Joe Dolce keeping 'Vienna' off top spot was a travesty Cool

On a slightly different note, I found it funny when Cyndi Lauper's 'She Bop' hit number one in the USA before they all realised she was singing about the female equivalent of The Vapours 'Turning Japanese'. The 'going down south......' lyric was way above most American's heads !

Blimey Mishi. That's a motley assortment of dreadful music.

One mustn't forget the Barron Knights - the ultimate take off group of the 1960s.

Which the BBC wouldn't play because it was a bit rude (kid's stuff today). It was of course the B-side to 'Funky Moped', sung by Carrott and played by the ELO, and which brought a cod Brummie accent into the nation's homes. This was quite a shock for some people...
