I just did... oh, and there's Salt 'n' Pepa, Digital Underground, Outcast, The Boys, Soul 2 Soul, Another Bad Creation, Mint Condition, Jodeci, En Vogue, Kris Kross (I couldn't stand them, but they were an all-black band), Levert, and those aren't even counting groups that began their popularity...

I am sure I'd understand this far better (let's say it was a real language) than I could understand some East Enders. Pre-i naff, innit?

She was born in the USA and she is of Filipina descent.

I used to have this 45. I've met a lot of nice South Africans, but they're all either Xosa or British. The Afrikaaners... well, no. "End thet wigh they tawk eez sew fani".

"The swan ate my behbee!"

I remember this song. It sounds a lot like "Don't Stop the Dance" by Roxy Music.

I used to have that. It was so campy - "boo hoo/for you" and then they turned round.

I had this 45 and a cassette of The Thin Red Line.

"Scissors, Paper, Rock" was the game in English-speaking countries. "The Big Bang Theory" (a TV programme) expands it to "Scissors, Paper, Rock, Lizard, Spock".

I remember watching this show all the time in the 1980s.

I just saw "Jackass 2" which had Rip Taylor in the end, looked him up, and then found this cartoon. I REMEMBER it, ut I was really small when it came on.

Was this in the (newer) Stratford Shopping centre?

Interesting...

Indeed he is! Good Lord... He's very annoying!

I still use this term when someone says something that is outrageous and untrue: "Oh, please! Don't take my mind on a trip!"

I'd tend to agree with you. The Moody's version is... well, moody.

I used to have this record! This, and "Don't You Just Know It".

Oh, she use to REALLY shake it on US TV:

Type in "A Sign of the Times"

Oh, she used to REALLY shake it on US TV. I also used to have a K-Tel collection that had this verison on it.

Shindig was almost always live. (AB and Shiveree weren't.) By the way, the orignal version of this, the girls sang live, to a prrecorded instrumental.

Yes, I know that. But they were also comprised of 2 women with late-60s hair and miniskirts and 3 men, and they sang this kind of "sunshine" music.

Oh, I remember this song very well. It was a pretty big hit around the world.

I had this 45!!!

They updated their "sound". So did the Supremes, who were also VERY popular in the same time period. (They did "weird" songs like The Happening - #1, Reflections - #2, and Love Child - #1.)

It could be, bu tthis song was released in 1976.

I'm pretty sure it was Robert Palmer. But I know I don't like Rod's version. (And I actually like Rod Stewart, but some peopel try to sing certain songs and they really mess them up. Another example: when the Hollies remade the Supremes' "Stop! in the Name of Love". It was awful.

This was hilarious. I can't believe some people take this seriously and "got offended". Obviously people at CTV got the joke.

This is too funny. Iwas REALLY freaked out when the women came out without a face, but this made me laugh.

I remember this episode...and even the UK people trying to do an "American" accent.

I remember this... but not peopel form the UK TRYING to do an "American" accent.

I remember this too. It REALLY upset me...

Glad you posted these. Iknow it was cornry, but as a kid, I LOVED this programme. My friend Renne and I used to pretend we were "Tony and Maya".

This episode didn't freak me out (I was a kid), but many of the other Series 1 of the other Space: 1999 completely scared me.

When I was a kid, this scared me a lot... Actually, most of the first series of Space: 1999" kind of gave me pause.

I love how Frankie Avalon introduces them and then they go into their routine. (One of their best, I might add, especially when Florence and Mary look at Diana and do what she sings.)

I loce how Franki Avalon introduces them and then they go into their routine...

I'm sure whoever did the subtitles doesn't speak English as a first language, but they're SO WRONG, it hurts. Otherwise, Lesley's performance is great.

I had this 45 and I played it so often the grooves got white.

I had this 45.

Even after we heard this song 20 or 40 times, it was always jarring - the end.

At the time, we thought this was "so dramatic". On hindsight, it's rather formulaic.

This really sounds a LOT like "You Keep Me Hanging On" by the Supremes.

Indeed - sort of like how in sitcoms people just push food around their plates instead of EATING it, unless it's part of the plot.

Does the "spray rinse" totally miss the mini-basket?
