[RebelVoDKa]

My brother went to buy Wings' Mull Of Kintyre but the record shop had run out so he came back with this instead. Even age 7, I knew he'd got the better deal.

[NUMANdroid]

Simply wonderful

[donnandarts]

Darts R back 2gether and gigging - with mad Den - only he's broken his leg so no gigs until Spring next year.

BTW - Still the best live band - EVER!!!!

[pyannaguy]

OMG!!! Where are these people, now?

Let's get the Darts back together and rock this piss-poor, sad-assed world back to its senses!!

[MultiCakes]

Den now works at a ship builders in Merseyside as a senior inventory controller......

[donnandarts]

You sure about that?!?!

Den's out of action for a while (at least 8 weeks) - broken leg... so we will all have to wait until early next year for a Darts gig...

Get better soon Den x

[Karmannah]

Hahaha...cool version of the original from 1957 by The Rays. It was the flip side of their killer hit "Silhouettes".

[ajmusic11271]

who,s the daddy carling,,,,,,,,,,,

[konjiblubben]

That is a pretty good song ;D

[FWFWFWF]

Really just a pub band who somehow made it big. Perhaps because they looked a bit weird, and had a bit of a punky do-wap feeling about them.

[lingopresley]

180 !!!

[newall7]

an enormous uk talent

big den replicates 50,s singers

fab stuff

[cossie1967]

@newall7 Great music from a great band, but to my recollection Den Hegarty is from Ireland and Rita Ray is from Ghana, No offence is meant by this post but when someone or something great is Irish we like to claim it as our own. But all the rest of the band are from the UK, and I must admit it took the whole band to make the music sound so good.

[WOODBINEXX]

the best ever british doo wop group saw them in manchester early 1980(?)

[herrdaubs]

Can't decide my fave bit... Big Den Hegarty pogoing on stage mid-set, or old Dave Kid Jensen doing a slightly creepy nonce at the end with his arm round the bird... Either way, beautiful stuff.

[fernleababe]

omg,my dad,s loves this group and so do i. love them

\

[ianl43]

Tremendous group one of our best

[ReneaB66]

brilliant!!!

[lingopresley]

AWESOME!!

[hairyhundul]

the wop man was in rocky sharp and the razors

[billy270564]

wahey.absoluteley fucking great

[mattsimplebored]

i love doo wop man! great

[Borricus]

Tenía 17 años cuando compré este disco. Los Darts me parecían entonces el no va más de la transgresión y yo quería ser como ellos. Qué inocente era todo. Qué rápido ha pasado el tiempo. Hasta siempre, queridos Derts.

[TOTTYBHOY]

my pal hated this song why??

his name was Danny Cole.

[iluvmartyd]

Nice upbeat, bouncy song! Hadn't heard of these guys before. 5*****

[locobuick]

This was the flip side of the 45 Two Silohettes on the Shade by the Rays, but it is hard to find.

[janeyeyre]

...Daddy Cool was in the charts, I was in the school hall making decorations for the windows for the school play, my friend was singing the lyrics wrong "danny coop" lol

[chezzeeX]

All the kids loved them back in the day,me included.The reason i listened to this now was because it was played on the radio the other day,and i remembered how it catchy this song was,and still is.

[elvisuk]

marvelous

[locobuick]

Venerated Scottish psychiatrist Dr. Charles Follen McKim Maloney wrote this tune for The Rays, the original recording.

[donnandarts]

My boys are used to me blasting out all of my Darts songs - in the house or car. Don't be embarrassed... your Mum rocks! Go & see them for yourself - Americana festival (Nottingham) on 13th July and tell your Mum to see them live on stage July 12th, 100 Club, Oxford St, London.

Better than ever!

[DryTearsxo]

me and my mum saw a car with a sticker saying "daddy cool on board" and mum goes, 'i remember there was a song called daddy cool' and about 5 secs later she was doing this weird dance and singing it. how embarrassing

[1HiFi45]

My uncle sang this song on a tape he gave me to transfer to digital. Wow! I didn't know he rocked like this.

[Lillenus]

Childhoodmusic <3 I loved that song as child (:

[iveco321]

i used to think dan heggerty had escped from somewhere

[saneveman]

I remember Darts from my childhood, listening to them again I realise what a great band they were. Fab vocals!

[ianl43]

A great group, love their stuff

[olemuckspreader]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tallandhandsome29]

Impossible to keep your feet still. Brilliant!

[hotcat67]

loved them in the 7o,s will hopfully get to see them this year,as there still going.

[stephrattigan]

Ah Griff looks so young and innocent on this video, bless him!

[filsgreen]

Thanks for keeping the Darts alive man,  love this band. Saw them five times at the liverpool Empire, they were just the best to an 18 year old :-)

[donnandarts]

Hey my friend - Darts are well & truly still alive 'n' kicking - I saw them last month at The 100 Club, London. The best live band EVER... and yes Den's back where he belongs & is as mad as ever - be afraid! Check them out in 2008.
