[CapnKirkus]

It's always funny seeing bands that can actually play being made to mime cause of the BBC

[182jesus]

@CapnKirkus there were SO many awesome bands that were made to do that aswell! i still cannot see why they made them do that!!

[fergusil]

back in dce84,when i was 13 yrs old, i also laughed myself sill at both of their performances on totp,this one i have to say is better of the two.one thing i cant understand,in the late dec84 performance,they are at no5.here jan85,they are at no15.strangely,the single was not available in ireland,but i now have it on cd. bad manners cancanand bow wow wow go wild in the country are my other two most favourite totp performances

[spastic017]

WHY IS TOTP NEVERRRRRRRRRRR LIVE!!!!!?????????

[billyb4223]

@spastic017 Because it's not on anymore?

[spastic017]

@billyb4223 my bad, im sorry, the question should be:

why WAS TOTP never live?

[billyb4223]

@spastic017 I don't know. I think it might've been a precautionary measure just in case some nutter jumped up on stage naked or something like that! Live TV is always much more risky than recorded stuff. Shame that we live among idiots though, I think it would've made a nice 'party nation' feel...

[traciuk69]

Pete Robson aka Pete Zulu....where are you now old friend? Still in Sunderland? Still see Olga? 1st time in many years I saw that vid...still makes me laugh

[TulusKammer]

Live.

[MyCHiPsI]

is playback

[LeeRatbag]

It's not bad miming, the sound is slightly out of sych with the picture. Notice they're in perfect time with each other....

I saw this clip when it was first on TV. That was my first exposure to the Toy Dolls and they've been one of my favourite bands ever since.

[watcher99able]

@LeeRatbag Don't be daft, that bass player couldn't even play bass!

[mcvitiethebiscuit]

Lol this is rubbish miming :) love this band!!

[Bilbanzabar]

I swear they based screech from saved by the bell off of the lead singer

[FunnyVideoCollector]

wtf

[SethP666]

that drumming looked reeeeeeeeeally playback'y

[StayUgly]

@SethP666 riiiight! 'cause everything else looked like they were playing this live!

Tv is bullshit!

[sonic9301]

[ToyDollsLegendz]

[mistygal72]
