Barry Blue Do you wanna dance?

[krakenwave]

He's like the grown-up-but-never-matured version of one of those spoilt-arse, show-off kids you used to always have take the stage at a Bar-Mitzvah or wedding. The parental units responsible used to kvell like he was some kind of Sinatra-Elvis-Cassidy wonder while all the other kids present used to tip jelly down his shirt and then plan detailed ways of torturing him at Cheder.

[kvarnkulla]

well,GG must have been green with envy that he didn't get this "song"! It's absolutely perfect-turn on the turntable and the bass to full and just let's dance! GLAM ROCK AT IT'S BEST!!!

[6paths6peins]

anyone has an hd version?

[hayabusabart]

the audience needs to liven up a bit.. tossers.. maybe the spliff man got arrested before the show went on that night.. nuff said

[hayabusabart]

Another great foot stomping 70's song.. totally brill! its a shame the real LEADER GG (Gary Glitter|) never did this one.. he would have camped it up and made it really come alive.. soz Baz great song but Gaz would have done it better mate.. loved the way it started off like GG's "Do You wanna Touch" (even the title is similar.. lol) shame that BB looked more like someone off the Waltons.. keep rocking Baz!

[MonkeyHunch]

@hayabusabart Gaz would have done it better ,And really touched the kiddies on his way, glitter lol

gary glitter = a joke these days, or just a pedo

'there' 'germans'. You mean 'They are Germans' or 'They're Germans'. The Germans I know speak better English than that. And they gave us Boney M and Guildo. Have you never seen James Last's Star Parade? The Germans really love this kind of stuff. And David Hasselhoff. You've got to hand it to them - the oldest students, the youngest pensioners, the most paid holidays in between, and record trade surpluses, The Germans are laughing, believe me. And they really do like Barry Blue. Good stuff.

[krakenwave]

@hardyfh1

And they gave us Heino. A world kneels in hushed awe at this gift of a unique wonder, given by that most selflessly generous of nations unto the world.

[aftkev11]

there germans ... need to know any more ??

[ConcreteBarge]

what's up with the miserable audience!?

[jonks58]

Barry Blue Great Song!!!!!

[Meadoway40]

Not a Gary Glitter ripoff..ha ha

[jackiepriscilla]

@Meadoway40 - no!  Nothing like GG at all, thank God! Gary was rock camp; Barry was glam camp. Plus Barry wrote all his own stuff and had much better songs than this out. Though this is great. IMO! Go Barry!

[aftkev11]

ACE nuff said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lungwarmer]

[jarama77]

[MemphisMaiden]

[twold4this]

@midianholic Fair comment, you took the words out of my mouth. I shall still watch it again, though...great stuff.

[midianholic]

@twold4this So will I.

[shaggybristol]

He had two other UK chart hits - School Love and the excellent Hot Shot .......

[MYBIGKINDHEART]

did he have any other hitgs or songs apart from the two that stand out

[stusixtyone]

early to mid 70's music was the best era for real music by real bands. not including motown cause my sister did my head in with that stuff.

glad i was around

[germanoyibo]

Where have those days gone? absolutely f*ck*ng good

[john111257]

[leshan4]

[john111257]

@leshan4 DONT LISTEN..WHY SEARCH IT

[edbingey]

@leshan4 lol

[Jauly]

this is a bit too over ambitious for the very basic songwriting... I prefer the version from noia!!!!!

[shirls2]

[KayleighDawn]

[311cdiblue1]

[s666jpr]

What ever happened to Barry Blue ?

[dcupdi]

@s666jpr still alive and kicking about 10 years ago - actually met him!!

[SvenWitte97]

He have got a Facebook acount!!!!

[shirls2]

I think he was the greatest song and i loved the song and Barry and still do love Shirls xx

[slider876]

glamtastic

[danceman5000]

not as good as gary 'the glit' glitter

[TomTresh3]

I agree, and 15 years ago so would have 99% of the world!

[grantchristy]

I was about 7 when this came out & I loved it. I remember him being half white & half blue harlequin in a flared leotard but it is a hazy blipvert memory

[Liberal1969]

I love this song, but it's weird to think that this man went on to produce R&B acts like Heatwave and Cheryl Lynn.

[bartrichbarton]

sexual

[jayneee49]

lol I wore Oxford Bags and falmer jeans,,nearly broke my neck running for a bus with the jeans they were so baggy they wrapped around my legs and tripped me up ,,lolol never forgot that lol

[bine1962]

great song in the 70's...thanks for posting!

[Astra64]

Would you do the same dance that the man is doing in his video??

[worldsbiggestdipshit]

hell yes i would

[FaerieCrone]

His audience don't wanna dance apparently. Boring bunch of tossers.

[Beentakenaway123]

This is GOOD music...

[Astra64]

That was the kind of scary outfit that they wore then.....classic!! I loved Barry Blue when I was 16 and played his stuff for a while , but as with all fads it passed. But there's a strange thing, accoasionally this music comes back to haunt me and I still go through the odd phase of playing his Greatest Hits cd from time to time. Now that's scarier than his outfit!!! Lol!!!!

[Bez1960]

The 70s were really fun times, much nicer than the bleak and grim 80s...but when I see videos like this I am reminded of how frighteningly horrific the fashions were. Not that I wore anything like that, of course! But I do remember my electric-blue 20 inch wide parallels and my platform shoes poking out from underneath and my lemon star jumper!!!! Aaaaagggghhhhh!!!!! So very scarey....lol

[Astra64]

OMG!!! I remember wearing star sequined suits and High waisted Trousers. I also recall breaking my foot in a pair of 6 inch platforms!! And as for the make-up, gyuys wore just as much as us girls did, and some of them looked a lot prettier. I loved it at the time, and miss those days occasionally.

[Bez1960]

I remember the high-waisted trousers, too. The wider, the more fashionable! And Birmingham Bags...really wide flairs. When my older sister saw me in mine she said 'One gust of strong wind and you'll be off over the roof!' LOL It was all really really dreadful, but god, did we laugh in those days! Everything was funny...

[Franna6949]

Arrr but could you dance in them fancy pants and stack heels, did you have the feather cut that went with them?

[Bez1960]

I think I did have a feathercut at one point, but I never wore clothes or shoes like that, lol...as for dancing, I can't dance regardless of what I've got on my feet

[tomme1981]

Did Barry Blue release a single called 'Skiing in the Snow'??

I know you wouldn't ski anywhere else, but the single I remember from 73/74 was something to do with skiing!!

[Astra64]

"Skiing in The Snow" was by a group called Wiga's Ovation. It came out in 1973 and was a Northern Soul classic.

[Bez1960]

I vaguely remember the song you mention but I don't think it was Barry Blue...but I could be wrong

[fluffywoof]

i need someone to cling to woohoooo ~ hahaha fab stuff, thanks for sharing x

[paulkirk1962]

EVEL KNIEVEL OR WOT.....!

[cathsamali]

used to go out with a lad that looked like barry blue .happy days

[MickeyLove01]

And was he any good with his tongue?

[Handel1960]

Barry Blue! Great stuff! His two biggest hits - 'Do You Wanna Dance' and 'Dancing On A Saturday Night' are two of my favourite songs from the 1970's. They are constantly played on my i_pod in my 1970's Glam Rock section.

Good ol' Barry!

[naja46]

God this brings back memories , I was 17 when it was released , seems like yesterday . Happy days , nothing beats 70's music . Superb !!

[pierrebugblatter]

School disco 1976. Ahhh... happy days

[mike1964180]

Boy I hate this guy and I only watched this cause my mate said so.

[Andrewsmate]

Yes I do! And I just did! A great dancefloor Stomper. Thanks barry

[londongirl65]
