[cleveroonie]

I vaguely remember she was voted best looking girl or something in one of the top music papers 1982 or 83 - well she was a cutie and had personality

[ftsjr]

Claire was a real cutie. She's still a babe.

[owdunbar]

[LongSausageMAN]

I'd still smash her back d.... what I mean is she's still a very attractive woman.

[gillsteve]

Pioneers of the JockRock era with the Associates, Simple Minds, Bluebells, Big Country, Blue Nile, Fiction Factory, Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, Jesus and Mary Chain, Cocteau Twins and later the Wets, Hue and Cry, Proclaimers, Texas, Screamers, Teenage Fan Club.

Too many to name.

In the 80's most bands in the UK charts were either from Scotland or Liverpool!!

[GBPaddling]

@matelot95 Best footballers as well.............

[Makkers1]

Wasn't simple minds from Ireland? Duran Duran, Madness, the Jam....what about them?

[bastardfingers]

@Makkers1 Simple Minds and Altered Images were Scottish, the others were English.

[barryxf]

@Makkers1 Duran Duran are from Birmingham, England. Madness I think from London, The Jam can't be sure but certainly from England.

[joshjazant3]

@barryxf Duran Duran are from Pinner Harrow from the same place as Elton John. And three miles from there in Bushy Wham. UB40 are from Birmingham. Madness are from Camden town London. The jam from London. I produced Duran Duran on 6 of there early Hits.

[barryxf]

@joshjazant3 Wikipedia states that Duran Duran were formed in Birmingham in 1978 but thnx for the info. I didn't know you produced Duran Duran in the early days, the result was brilliant, I loved those hits and still do to this day!

[joshjazant3]

@barryxf Loved those guys. very Talented, made me a couple of Bob too....

[themachman19691]

@joshjazant3 simon le bon is from there but the rest aren't.It says you're 28 on your youtube channel???so when you produced the'yre early hits you were minus-10??

[Gannondalf]

holy shit she is so unbelievably cute in this vid lol

[arita2006]

@Gannondalf She's not just cute, she's absolutely gorgeous!

[Vennegoor10]

@Gannondalf It's the fact she's not a glamour model that makes her sexy, numbnuts.

[0797000]

come on guys she did a couple of good tracks but she aint no glamour model

[brunster64]

@0797000 That's the attraction - most models are out of reach - but Claire seems like the sexy girl next door. :)

[Bruchag]

Ah...she was twice as beautiful in real life ...the Nos. 3 and 59 to Mosspark ..halcyon days,,,,

[TheCoverHeaven]

Great song

[Rathardican]

first crush...still vvv tidy....in spite of being a weegie

[dunstahorn]

Pocket Goddess. Absolutely loved her, and she's still fantastic. Great track as well.

[6headstereo]

fantastic, back in the days when being on top of the pops ment you were there.

[lostsoleful]

@6headstereo Yeah, and being number one meant you were good.

[geekpie100]

I wish someone like Clare Grogan worked in my office. I would be much happier about coming to work.

[SeventiesMania]

1:04 Michael Sheen was in this band??! ;-)

[Noodles37UK]

@SeventiesMania More like Christian Dailly, but I'm Scottish lol. Yeah Sheen's Nero was something else.

[seville7]

put me down as a sad middle aged man as well..was 15 when this came out..fancied her then..nothing changed now..

[cullyvan]

Aye, me too but I cant help thinking its a bit sad all these now middle aged men on youtube lusting after a young claire. Me - I'm just here for the music. check out the see those eyes vid, three down on the right. Man she was perfection :P

[adamant9502]

I heard this song for the first time this morning and now I can't get it out of my head.Lol.;)

[timtimfenian]

How big was my crush on Clare?!!..I still would as well!

[MisterStripeyCat]

I had a major crush on Clare Grogan back then; and nothings changed, she's still lovely.

[MisterStripeyCat]

I had a major crush pon Clare Grogan back then; and nothing has changed. She's still lovely.

[TheYellowellies]

1 of the best baselines ever

[SiriosIX]

A great all time classic. Love it. Thank you.

[cythera431]

love the Scottish-inflected "look" and "shook."

[cythera431]

this band had so many wonderful songs. This was my favorite in the '80s, because it was played fairly infrequently compared to "Happy Birthday."

[bunsomatic]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[seville7]

arrested development indeed...

[mackinl]

great song from my early teens .no the past is with us always ,great band. from great days yesterday . today .Tomorrow.

[kdhvernon]

A very good song from the dim and distant past.

[planetrockford]

MILTF

[HitchHikersBlues]

Actually it could be Claire ???

But i'm sure i seen it spelt different...

Fuck i dunno.... : D !?!?!?

[redjohn201]

The best i've seen Claire look. Sexy as hell.

[HitchHikersBlues]

@redjohn201 : it's Clare.

I don't mean to be an asshole...but she's Irish Scots.

[redjohn201]

@HitchHikersBlues You're not an asshole, i misspelt her name. Apologies, Pedant ;)

[planetrockford]

@HitchHikersBlues She's hot regardless.

[HitchHikersBlues]

@planetrockford ...Indeed !

[GRAHAM5020]

Have to say I loved Altered Images...Clair Grogan played Susan

[valhalla49]

Clare excellent Glaswegian Woman love her to bits great voice too xx

[hibbypaul1875]

Gregory picked the right one!

[philipcompton]

I had a huge crush on her!!

[cretehot]

she was also in eastenders for a couple of shows..something to do with ian beale

[randomtennisball]

God, are unplugged guitars compulsory on TOTP or something?

[quelter1]

How could someone let Clare Grogan down so badly in love?

I just want to console her.

[LadyMacalla]

tho I prefered the song they did "Happy Birthday" this was a good 80's classic song..............and I saw Clare Grogan on the tv a couple of months ago and she still looks good for her age.......

[riptup]

Clare Grogan... still would :D

[death2disco79]

@riptup I would too...and I am a girl

[airager]

@death2disco79 Nice one! can I watch please?

[death2disco79]

@airager LOL...yeah, okay ;-)

[airager]

@death2disco79 Ok, I'll bring the alchohol you bring Toyah!

[sugarkaneandchloe]

@airager( this is my proper id, I am deathdisco 79)...make it Kate Bush and it's a date ;-)

Or even better...Debbie Harry <3

I actually am not a raving homo, lol, but these are attractive women ;-) and would be Wrong to say no ;-0

[airager]

@sugarkaneandchloe Kate Bush (Wow, unbeleivable!) She was/is gorgoeous. My favourite in the 80s was Suzanne Hoffs, those eyes and legs! forget it and before her Suzi Quatro. There was something about girls from way back, I think they had to have talent then to get on. Not like today with MTV and the like. It's now only about appearance, shame. Anyway, I digress,  your turn!

[planetrockford]

@riptup Form a que behind me mate.

[djquirke1]

@riptup who wouldnt ?



[themachman19691]

[Babstbabe]

[modefan63]

[dodgysparks]

she was better in Gregorys girl!!

[nickbaldeagle01]

Don't forget people, she later appeared on Red Dwarf as Lister's girlfriend.

[L3ERy4N]

i was about 15 or 16 watching this on totps and i still have a crush on the lovely claire grogan to this day haha

[carlosdfc]

@nickbaldeagle01

She was the original Kochanski in the early series of Red-Dwarf.

And with Claire as Kochanski, I can see how she stole Dave Lister's heart.

[matelot95]

Should've been a bigger hit than it was. Easily their best.

[fibua68]

ah the lovely claire grogan

[NathLorda]

sure it was ! i remembered live performance at Generation 80 Belgian TV

[vainparasite]

Altered Images were one of the best bands of the early 80s...
