I got so confused, when I started seeing clips of the Beat Club, again, some years ago I thought that this could not be Dave Lee Travis as it must be a German bloke who looks like him. Now it turns out that it is him according to postings here, so was he dubbed into German or does he speak German?
@Standardfrank You can call it bopping or whatever you want to but it's dorky as hell, I laugh my ass off every time watch it. I watch it a few times a day because it's a guaranteed laugh!
@pomposo11 : Proof that not all black men can dance! = PROOF THAT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT THEIR BOPPING TO THE RHYTHM...NOT SURE WHAT THE WHITE-BOYS ARE DOING THOUGH....
I always tripped out on this tune, never knew what the band looked like since all I had were like (blush) teeny bopper magazines, didn't see videos back then, just Ed Sullivan or shows like that. Anyhow, I adore the Pirate Shirts, totally cool!!
Don't make great music like this anymore.Magic to still be able to see it through Youtube. Is that Dave Lee Travis working at the 'Beat Club" in Germany?

I never realised what a complete jerk he is. Loves the sound of his own voice and of course that german accent is so not funny

My God Dave Lee Travis had no respect for the music whatsoever...the most annoying traiat of 60s 70s DJs...thinking that they were stars of the show.

Dave Lee Travis is a stupid, pommy prick!! Can't stand his commentary - it's not even funny -by the standards of the day or today's standards.

DLT. Thought I was alone in thinking what a prat he was. Spoiled the beginning of so many songs on TOTPs. Met him once and he was even worse.

This kick ass R&B rocker should have been Alex Chilton & The Box Tops follow up to
"The Letter". Both short, and to the point. Great song, but only moderately popular.
Enjoy!
