This was during the British rock and roll revival of the 1970s, there were loads of rock and roll bands around at that time check out Darts, Shakin' stevens and Mud also from the 1970s on here youtube.
In that episode of the High Dennis Story, Steve Punt was played by High Dennis, Hugh Dennis was played by Bruce Willis, and the band was Showaddywaddy.
I saw them at a well dodgy bingo club in Miles platting Manchester in 1995 i think ( it was surrounded by barbed wire) Dave Bartram has always had a strange fascination for me
I did come here cause Hugh Dennis talked about them on Mock the Week. A fun song it made me wanna dance and I dont dance lol. Embrace the Love we only have each other. Peace.
Greetings from Oklahoma, I'm here cause Hugh Dennis talked about them on Mock the Week. A fun song it made me wanna dance and I dont dance lol. Embrace the Love we only have each other. Peace.
it was all a big con,brought in just as ur parents were forgetting y do u think its not about now? its because its 2 early 2 get a double bounce.like Ska it may b back but u may not b around 2 c it :}
@WILBURYCRUSH Not true. Mud's version was very poor compared to the Wads. Mud decided not to release UTMOL as a single, and lived to regret it. Just as SWW turned down the chance to release Sugar Baby Love. UTMOL belongs to the Wads.
@WILBURYCRUSH Mud decided not to release this song as a single. Lets be honest the Wads version was far superior, thats why it reached number one in the charts. It was certainly not 'stolen' as you put it. Mud were a great band, but SWW were far better musicians and enjoyed far more longevity.
I had no clue who this guy was untill about a week ago. But i am coming back for more all the time. The music is wonderful, and his stage personality is infectious (:
Just look at th fashion, very,very close to what the kids are trying to do in 2010...what was this glam ted's or what or was it a ted revival lol "you dont mess with the teds'. lol. somethingy dad used to say being a mod in the 60'.
lol met Dave Bartram in a pub in Arnesby Cock Inn i think about 20 years ago played the fruit machine with him he never said anything he was playing in other room later what a great man no big head stuff he asked me and my partner to go in astonishingso cool
im 31 on the 15th of september and thank god my parents let me listen to music thru the years so i could appreciate it then and now and thank god for youtube so everyone can listen to music old and new
@chickenindaloo hes that reeeeeeeeeeealy funny guy on mock the week (england). he loves talking about and impersonating showaddywaddy. hope that helps
@chickenindaloo British comedian who on the show mock the week does an impression of Jimmy Saville (former presenter of top of the pops) asking "Do you like the music of showaddy waddy?"
@JonasSociety4Million hahaha !!!!!!!!!!!!! now you mention it hese in my head . ( for all of you people who dont know who Hugh Dennis is hese from BBc's Outnumbered and a regular member of BBc's comedy show Mock The Week)
RIP Jimmy saville
