this

and this

both so different but just remind me of my youth and such an antidote to the tedium of X Factor wannabees who have no talent and can only sing other people's songs.

Oh yes and what about this

hey ebonettes and the five town diamond skippers! If we could get our girls doing this no worries about obesity (even if Malcolm Mc C does look a bit creepy)

One thing I miss about eighties music was the ability to take the piss. The comedy/novelty records out in the summer or at Christmas.... why does no-one make those any more? And sorry Jedward but you're a pale imitation. "Bring back the Wurzels!!!"

And the men sounded like sexy men and not little boys with strangulated testes.

Ooh forgot all about Stephen! Loved that!
