[astolennova]

Now go away, before he taunts you a second time.

[JC44BC]

What drugs were they taking ?

[SARJdk]

Is that Tyrion Lannister / Peter Dinklage's father (he was born the following year, 1969)

[AlienOscillator]

Briliant 60's British pop. If you can't tap your feet to this or bob your head, you must be dead!

[norrisonthespot]

At 1:33 it reminds me a little of the sort of thing Paul McCartney might compose and sing.

[reditch]

Ah ?!?!?

[medcomservis]

ебические костюмы))))))

[dirtbag1713]

punk rock

[badATchaos]

I love the hell out of this song but i can't stand the chorus.

[laggymam]

Takes me back to England ,when it was England? I was 10 remember it on top of the pops,was happy then? now a manic depressive? Wish i could dive in the screen and go back to instant happiness?

[cygnusxl5]

@laggymam I Heard That, Well Said That Man!!!

England In The 50's, 60's, 70's & Some Of The 80's - Unbeatable (especially the 60's & 70's)!!!

Just Watched A "Discovery" Documentary About Steam Trains In The 50's & 60's The Black & White Pictures Of This Country And British Culture Brings Tears To Your Eyes!

We All Had Less - But We Had Much,Much More!

[chairmanphil]

superb fantastic vocals harmonies i bought this record in 1968 still got it ..bit worn but i still play it...a testiment to carl wayne who sadly isnt with us any longer r.i.p..carl

[cledjampett]

Great stuff, one of their last great records. After this they went for a less melodic, heavy metal kind of sound, which to me saw the end of great pop groups like this and the beginning of boring rock bands - long live the Move!

[tony1721]

a classic

[zolochnaya]

GREAT song writing! Roy Wood and Bev Bevan are psychedelic royalty!!!

[22clodius]

among the best voices of pop music

[ThorstenHodge31]

[gmstarry]

man at 1:20, he looks like my dad and at 1.24, he looks like my dads best friend...

anyway this song rocks!

[werrituk]

One of my first memories of TOTP and still one of the greatest songs ever.

[SuperNevile]

Roy Wood was the master of the 3 minute pop single ~ aimed squarely at the teenyboppers (junior high?) market.~ that's where the money was ~ very shrewd. Hit after hit. This got to number 3.Trev looks happier here than in the BW clip which was his last, but still likes 'pulling faces'. Love the old TOTP sets ~ stretched aluminium foil ~ the height of cool. Probably the same foil as seen in the Whiter Shade Of Pale clip!

[Smithfieldis]

cant see the light here. Did some kid in junior high school wright this? All the song from -60s isnt the best. So bad..

[222jenson]

AH! memories.

[StLandrew1958]

I suppose I'm not educating anybody here by saying the presenter/DJ is founder member of Radio 1, Dave Cash, nowadays of BBC Radio Kent [I think], but he's heard all over the southern region of the UK.

That North American accent was acquired while working in Canada. He still has it.

BTW, always loved The Move.

[nickpackham]

@StLandrew1958 I though that was Dave Cash. Thanks for confirming that :)

[colinrichard]

Great music from a great age.............. 

[Gazolba]

Those chain necklaces are back in fashion!

[ee1961960]

Can they make more perfect pop than this?

[magicbus144]

Is that Roy Wood from Wizzard?

[Stinge1]

@magicbus144 yes and Bev Bevan yet to move on and form ELO with Jeff Lynne

[magicbus144]

@Stinge1 Hi thanks for the reply, i know some of the songs but never knew who performed them. Interesting stuff!

[Stinge1]

@magicbus144 jeff lynne was also in the traveling wilburys with tom petty,roy orbison,george harrison,bob dylan.If your interested.

[uhprah]

Two US stops, Fillmores East & West, I believe. Think the govt. banned them. As stated, "cult" band but FN great. Peace.

[journeythruthepast]

Love the chorus falsetto harmonies a la Beach Boys but impersonating the siren of a fire engine. The Move were a good cult band in the US but considered top 40 and commercial in the UK back then. Years later, people realized what an underrated, superb band they were.

[althread]

What a great song. What a great performance. They don't make them like this any more!

[Yorkmackem]

Absolutely brilliant, pop genius.

[MrOldbrummie1]

@Yorkmackem He was a genius. new the band well,

my mate of those days married the middle sister of three, Roy wood married the younger sister and Carl wayne r.i.p.was going out with the eldest

used to meet around the girls house in Kingstanding bham

[Neptuneman07]

Very cool old-school TOTP performance. I only wished BBC kept the entire back catalogue from the 60s from being deleted,

[ajsmith]

Best Top of the Pops performance of all time? Just fill with love for all 5 of them watching this for the umpteenth time.

[WESTHOE]

Is that Paul Whitehouse on the bass wearing a hat?

[JLynnefan]

No, Chris (Ace) Kefford play bass ;)

[acceitunas]

14yrs such a good era.
