Great Moments in Lip-Synching
Posted by Seamus on 11 August 2008 - 7:47pm.
I've just read Peter Guralnick's biography of Sam Cooke. In it, he mentions a TV appearance where Sam and Jackie Wilson lip-synched to Sam Cooke's Everybody Loves to Cha-Cha-Cha.
And it's on YouTube.

Cant find the one
Where it all goes pear shaped for All About Eve on TOTP. Does anyone else here like them? I really like their stuff

Keith Moon was an amusingly terrible mimer too, mainly because I don't think he ever played the same thing twice!
Not quite miming to a backing track but this one raises a chuckle every time I see it; this was our Secretary Of State, would you believe!
Blame the band
Here's Ashlee Simpson's lip-synch humiliation on "Saturday Night Live", plus background analysis.
Brace yourselves, all you Ashlee Simpson fans.
Nick Heyward
I recall forgot to start singing on Whistle Down The Wind on TOTP's. He looked very uneasy.
He is worthy of a Word interview though - I think his solo stuff is pretty good.
Owen Paul on 'Pebble Mill At One'
'Pebble Mill at One' brings back ghastly memories of being unemployed.
Or if you're the Pixies, you do it like this...
