From the archives at Slade In England....here is the ultra rare footage with changed lyrics etc etc etc....Discovered...obtained...and made available by the nice people at Slade In England.
For viewers not entirely knowledgeable with 'Blue Peter'..It was...still is for that matter, the BBC's primetime kids TV vehicle.
They never had that many bands on to be honest, maybe the Sally Anne at Xmas so it is a rare piece of footage.
The lyrics were changed from the recorded original due to their celebration of cocaine snorting which was not too clever a move on kids TV.

  • cool..i've never heard the studio version of this song..even though the video is kind of corny Slade is still #1 for me and slways will be

  • @nevetsffen

    This is NOT a studio version of the track.

    Reading the blurb accompanying the video will tell you that this was a specially recorded short for a English Kids TV programme...hence the changed lyric..and 'corny' 'video'....

    The studio version is available to hear on the 1977 LP @Whatever Happened To Slade'

  • THIS is what YouTube was created for! LOVIN' IT!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comedy version of one of their greatest songs. Usual insipid questions from presenters, no wonder Jim got sick of the pop business but as usual The Mighty Slade pulled it off. They just ruled the situation and no doubt retired to the pub.

    Long live The Mighty Slade !!

  • I remember this. Fanx for the chance to see this again. Silverspoon references on Blue Peter eh? Heh Heh Heh I was too young to know. Bless ya my man. Any chance of DO THE DIRTY footage?

  • I remember seeing it as a kid, I thought it was brilliant! .... I still do!

  • OK sheesh buddy don't get so uptight!! All i was saying is that the song is very cool and i've never heard any version of it except live...so keep your shirt on!!!!

  • great!

    Different lyrics as on the what ever happened to LP!
