Laurie Lingo & The Dipsticks - 'Convoy G.B.' (1976)

Well here is Dave Lee Travis dressed in a chicken suit with this catchy parody cover of 'Convoy G.B.' recorded here by Laurie Lingo & The Dipsticks and it is an actual TOTP performance from 1976, well here is Tony Blackburn introducing it on the 29/4/76 edition which was reshown on BBC4 on 28/4/11. All copyrights acknowledged thanks to BBC and State Records for making this possible. However more clips of TOTP-madness are coming up from that year anyway, I hope Klein had interested to pick up 1976!!

Marvelous! Thanks for uploading. DLT (apart from being an utter tw*t) looks like something from a BDSM video? Love the hairstyles. Pure 70's!

@sirtinycreep it's not that bad. When you hear music by the likes of Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black, this stuff is gold!

@TheKenfig I agree. It's simply awful. What's worse is that DLT really thinks he's good at accents.

That must be Tony's real hair, before he got his full cap wig.

@gregtheogre Get your facts right. This dreadful record is indeed from 1976. It is a parody of "Convoy", the 1975 track by C.W. McCall. The 1978 film was inspired by McCall's track. Not all songs come from films you know....

[gregtheogre]

It can not be 1976 as the movie Convoy that they refering to is from 1978...
