Dinner-hour #TOTP: an Electronic song i'd completely forgotten and need to dig out.
-
"Together we are beautiful" - Fern Kinney
As played by Terry Wogan in the kitchen, while /me was prepared for school. Seemingly every morning for about half a term.
"Baby, i love you" - The Ramones
With the New Wall of Sound from a producer we don't talk about.
On the right equipment, this sounds absolutely massive and utterly inescapable.
When played by the #TOTP Orchestra, however...

"Carrie" - Cliff Richard
Peter says, "We don't talk any more about Cliff not having hits."
Very droll, Peter, very good.

"Running free" - Iron Maiden
With the original lead singer Paul D'Anno, because Bruce Dickinson was still in contention for the fencing team.
All of the riffs and beats are there, but the lyric is far too basic and accessible for Imperial Phase Maiden.

Left ear: "Never trust a man with short legs. His brains are too close to his bottom."
Right ear: "Cumberland. Gwent. Hampshire. Antrim. Clackmannan."
"Coward of the county" - Kenny Rogers

"Who's in for some Ludo? Kirk, Uhura, Bones, Producer In The Red Shirt?"
"Not the second-in-command?""Games without front ears" - Peter Gabriel
Our first Mystery Year was 1980.

Our first Mystery Year was 1980.
Our second Mystery Year comes from a very cold week, barely above freezing.
Grange Hill was on holiday: Robbie and Ziggy go blagging, we find Julia Glover's father emotionally stunted, and Zammo visits the amusement arcade.
Q.E.D. went on a Round Britain Whizz, 4000 miles of coastline in 40 minutes.
#TOTP was hosted by HRH the Queen of England Janice Long, but Count Mike Read.

"Don't waste my time" - Paul Hardcastle (and Carol Kenyon)
She was the session vocalist on Heaven 17's "Temptation" a few years back, and adds some very memorable lines to this jazz-funk song. Skips joyfully through her rejection of all things blokeish, and hastens the day when Carol's moved on with her life.
While in the studio, producer Michael Hurll asked Paul (with the keytar) to write a new theme for #TOTP. And could he have "The wizard" next week purlease? Paul obliged.

"Chain reaction" - Diana Ross
A fun (if slightly baffling) few minutes. The video's storyline is interesting enough to distract from the seedy nature of the song, which probably isn't about nuclear war.
Wonder what the Junior Anti-Sex League representative will say?

Some years later, songwriters The Bee Gees put out their own version of this song, calling it "Secret love".
The video features young lovers looking at each other through an aquarium with fish swimming, an idea later used by Baz Luhrmann in "Romeo + Juliet".
More from Baz in the 1999 thread... soon.
