Mind The Gap!
Trouble is...
Me & the FPO on the floor waving our hands on our own - hold on I'm off to find a few mirrors. Paul daniles stylee -that should do it!
Da Funk
Use your Imagination
And after a few Martini and lemonades I'll be up for a bit of this later:
Dancin' Dame
Pass the peroxide!
Blancmange - Livin on the ceiling

Stetching the goalposts of eighties but who cares
One for the boys...
and one for the girls...
And one for the 'not sure's'
Try This
Try This
bump over there
This might be early 90's but if the guy above can put
in a noughties mash-up then I'm having it in:
The guys..
fine with that!
Lust ... feel it in your touch
I just
SO love this track. I will be playing this clip a lot.
God
This is gorgeous!
You'd better watch out
My copy of "Ministry of Sound Anthems: Electronic 80s" arrived today.
Put that drink down
She's just become a gran..
doubly, as both her teenage twins had kids within days of each other. She,s still not 50.
Don't do it!
If only Duran Duran had taken note with their half-arsed cover version of this:
Pure class.
Pass me my white slip-ons, mother. I'm going out..
frankie says.......
Grooves...
This is the Michael Jackson I will remember... in thrall to the pure joy of singing.
Edit: Ooops, missed the 1980s bit. Oh well, these will have to do.
Let's go back
way back.......
NIGHT BOAT TO CAIRO!!
keep the floor busy
Stay jumping!
Don't blame me...
...it was one of those experimental "make your own rules" fee-paying schools in the Sussex Countryside
Isn't that the same guy
who did "Me and My Mini" on the Tube?
Memorable performance that's always stuck in my mind. I'm off for a YouTube hunt...
Thumbs in belt loops!
You can sit this one out ladies.....
Don't call me Scarface!
Not allowed, Nick.
1979.
I'd still dance to it, though.
80's schoolboy error
Argh! Embarrassing slip. I was looking for an 80's Specials track and then forgot the brief.
This woman has kissed me...
I was thinking of Chaka too, but this
I'll walk in on my feet, but I'll leave there on my back...
Some of the busiest rhymes ever made by man...
f***
that is lovely. I've wasted my life; how come I've never heard that before?
Dave Ross you're a 'gent'!
From one extreme to another...
Let's get this party started ....

Livin in my white bread world
If I was in your blood then you wouldn't be so ugly...
(Sorry, I can't stop myself.)
Turn To The Left
Woah-oh
The wind of freedom...

produced
by Jerry Dammers. Have this somewhere
Despite this being ace
it would probably clear the floor.
This'll get everyone back
My knees are shaking, baby!
Oh, come on. It's the most insanely excitable song of all time, isn't it?
Bo, bo! Bo, bo! Bo, bo! Bo, bo!
"Feels Like I'm In Love" - Kelly Marie (1980):
Time for the Erection Section
A great cover version..
Dig those squeaks from Barbara!
Oh no! So little time, so many tunes
Prince would be my first choice. But Prince is keeping all his beautiful babies to himself.
So, the other two members of the Holy Trinity:

Its getting to the point where boy meets girl
Then head down electric avenue...
the sweet sound of...........
hats off to Dave Ross indeed
Shit! this is like a flash mob and, for once, one I actually want to be a part of. Please accept this contribution from the representative of the boys in the corner with Rothman's, great grades, no girlfriends, pretty good musical taste and truly shit haircuts. Hats off!
Surprised this doesn't get covered about every five years

Alesha? Sugarbabes?
I wouldn't say it says everything about the teenage girl's 'courting' experience, but it's not far off given that there's only about three lines. And it's a hook-heavy hit record. Anytime. Anyplace. Well overdue to be dusted down and unleashed again.
It's getting late. Will your footwear cut it?
The unimprovable shoe-crazed version of the decade's best pop song
One for John Peel

One day we will dress this way again
Pull up to Big Shoulders. Square Hair
Thanks for coming everyone
your parents will be here soon to collect you soon so lets slow things down with this, take care and see you net time!
It was a pleasure Dave
She said yes! I got a smooch and a kiss to that one. When's the next one?
Shameless plug
I'm involved with an ace '80s night for sensible people (ie. most of the punters are in their 30s (at least), and are there for fun rather than "action"). The next Prom Night is on 13 February. And it's practically next door to the Word offices.

That is all.
There is an angry
dad outside standing next to his Cortina in flashers mac and pyjamas. Has anyone seen Ellsworth-Beast Major, Ellsworth-Beast Minor or Sediment?
Round the back...
...with Nibble and Orifice
should have been a massive hit..
like it myself
but there's a few round here that kick up a right hue and cry about that lot - don't let elhombremalo catch you...
