Michaela strhakken ( i know i spelled that wrong) She was a hot sexy babe in the day and the only reason to say up til a redeculous time. Say kids whta time is................
Some of the female dancers are pretty enough, but they haven't got a clue how to dance to this track, my dancing isn't good either, but weren't these professionals?
fucking hell i remember why i hated these places.shirts and ties beer monsters leering after woman they could never pull.fuck that. spira tribe ere i come.
This is Flicks in Brechin, Angus, Scotland. The club was huge in the 80s, with buses from Dundee, Aberdeen, Glasgow turning up each week. Unbelievable really, looking back. The place was full of drunks in '88.....Es and whizz never made it to Angus until '91. Fact. Flicks hosted the legendary Rhumba for their Xmas bash in '92. The "Red-I" was the resident dance night at Flicks around that time but it was full of riff-raff (tinks).
My God. I remember the Hit Man and Her. The title sounded rubbish then and it sounds rubbish today. Part of the late-night wasteland along with The Big E, The Word, and all this shows with Mike Mansfield. The club looks grim too.
There's something a bit surreal about this vid! Pete fucking Waterman, the pop producer, introducing one of the hardest Acid tracks ever, and the big-haired birds bopping away to it!
I saw this at the time.........shit nightclubs with shit people.......anyway, I loved this tune and it still sounds great. Of course, the clueless lager boys had no king idea what this was about. Hilarious.
@xecutey Reminds me of the "we're here to pull rather than dance" group that makes up a significant percentage of your average Saturday night clientele. That is, they would "pull" of they hadn't drunk so much that they either get pissed and fall over or get on the wrong side of the security staff, ending the night spitting out their own teeth, or being taken away in a police van. As you say, it's a waste of good music.
One of the best tunes of all time now ruined in my imaginative recall functions of my brain every time I now think of it.
BTW the drugs where good in them days. But obviously they where not on any and had a great big bloody spotlight on them which, even if you where on drugs, would be enough for you do get paranoid as hell!!!
Shame. I had fun times to this tunes, off my f**king tits too!!!!
lol thought i was gonna get rick roll'd , yh humanoid rediculously ahead of it's time, easily said everyone sez shit like that, but u can compare to other dance acid tracks of 88 you can see what we mean!!!! Humanoid !!!
Given the pap that Waterman produced during the 80's, it seems a bit surreal to see him introducing this though. A bit like Cowell introducing a Death Metal act or something.
True... But remember that this was still the late 80's (88) .. So they were feeling their way from stuff like Level 42, Nick Kershaw etc... IN just two years from this ... The RAVE era had begun (already underground at that point).
By 1991 you have guys like Leyroy from The Prodigy creating dance moves that still look cool today..
