I will never understand the stuff that is so bad it's brilliant, I guess when we fully understand human nature we're ready to turn up our toes.

[Retromantra]

This guy makes the cast of big bang theory look butch!!

[GrumpyBand]

"I was so upset that I cried all the way to chip shop" has to be one of the best lyrics ever written.

Saw Top Of The Pops with this on while on holiday at Southsea in August 1978. I was still 15 at the time. It would be on the 'Pops' again when it went higher up the chart

[The2yung2die]

we used to go to the local dance hall just to have a laugh and freak out everyone with our attitude and this came along and suddenly i could laugh punk was too divionist >> not sure thats a word but stuff got better no room for the angry stuff anymore

[bournemouth1964]

Basically a piss take of the punk scene at the time!

[mikefkingstrutter]

go john shuttleworth

[heckmacbuff]

This still makes me laugh, and I'll never forget my Dad (Gordon) switching this off in disgust and outrage.

[andy7666]

@heckmacbuff Lol, awesome! XD 

[tony671]

remember when pop was fun

[scobiedog1]

what's with the gay dancer?

[CaptainTurkeyGiblets]

@scobiedog1 You take things entirely too serious mate.

Even back then in the 70s when i was a young teenager watching this on tv i realised "the gay dancer" was having a laugh...Ya know, doing it for shits n giggles.Dunno how anyone could take it seriously tbh cos the whole song is one big laugh.

[scobiedog1]

@CaptainTurkeyGiblets...i wasn't taking it seriously, just wondering...he didn't seem to do anything at all, then, as soon as i posted the comment, he did some backing vocals!

[MoffatLee]

teen angst put how working class kids could understand

[crowsonatv]

[shoftinor]

couldn't agree more with the comment about 'the kid' Jensen

[sirkevin1967]

Kid Jensen, what a wanker

[oilcityskates]

Nice moves with the bass.
