Bananarama? Nah, it's MINIPOPS !!! (retro telly)

From the UK television special, GREATEST KIDS' TV MOMENTS ... just madness!

"A biblical amount of rubbishness!"

"It's wrong on more levels than I can even imagine ..."

"They're always looking slightly off-camera like they're being threatened."

[*howls of laughter*]

The NUMBER ONE cause of paedophilia is ... sexy kids! {*giggles*}

[exilog]

child abuse !

"He gives me lovin' like nobody else, I like the way he turns me on"--that's wildly inappropriate and would probably not happen today on TV.

[bunnytube]

That's nothing compared to: "Night time is the right time, we make love ..." Pure filth. Someone channel the spirit of Mary Whitehouse!

[StanPomeray]

I remember the show, and at the time nobody I knew saw it as anything other than "kids pretending to be pop stars". Everyone's obsessed with paedophilia these days.

[bunnytube]

Britain certainly is! I don't mind the little girls "dressing up" and singing songs -- but I do object to lyrics about "making love"!  At least Kids Incorporated in the USA had the good sense to alter the lyrics of saucy songs.

[ElfinEffigy]

Haha I had two of their albums and I LOVED them, but I didn't know they were on tv.

[AlternativeBaroque]

Yeah, it's sure a shame that people look back on creepy-ass television shows and call them creepy. Because seriously, what's wrong with a six year old singing about having sex? *shoots self in the face*

[alanlovedog]

i was about 7 or 8 at the time and thought it was a great show - it was just adults who read more into it than was there.

THEY RETURNED...

[BadLactose]

When I was a little kid, I was OBSESSED with the Minipops. I would sing and dance along to the records and watch VHS tapes of the videos over and over and over again. Ah, memories of the eighties.

[SkinnedBabiesinSalt]

Even in the 1980s, there was plenty of worse songs they could have done. Imagine eight year olds in mascara and lipstick doing the following:

Touch Me (I wanna Feel your body)

Male Stripper (Strip for me Babe, Strip for you)

I Want your Sex

We Call it Aceeed

[jhillst]

Most kids probably think "making love" just means hugging and kissing.

[SmilingLiips]

@StanPomeray I agree. I used to watch it when I was a kid and I loved them! Same as I used to run around singing Madonna's "Like A Prayer" without actually knowing what it meant...Kids are pretty innocent and the girl in the vid who was actually on the show seems to think the same thing. It wasn't geared to an adult audience. Sadly there are some screwed up people in this world.

@bunnytube omg that woman was the bane of peoples lives, she was off her rocker

[Serrano2012]

a much of chipmunk voices and little children with tons, tons of make up! Sing songs such as my baby etc.....gime a man after midnight etc.. As an adult watching this..yes its wrong. What ever happened to seasme street?
