Liquid Gold - Dance Yourself Dizzy (Christmas TOTP '80)

[hopki605]

danced and drank myself dizzy happy days

[hugehelmet]

So cheesy, but brilliant memories.

[SuperFoxylady2010]

dance yourself dizzy so love this song great group what did happen to them

[SquireDonCristobal]

@SuperFoxylady2010 I just got introduced to them on Skype at a friends for the evening-Ellie and Ray(bass player)-hence my visit to them on Youtube. So glad Youtube manages to have so many people digging into their collections and archives and bring memories back. What a lucky generation !

[Madtaff471]

I danced my self very dizzy with this catchy tune and a rew pint's of trophy bitter the pint that thinks it's a quart, happy memories

[missmarypickford]

cheap end of disco-but i used to dance me tits off to this at 6th form discos!

[crozwayne]

My mate asked me to go and watch these in winter 1980 at Fairwater leisure centre Cwmbran, I told him to fuck off, so he went on his own and met a girl at the gig, dated her and got her up the duff. 32 years later they are still together, and I am twice divorced................. lol. Must be some moral in this forsaken story somewhere!

[tuckyuk]

@crozwayne there must be lol

[Mancunian6]

Good song but so totally over-acted (and so obviously mimed!) ... how people manage to play their electric guitars without a lead in them was nothing short of miraculous on TOTP. lol

[danielearwicker]

I remember seeing this when I was 8. I was very annoyed by the drummer constantly standing up.

[slapperlol]

loved that song was 10 .. just found it the now great tune plus good quality video aswell

[mazzakins]

Where is the CD of this band?

[MGJMESSNER]

@mazzakins In the bin?

[djrobovw1]

bloody lovely,, ive always loved this song since i was a kid,, you surtanly cant keep your ass on a seat once this gets played..... disco at its best....

[NEO3O]

Liquid memorys!!

[jawaidlatief]

Memories memories when doing my O levels.

[MsFanmail]

g8 party record

[firefoxsteve]

i remember this song so well it was the year i got my first motorbike and the chic that came with the guy delivering it was really sexy great song

[theflob]

This is a classic , but such a shame the drummer's seat was so uncomfortable for him ..

[mazzakins]

love em.really want a cd of their material.Can anyone help?

[pulrivera70]

the guitars are working without cable and electricity wow

[blackpool321]

Does she work in Funny Girls in Blackpool ????

[MalcNedd62]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that "fruit on the drums" subsequently enjoyed a lengthy tenure with The Searchers before giving it up to spend time with his fiancee Jane McDonald (cruise ship singer who became a presenter on TV's "Loose Women"). Two of the others joined a blues/rock band who have been on the ciruit for absolutely years.

[petesguitar]

@MalcNedd62 Yes correct about Wally on drums Syd on guitar joined MUD after and is still going strong as MUD2 since Les Grays death. Ray (bass) and Ellie married and own a pine furniture shop in Surrey or Kent somewhere and don't gig anymore. they all came to our jam night a few years ago along with Rob Davies from Mud and did a short set great night!!!!

[krakenwave]

To me, they always looked like a bunch of schoolteachers dressed up for a suburban pub-crawl (followed by a keys-in-the-ashtray piss-up at some Abigail's Party-style home).

[whitbyjet65]

R2D2s jizzed on her hair.

[sunshinemags]

Wow. Look at the costumes worn back then! lol.

[14hcap]

Liz Mcdonald in kitchen foil..what a thought,

[MrMagratgarlic]

nice teef

[ROoooo80]

disco had died, and this lot were it's executioners!

[vicsmith5000]

Nice bacofoil outfit. Mind you, clock what the drummer (wanker) is wearing.

God job Going Underground kept this shite off No.1 

[kidderguy]

Lol@ BigCol63, try a Rovers Return bar towel, works wonders,lol

[bemine53p]

The best legs in the business.

[richarevans1]

"Put on your dancing feet"

They don't write lyrics  like that anymore. That's definitely John Inverdale dancing back to back at 1:50.

[zomWidowmaker]

is that bob carolgees on keyboard ( wheres spit the dog )

[jpsmart59]

The new laws to bring disco back in the U.S. are currently in Congress.....lol

[simplyeightiesdotcom]

Love a bit of early 80s disco!

[Drblooter99]

She's perhaps the only TOTP performer less attractive than Jimmy Saville.

Oh, and TIny TIm of course

[Feisty1967]

Ed in the shed.

[iluvmorrissey]

Yomanda- Synth and Strings

[VANHELSING433]

FUCK ME!! WOT A TUNE!! I JUST HOPE SOMEBODY DOESN'T FUCK THIS UP WITH A COVER VERSION!!! WORRA FUCKING CLASSIC!!!

[jarama77]

@VANHELSING433 Why do you have to swear about it? Idiot!

[Feisty1967]

Jane McDonald's fella on drums.

[crazydavedisco]

Great to listen to, shit to watch - she looks like a f.ing cart horse !

[MrFrosty62]

thanks for posting this,it was a great song. there has been nothing like the 80s. wish i was back there. miss it so much.

[Jaqshit]

tell that bloke he's the drummer, not the lead singer, he's got a license to lurk, need to sit down and drum, but my mum cant see me at the back, stand up, no i'm the drummer. put some clothes on, like the song though.

[plodimus]

Lovely miming!

[djrob47]

got to admit i love this tune. and what a voice. she aint to good at miming though. fuck x factor and all the shit they put on these days none of them can sing its all bollocks. this is what music was all about. glad i grew up in the late 70s early 80s and not growing up in todays way of life. we had good times not the shit you get today. and tunes like this made it even better.

[Feisty1967]

Love Liquid Gold! If only music was this much fun these days! Music takes itself far too seriously today, what do we have? Take That, Westlife, Coldplay, Lady GaGa. Where's the humour gone?!

[VANHELSING433]

@Feisty1967

The newspapers got everybody to start slagging Jedward off. I found this on a 3 CD box by sheer pure luck.

[alanlovedog]

they certainly seem to be having fun.

[idontsignin]

did she ever sing this live without miming.

[lickyhills1]

loving the teeth!!

oh and ed on them drums!!

mmmmm

a right fox!!...

tonight!!dance dance dance...

[72jammy]

yomanda... synth n strings ... anybody noticed??? x

[Kr1s250c2]

@72jammy - Yep top track.....thats what i thought when i heard this for the first time!

[ajohnstitch]

@72jammy yeah i remember hearing yomanda for the first time and thinking wow great use of liquid gold and that it was.

[davenight]

Great voice

[kidderguy]

OMG, It's Liz Mcdonald in kitchen foil....

[BigCol63]

@kidderguy

Thanks for that - got any remedies for getting the coffee out of my keyboard now that I've spat it in there in reaction to your comment? Brilliant...

[MsFanmail]

Such a happy tune love this song so much i was so young when this song came out.

[bigcat178]

Anybody who likes this stuff I can recommend a BBC local radio station that broadcasts across middle England a show called "The Trunk of Funk" Thursday nights 7pm till 9pm or listen on line. Get down on it. 

[thozz]

Jimmy Saville... "now then, now then, rattle, rattle, jingle, jingle... say everything twice, say everything twice.." Quality. Really miss TOTP it was iconic by todays standards.... thursday evenings just arn't the same... niether is Christmas Day

[AUTORECOVERYUK]

Dam was it 30 years ago i was dancing to this as a teenager. This was a great Disco track and here in the UK we loved it to bits. Disco music to me has been the best sound around as its such happy foot tapping catchy and fun, Without the need to sell drugs shoot someone in a drive by slap your bitch up or hang out in the hood with your home boyz. Why did music go down hill so much and end up with todays rubbish. Thanks for posting this great Disco track..

[michaelkan1]

@AUTORECOVERYUK couldnt agree more

[alanlovedog]

pop music needs more custard pies.

[DaveNightingale]

Liquid Gold - from that hot bed of Disco...Brackley in Northamptonshire.

Anybody spot the sample used for Yomanda's Synth & Strings in the chorus?

[pixiewilson42]

what utter shite!!!! Britain has alot to answer for...thanks for reminding us how awful music can get !!! lol

[suzayyy64]

Is that Jane McDonald's boyfriend on the drums? She said he used to be in this group, is in the Searchers also.

Love this song tho!!

[RetroLucifer]

@suzayyy64 it is her boyfriend- ed rothe (well fiancee really :D ) ! i wonder what she thinks of his outfit in this performance :P i love this song too, a great disco classic.

[MegaBergkamp10]

@suzayyy64 Yeah thats Ed, Janes bloke, he was also in Les Grays MUD, who were much better than these or The Searchers!

[davenight]

@suzayyy64 Yes his name is Wally Rothe

[Gruntelfluk]

I would say that Liquid Gold must have been one of the first UK disco bands.. this sort of sound only came out of the US prior to 1980.. comments anyone?

[louluvscats]

1980 would'nt be complete without Liquid Gold,especially this hit,loved it when it was out and still do. It brings back some good memories of that year for me! Thanks for post! Benja :-)

[10ianpanda]

@louluvscats spot on
