has gotten somewhat off the rails so here goes for a bit of Saturday afternoon chuckle

Carl Douglas..kung fu fighting

I cant believe it has taken 7 pages to reach this masterpiece.

 

[West Side Charlie]

That Vanilla ice song is doing the rounds again, seen it on a few adds

The least one hit wonder band you could've picked here, my longdog friend.

Just a little joke, mate. Argued with lots of people who think they are trash 'cause in their opinion they recycled the same three, four chords and recorded the same song over and over. Like a one hit wonder multiplied. I always counter that you have to be really good to write dozens of absolute classics using the same three, four chords. I'll never stop listening to the Bon Scott era albums.

 

[Willie Thorne]

Chumbawamba - 'Tubthumping'. Pure nostalgia and an absolute belter.

Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye -- Steam.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Spoiler: Every time I read John Jako's name, I can't help the following playing in my mind...

 

[PITA]

This reached number 11 in the UK. I don't remember it at all but the video is worth a watch.

 

[LEONARD]

Soft Cell ??????

That Fairground Attraction one is properly annoying.

Fair enough.





No idea why Almond & Pitney - 'something's gotten hold of my heart' has been nuked.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Gene had a few hits, haunted by you, i tbjnk was their biggest.. maybe 10-12 top 20s iirc

I don't know anything else by them, We Could Be Kings I associate with bombing my nowhere near road worthy Fiat Uno to work through the summer of 98.

You can strike them from my list
