Saturday Night Live - Mr.Softee - Kid Creole & The Coconuts

Saturday Night Live - Elliot Gould (Host)

This marked the 1st "small screen" appearance anywhere of Kid Creole and The Coconuts (1980) ....

Mr. Softee was the first of two performed "en vivo" that evening on this "internationally syndicated" show.

Little while back only this clip of the two was shared publicly but the "SUITS" dismantled it.

Eventually barring any more "short stopping" activities by the "adults" we will go public again.

THE LINE UP:
Kid Creole
Coati Mundi
Addy Kaegi
Lori Eastside
Roni Griffith
Cheryl Poirier
Winston Grennan
Andrew Lloyd
Carol Colman
Mark Mazur
Peter Schott

RIP: Winston Grennan

DISCLAIMER:
The intent of this post is anthropological and not to make profit. It is strictly to share with fans and future visitors to this planet from other galaxies a part of the musical history of the aforementioned musical group blah blah blah...and I forgot one more thing...now what was it...oh yeah now I remember...BLAH ! ! !

Gracias: Coati Mundi aka Sugarcoated Andy / aka Coatimundi

I was partial to the vanilla milkshakes.

Oddly enough, their guest spot on Solid Gold isn't mentioned at Imdb.com.

Surprised to hear that they appeared on SNL so early, as they were unknown here at the time. I recall seeing them on Solid Gold in 1982 or '83.

When this originally aired, I was watching it with my gf. I kept thinking that those babes were smokin' hotttt!!!! (But I kept it to myself.) My gf looked at me and said: "I bet you like those fat b*tches, don't ya?" I played dumb, but she wasn't buying it. (3 great looking babes in bikinis and high-heels, dancing and strutting around. What's not to like?) Maybe if she'd put on a bikini and high- heels now & then - and danced around like these babes - I wouldn't have dumped her azz.
