Den Hegarty had to leave for health reasons or so it was reported at the time, the comic dynamic of the group was lost & they were never the same really. Still one great year in 1978, better that than going on for tedious ad naseum like U2 or (Take What!!!). Den Hegarty reemerged in Tiswas, the zany Saturday kids show of the early 80s.
How good is this???? It was my Mam & Dads wedding song dance. Big Kell has snoged the black bird!!!! dont know her name, butI love her. What a great, great song. I love THE DATRS XXXXXXXXXXX REPLAY
Yep, Hegarty had left by this time. I've got two Darts hits albums mostly just to get their amazing version of "Young Blood," they were amazing outfit, right in the middle of the punk era with this these high voltage versions of rock 'n' roll/r&b hits plus a few gems of their own..I agree with all the dross repeated over and over on T.V. why they don't dredge up some more of these classic clips, even though the vocals are out of sync!

We've been listening to the same grooves for the past 60 years now; that's why I have now got into world music; just love those african grooves and the music of The Tuvan Republic is awesome.
I see UR only 15 & probably still developing an appreciation of all the types of sounds around - Oh & his teeth - its called a lisp. Toyah has 1 2. :-)
I posted this because I was going out with a really lovely Welsh girl @ the time & she used to sing this to me, but changed 'I'm' to 'you're' - Special times
It pisses me of when i see clips like this just how good UK Gold was years ago now its Fools and Horses 24/7.I always remember Darts for a comical character called Den Heggarty i think but he doesn't seem to be in this clip.
Many, many years ago, I lost my virginity with this song going on in the background. For weeks & weeks after I strutted around thinking of myself as "THE DUKE of EARL".
thanks emma, i like that, my recall is walking around the local dance hall in 1979 yorkshire at the monday night teenage disco and also believing myself to be the duke of earl. too me another 3 years to shed the virginity though.....
I loved this song and even now when I hear it I try to attempt to sing it lol No good for others lol Ouch!
