From 1982....

Oh good god Nic....

I was 12......I thought it was fab....it brought me out of my Wombles period.

# Posted by skp scott - 03/02/2012, 15:54 (GMT)

Eeeww! Did Wombles have periods??

# Posted by Navigation Road - 03/02/2012, 16:00 (GMT)

Just Madame Cholet. Apparently she was always a complete bitch when she was on.

# Posted by skp scott - 03/02/2012, 16:03 (GMT)

PMSL!!

# Posted by Alyerpal - 03/02/2012, 16:06 (GMT)

Just the 'clearing up the crap' period I think. I don't think they ever did Regency or Elizabethan....

Bugger - beat me to it Steve!

You can all sod off. The Wombles were groundbreaking.

....geddit?

considering doing it! maybe too obscure.

Orinoco ws the best Womble by the way - I think he was the dealer on the common!

@Nic - for a woman of your intelligence, that's extremely poor!

# Posted by steviestardust - 03/02/2012, 16:25 (GMT)

I put Vain - Beat the bullet on at a biker "disco" I did last weekend!

terrible production tho, sounds like a demo.

# Posted by Jez (Route 69) - 03/02/2012, 16:25 (GMT)

Got to agree with Mick about the song choice AYP,I hated that song! Worked in galavanising plant at the time when it was out (and on the radio,. 8 hour shifts staring at molten metal - after 4 you just wanted to jump in and end it all!!! It was hell

# Posted by Jez (Route 69) - 03/02/2012, 16:26 (GMT)

sounds like a top disco! (showing your age when we call them discos!!! lol)

# Posted by steviestardust - 03/02/2012, 16:28 (GMT)

well it's not really for me to say (it was top).

# Posted by Jez (Route 69) - 03/02/2012, 16:33 (GMT)

i think bikers let you know pretty sharpish!! lol

# Posted by Kingpin (Keith) - 03/02/2012, 17:28 (GMT)

This sounded much better back then!

Jimmy mcculloch, wings guitarist?

I'd have loved to have done this in a band.

# Posted by Steve Blease - 03/02/2012, 17:43 (GMT)

But I did get to do this.

# Posted by Alyerpal - 03/02/2012, 18:36 (GMT)

TBH I wasn't calling it a great song, just thought about it for the first time in ages! I do like it alot though - I like the quirktness and at the time it was fekk all like anything else.

Having a bit of a nostalgia trip at the mo......

Well I'm going to follow Jez's blinding choice with this, in a very similar vein:

And this:

&ob=av2e

# Posted by Mick Green - 04/02/2012, 00:57 (GMT)

These were a very under-rated band from the time too:

# Posted by Mick Green - 04/02/2012, 00:58 (GMT)

And, to finish, I will be in a band that covers this one day:

# Posted by Mick Green - 04/02/2012, 01:00 (GMT)

Shit - forgot about this absolute classic. Fantastic song and, I believe, very do-able for a live band:

# Posted by Alyerpal - 04/02/2012, 10:38 (GMT)

Roachford is class!

AYP

# Posted by Jez (Route 69) - 04/02/2012, 13:08 (GMT)

@Mick Green - some damn fine choices there!!! Bullet Boys were great for 2 songs in particular, that and Shoot The Preacher down were class!

# Posted by Mick Green - 04/02/2012, 21:56 (GMT)

Agreed Al!

And Jez - I also love their versions of 'Hang On St Christopher' and 'Talk To Your Daughter'.

# Posted by Alyerpal - 04/02/2012, 22:01 (GMT)

Don't you just love these trawls down memory lane?

@ Mick Green
We used to do the Roachford song about 6 years ago.
It was an awesome song to play but was a bit hit and miss with the punters.
We did it at the Hard rock cafe a few times,went down a storm.

# Posted by Jez (Route 69) - 05/02/2012, 09:16 (GMT)

bit more mellow but this one was a good end of night drunken strum-a-long!

Bloody ell. Birdhouse in your soul, Love/Hate and Sly Fox. Really diverse and total class.
