Anything by Gilbert O'Sullivan and also whilst I'm on about it, anything by Leo Sayer, pair of twats the both of 'em, I was obviously high on something other than sense during this period of my life!!

Pavlov's Dog

sishow · #4 24-01-2008, 00:36

Years ago, I used to be mistaken for a (fat) Leo Sayer. Never saw the similarities myself, but I was often stoped by customers while working and the 'fact' pointed out.

I never felt like Dancing, although I did have a paniache for wearing tight white jumpsuits and a chest wig.

Hocus Pocus by Focus.. All that insane yodeling....
A mate introduced me to their music and we used to sit around and marvel at their skill.

Oh dear, I bought that album.

2525 was a single my brother had given to him, he hated it, I loved it.

I loved an album by Punishment of Luxury called laughter Academy, not many liked that one.

I only like the original Ultravox, anything without John Foxx is total wank.

I use to love that song.

But unfortunately only ever had it on cassette back in those days.

All my old tapes are now useless since the advent of CD

landofsmiles · #16 26-01-2008, 14:26

Here they are doing it live in 1973>>>

YouTube - Focus- Hocus Pocus (live '73)

Check out the facial expressions and the warmup bouncing up and down of the singer/yodeler before he starts. Sings like he has something rammed up his backside and when he does the whistling bit his eyes almost pop out :-)

Well....it was the early seventies......there were some powerful drugs around in those days.

He probably found it easier to yodel,rather than try and remember the words.

georgelondon · #18 26-01-2008, 16:47

i loved that song by charlene..."i've never been to me"

briofoz · #19 26-01-2008, 22:30

Jethro Tull was one of my favourites, back in the day.
No-one that I knew at the time had ever heard of him!!!!

22poolip · #24 31-01-2008, 08:11

Ooh nana haya by Pussycat ....still stuck in my head from the seventies

eric-the-viking · #25 31-01-2008, 08:19

in my past distant youth i was a mobile d.j yep wheels of steel and all that.
anyway i had a 12 "white label dance mix copy for nearly a year before its release of "BROS I OWE YOU NOTHING" i loved it god knows why .
five stars "all fall down" ,was another favorite

but the best of all had to be
iron maiden "run to the hills

nelsonone · #26 31-01-2008, 08:56

I had never liked a Kiss song in my life....and despite this I just couldn't resist "I was made for lovin' you"....still can't!
