Entertainment For Lively Minds
Which pop star first stirred your loins?
Posted by Brookster on 4 March 2011 - 1:43pm.
No question in my mind — the lovely Deborah singing Heart of Glass. And it was this exact video on TOTP: it's indelibly imprinted on my brain. Swirling the scarf around, the dress with the one shoulder strap. I would never be the same again. According to everyhit.com, I would have been eight-years-old.
I think I may have to go for lie down …

Kim Wilde
Kids In America was the first single I bought. I had posters of Kim everywhere!
Exactly the same for me Brookster
And the see through dress....
I was 10 though!
Ahem
I am going to lay down a tenner at Ladbrokes that within ten minutes someone has posted that picture of Kate Bush in a leotard.
David Soul for me (I only really knew him as a balladeer, as Starsky and Hutch was on a bit after my bedtime). Then I really liked Nick Heyward.
They may be the only two blondes I've ever fancied.
Always have it to hand *ahem*
but this time in colour
to be honest it was probably Sally James from TISWAS - not a pop star but she did do her sensational pop interviews
Sally does count
I remember her releasing a single when she was on Saturday Scene. It was called "Isn't it Good?". Bit of an open goal for the reviewers there.
She was, of course,
a member of The Four Bucketeers.
That would be this
Belinda Carlisle
I have a confirmed, tried and tested, hopeless weakness for redheads. It all started with Helen Powell in junior school, then at 10 or so I became aware of the HIAPOEH and all was lost.
'kin ell. Time for a lie down.
Still hold a candle for Belinda
But she, and Charlotte, came after Debs...
nb - greatest comeback single EVER...
Bob, I'd love to know...
what that acronym stands for & I do hope your good lady wife is a redhead too!
Heaven Is A Place On Earth
Hitmaker.
see also HJH (Hey Jude Hitmakers), my own invention HTWH (Honky Tonk Women Hitmakers),etc., the formula being a famous hit, prefaced by the letter H if possible, and ending with Hitmaker(s).
Ta, Mr B
It's always nice to keep up with you lot...
I get...
...an extraordinary amount of mirth from the extension of the HJH formula. Sorry about that.
And, in answer to the other question, yes, Mrs Bob is indeed a redhead, albeit more auburn than Duracell.
The ultimate Rawk Chick
Sonja out of the Curved Air
oooohh yessss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flippin eck
I thought it was Charlotte Church in that video. The one reformed group I hope to see in the near future.
Kate
They're still stirring!
Can
the can
Sad to say..
Cheryl Baker.
No I'm not going to stick a YouTube clip here.
Ha ha ha
But I admire your honesty
Nothing wrong
with our Cheryl, she was a bit of a fox back then...though I wonder if we'd have felt the same if she'd used her real name, Rita Crudgington?)
Easy.
The girls from Abba. Both of them.
More innocent times. Agnetha wrinkles her nose around 2 minutes and that's enough to make me weak.
Judith Durham (Seekers)
As a young lad, I used to find Judith Durham out of the Seekers rather attractive, I must say.
The underboss
of bass - Mrs. John Murphy (although she's not playing one here strangely)
Stevie Nicks
Although I observed recently that Christine McVie has aged far better than Stevie looks wise. And, for the ladies, Roger Waters has aged better than David Gilmour. Who'd've thought it, eh?
The fact
...that many very attractive people seem to age far less well than those of us who are, well, less attractive is one the of things that gets me through the long, dark nights.
Schoolmates and I
spent a long time debating which was Stevie and which was Lindsey. No wikipedia back in those days. I think we got the right answer in the end.
Cheryl Baker
Went to school with my sister. She was often round ours for tea. Cheryl Baker, that is. My sister lived there anyway. Oh, and Cheryl Baker isn't her real name, unsurprisingly
Get lost, Jamie. She's mine.
100% yes
Christmas 1996 was a very happy time for me as I got a copy of the first Louise solo album. The fact it was called Naked only added to my glee. Call me a cynic, but looking back, I reckon that could have been a ploy to get more sales.
Occasionally I catch Something For The Weekend. The fact that Louise is a vapid air-head with the interviewing prowess of a paperweight never fails to sadden me. A couple of weeks ago, her husband was a guest and she hen-pecked him constantly; it was excruciating.
Actually, Louise was second in my affections. It may be burnt to the base and severely scalding my hand by now, but I still very much hold a candle for Emma Bunton *sigh*
I was in a lift with her once
She's *tiny*
I see her quite regularly...
On nodding terms, if not chatting.
She definitely needs a good roast beef dinner.
"It may be burnt to the base and severely scalding my hand"
I thought you were referring to a vigorous bout of..
uh, you know.
Vanessa Paradis doing Joe Le Taxi
In fact, I got a telling off from the headmaster the morning after she appeared on TOTP for displaying a perviness rarely seen in six-year-olds in some comments to my classmates.
Rhyming Slang
In Dublin, you hail a "Joe" to get home after a long night out. Thanks to this song.
Joe Baxi
Is still used in some parts of the North West.
apparently
(according to my dad) after the boxer Joe Baksi, fought in the late 40s. I first heard the term about 1981 and my dad pointed out that it was ancient even then. Joe's wikipedia page makes reference to the rhyming slang use (although it's wiki so that could have been added in the last 5 minutes)
Definitely Joe Baxi -
term used in Bradford and the name of a local taxi firm here in the North West. No idea what or who a Baxi is, but in my experience it's allus been Baxi, not Maxi.
Joe Baxi - taxi
It was common Royal Navy slang (Jackspeak) throughout my years in the mob.
I think...
it's Joe Maxi....inallinanyways.
And of course our tram
The Luas (pronounced like "Lewis") is called the "Huey" after the Power Of Love Hitmaker
Others have quipped
that this name is appropriate for something that goes down the middle of the road...
not quite...
AFAIK a jo-maxi is a taxi - named after a kids show that ran in the early 90's. Mind you, I don't live in Dublin, so I wouldn't know. Perhaps Mr Carty could clarify?
that's it
as far as I know
I reckon...
... Jo Maxi was a retronym in the first place, because Joe le Taxi came first by a few years.
But honestly, there's no way to tell. And sure I like the Joe Baxi story better anyway!
Being...
Being a child of the 80s it was Neneh Cherry for me. However, if I was a bit older it would have to be Stevie Nicks. I saw the BBC4 documentary on Fleetwood Mac a couple of weeks ago. The way she looked in the 70s? Wow.
La Ronstadt
Linda for me.
There was that picture
In her Greatest Hits LP. Ooooh.
If we're being honest...
My first pop crush was a certain former Vauxhall Motors worker from Luton, with a fondness for a mullet - Mr Paul Young.
(In my defence, I was born in the 70s).
Me too!
I fancied Paul Young too, but definitely after David Soul. Probably the same time as Nick Heyward.
To be honest, I have gone through life finding a frighteningly high proportion of the male species attractive.
Kate Bush
I know its predictable
BUT
In defence of a lot of blokes who still sigh for her, there was definitely a lot of sadness and mystery mixed up with the the lust appeal and she did make most (not all) other female stars appear as fanciable as Simon Le Bon . And the songs really were fabulous and still sound so. I remember an interview with Tricky when he said - because of all the above - he almost didn't dare think about her.
Its love
Agnetha from ABBA...
had a profound effect on me when I wor a lad. In particular the cover of ABBA's Greatest Hits with her sitting on a park bench. I thought she was impossibly beautiful. Later on I developed a deeply-felt appreciation of her backside, seen at its curvaceous best in ABBA The Movie.
Poor Katie
been cast aside has she? Or daren't you produce the 'leotard' picture after JoLean bet on its inevitable appearance?
Kate was a bit later...
she really entered my dreams in the early 1980s. By the mid-1980s I had a life size poster of the leotard photo on my bedroom wall.
But what is the "leotard
But what is the "leotard photo" of which you speak?
Look up
to DogFacedBoy's posting and you'll see it, or at least one like it. Patrick Crowther's version is usually black and and white, I suspect the leotard may be pink, but the one above is in colour and a slightly different pose and leotard.
This is the standard shot
The leotard is pink I think as they used a colour shot for the Japanese Kick Inside vinyl
see its not pervy, its about record collecting
Gusset Line
Nup, sorry always affected a 'stroopy' on me.
Even as a young lad.
Thanks. I'm, um, very aware
Thanks. I'm, um, very aware of the picture
I posted before the picture was - it was a clumsy "oh, g'wan, post it" kind of thing, given Jolean's bet :)
Oh heavens yes
I've been glancing through some of the ABBA videos recently and I really never tire of just gazing at her: she is a wonder to me, even now. The voice is fabulous enough, but for her to look that beautiful too is just jaw-dropping
I now realise how discerning my taste was as an eight-year-old.
PS: If you're that interested in her bottom, I can heartily recommend the Ring Ring video, which has some really nice sax in the chorus, not to mention Agnetha in hot pants <whimper>
The cameraman was an idiot...
He should have set up directly behind Agnetha's behind around four feet back. Bloody amateurs.
Am I the only heretic
who always thought Anni-Frid was the prettier one?
I'm with you
Agnetha was for boys. Anni-Frid was for grown-ups.
I believe that this very
I believe that this very point was raised when someonewhoshallnotbenamed made the suggestion that ABBA were, in fact, not "all that"
One internet kicking later(at least, that's how I like to remember it) there was at least group consensus that you would, and you would.
I did cast my vote for the brunette, but could easily be convinced otherwise.
True dat
Anni-frid looked stunning in the Fernando vid, for example, but even though I have a distinct preference for darker colouring, Agnetha was the one that caused me no end of pre-pubescent confusion. Which continues to this day.
Of all the words I'd use,
Of all the words I'd use, confused is not one of them.
Let us help you: what are you confused about?
Well, I suppose
the pre-pubescent confusion was the feeling of, "I know this is nice to be looking at but I'm not quite sure why".
I also suppose I'm not confused now: I know exactly what is nice about her and why I like(d) her!
Pictures on My Wall...
Remembering my bedroom wall as a lad - Toyah, Agnetha from Abba, Kate Bush, Debbie Harry, Gaye Advert, Viv Albertine, Runaways, Belinda Carlisle and Jane Wiedlin from the Go-Go's, Bekki Bondage from Vice Squad and Wendy O'Williams of the Plasmatics, Clare Grogan and a bit later Susanna Hoffs from the Bangles...
Ahhh, so many inspirational ladies and so little wall space!
I wonder
what you used to stick them all up with..
Oh, that's gross..!
If I could find my white stick I'd beat you with it...
Olivia Newton John
Debbie Harry
Kim Wilde
Siouxsie Soux (strangely)
Oooohhh
I forgot about ONJ..
She gave me funny feelings in my tummy when I watched the You're The One That I Want video.
God, yes....
The eyes have it...
Boogie Wonderland
The Emotions (?) in tight pink spandex ISTR?
Sally Carr
was the first, in fact she still scrubs up well now but my interests quickly moved on to be followed by Kate Bush amongst others. But if I'm honest those Top of the Pops LP cover pictures caught my eye more than the original artistes whose work they covered...
Like Bob I have to confess a passion for redheads so Kirsty MacColl and Belinda Carlisle soon caught my eye too. Does anyone know if Kate Bush is a redhead as she appears to be on several early photos?
C P Grogan
Betty Boo
I was 12, she was 20, and yet I knew it would happen one day. There's still time...
Good call...
I even kidded myself that "Where Are You Baby?" was a really good song too...didn't kid friends and family though, they knew my real motives!
But...
...did you use up all your tissues?
Sadly Nature Wasn't Listening...
Hazel O'Connor
She was married to Danny Kelly dont'cha know.....
Is that...
True?
Beginning to wonder now
but if you google "Danny Kelly marries Hazel O'connor", apart from this thread, there's a couple of references to it, but it could be a Wiki scam that's been corrected.
Good work to the big man if it is true...
As the two Dannys
(Baker and Kelly) are grand wind up merchants (.....my 11 day 2nd marriage in the early 80's) I would guess its a porky pie
Blimey
I never knew that.
And there's me about to post this
A bad fright of a woman!
IMO, then there's this
EEk!
When I were a lad...
...this definitely stirred something.
I am logging off now
- to work on a time machine.
(or maybe I'll just go for a quick Lenny)
FROM THE SAME DECADE...
and a rival for the affections of Mr Jagger, Marsha Hunt on Top of the Pops doing Walk On Gilded Splinters.
I remember thinking "Hmmmm..."
Kiki Dee
was the first female pop star I remember thinking warm thoughts about. Mind you I was only about 8 or 9 so I don't think I got beyond thinking "Ooh she's a nice looking lady".
Also, she looked a bit like one of my mum's friends who I did have a full blown eary teen crush on later in life. I would go hopelessly tongue tied and bashful every time she visited.
Kiki Dee
I met her a few times at the Kashmir Klub. A lovely, friendly woman, who is ageing very gracefully.
Way back in my puberty days
they used to have the cover of a Britt Ekland lp on display in our local record shop. My mate Charlie assured me that she was "in the nip" on the picture disc inside. I didn't believe him. I've just checked; turns out he wasn't wrong:
You see what the kids are missing today
with their bloody MP3 downloads...!
Not sure...
but I think that may have been the 12" picture disc of Tonight's The Night by Rod Stewart.
Gotta be Kim
First poster I had on my wall at school. Can't find that image, but this one is, erm, most pleasing, from her head to her toes...
Siobhan Fahey
From LaNaNeeNeeNooNoo. Keren and Sara would have done at a push, but Siobhan was the Look-in Collect-a-page with the mostest.
It was ultimately doomed however - the 10 year old me didn't know how to pronounce her name!

Come to think of it, this'd make a useful addition to Word's CAPTCHA technology. Rather than "what is the fourth word" in a gobbledegook sentence, how about rating eighties vintage Bananarama in terms of desirability? Makes all sorts of sense to me.

Good Call!
I'd forgotten about her but that clip brings it all back, oh yes.
*sighs*
This was the first song
I ever owned. I had it on tape; my parents bought it for me.
I was 3 though... I'm fairly sure my loins weren't stirred by it.
Patricia
I thought for a second that was
Howard Marks
Or maybe Carles Puyol
Naah.
Carlos is better looking.
I've chatted to Allen Lanier, one of Patti's former paramours, on a few occasions. I never plucked up the courage to ask "Why???!!"
There were drugs involved, though. I suspect that says it all.
Cornflake Girl
I've got goosebumps already after listening to a snippet of her song Winter. I will have something in my eye before the end - it's what comes of having daughters. I bought the Live at Montreux CD in Fopp today for a mere three English pounds. She's lovely, even if her red hair is not natural.
Saw her live once
A guy yelled "I love you Tori".
She smiled, looked in his direction, and replied "You wouldn't want me....I'd fuck with your mind".
I can only imagine most of the other chaps in the venue all thinking "and? problem?" like I was.
Met Tori once
On the Circle Line; we chatted for about 8 stops before she got off the train. I didn't realise who she was for 4 of those. She was wearing a beret, some pointy shoes that looked a little like old fashioned plimsouls but with a heel and looked lovely.
She started talking to me by the way. Yes, you're right, I am proud of that! I was carrying a bag of spices from the Spice shop at Portobello Road.
Sandie Shaw
Used to give me a hard on long before I knew what a hard on was.
Sandy's the one, for Shaw!
Still a very attractive woman. Back in my early teens she was amazing.
I once slept in Sandie Shaw's bed
...well, to be exact she had stayed the night a few years before in a room I rented in Edinburgh back in the 1980s. The landlord had worked with her in the BBC and she occasionally travelled up to see him and his missus.
Oh Lyndsey..
Still a good song
Gigliola Cinquetti
Come si dice...
"jailbait" in italiano?
Well, I was about 12 years old
at the time............(As per the title of the thread - first etc.)
Have edited this one (I originally wrongly posted that I was 10) - she was 16 at the time - definitely self-possessed and mature enough to win the Eurovision Song Contest in '64.
It was the song as much as anything - I have to admit (though it's somewhat embarrassing) that from my early years (Buddy Holly, Connie Francis, John Leyton) through to my mid-teens(via Dusty, Walker Brothers, Turtles etc.), that I was a sucker for overwrought ballads with strings/orchestral backing. Also anything by long-haired, even vaguely Latinate women with guitars - Joan Baez, Julie Felix etc.
Good music to wallow in (at the time) and lick my metaphorical and physical wounds.
Before VCR's had a pause button
you had to hold onto your "moments" whenever they happened.
For me it was Shirlie..
2 mins 11 to 2 mins 17 seconds.
Wow. Just wow.
Julieanne Regan (All About Eve)
"sigh"
How Could I forget Francoise Hardy ?
Rumour has it
She consists entirely of sugar.
Susanna Hoffs
Not the first to stir my loins, but she certainly did stir 'em.
One of my favourite pop songs, too.
Oooooooh.....
that sideways glance she does....
Good clip of that nice Mr Gaddafi in there, too.
one for the boys, eh maybe
One for the ladies
I used to think this guy was the sexiest ever...
And I wasn't alone thinking that, so I doubt that he had to "dance with himself" very often.
Can't quite see it anymore though, the constant sneering is rather offputting to the older and wiser me!
( But watching this video again I realise why I was so attracted to Spike on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" )
EDIT: This is a seriously bad 80's video, so bad that it's rather fantastic! And I guess Patrick would have hired the photographer for the ABBA clip...he's not shy about getting close ups of bottoms, is he ?

Barbara Gaskin doing "It's My Party" with Dave Stewart, the woman from Bardo doing "One Step Further," and Tracey Ullman singing "Breakaway" with two other women in leather miniskirts, all in the studio on "Top Of The Pops." Being around 6 or 7 years old, I was aware of stirrings down below, but had no idea why. This is probably why I married a half-Jewish brunette with bobbed hair.
What's not to love
Prog musicians at number #1 for four weeks with a record that kept The Birdie Song off the top spot and was Stiff Records' first chart topper. Enjoy again.
That's...
...the very performance. Oh, dear. I think I might have to have a little lie down...
P.S. Thanks!
Have we really got this far without mentioning Nena?
Actually, this isn't the performance that first "stirred my loins." I think in the original TOTP performance, she was wearing a T-shirt that revealed her armpit hair, leading, apparently, to several complaints. I remember being utterly bewildered at the time that anyone would *complain* about the way she looked! She was (and I think still is) incredibly sexy, bodily hair or no bodily hair. I don't think anybody - even the divinities listed above (Debbie, Kate, Claire, etc) - has managed to be quite so arousing while singing a pop song.
I've seen her
on German TV a few times in the last few years. She still looks great.
She's good mates with Kim Wilde. (Nice mental image for you there.)
Nena today
She doesn't look...
...entirely unlike our very own KatyG, actually.
My work here is done
*blushes and makes celebratory cup of tea*
Pamela Stephenson
doing the pop parodies/ comedy songs on Not The Nine O'Clock News. Sexy and funny!
Actually, like many other middle aged male heterosexual posters on here, it will always be Debbie Harry.
Unless you compare her with Alizee
I understand that this is a
I understand that this is a thread on pulchritude.
but I was amused that you posted the video without the translation of the lyrics. Showing that this song is, in fact, utter, utter bollocks.
And I realize that I'm probably revealing too much about my Alizee, um, knowledge.
Who needs translation
She sings that she is bored, she has soft skin and she loves her 'goldfish' - definitely a wtf moment.
You missed the bit about her
You missed the bit about her being in the bubble bath :)
But you missed the bits about
people who rant and rave
people who get her down
courgettes
two bit extremists
people who whinge and moan
being fed up with being fed up
You know what? I actually rather like it :). Even without the video, which is just a bonus. The official video, of her being soaked in a glass box is a touch odder, I must say.
Not the first but definitely the most
Blimey. If Kate Bush had made a video like that in 1978..
Most of us would've gone blind by about 1980.
What about this one?
Elle est vraiment libertine...
Wasn't Mylene the person
Wasn't Mylene the person behind Alizée's career?
Absolutely Correct
She was definitely part of the team behind Alizee. Not sure if she wrote any of the songs. A great talent in her own right. Allegedly the first full-frontal artist in a video.
During my early loin stirring years
Linda Lewis and Chaka Khan (then in Rufus) were much admired during cease fires in the great David Bowie vs Roxy Music wars.
... and Chaka
Where I grew up, the girls didn't look like that.
Sabrina
For some reason this video has had over 14.4m hits. Can't see why, although it is one of her greatest, er, hits. That's hits.
The fickle finger of fate..
Sabrina releases this in 1988 and is panned as a pointless Italian bimbo making a career in pop on the back of an impressive set of eye-magnets.
If she'd have released it twenty years later, she'd now be wearing a number of expensive watches, driving a Ferrari, living in a nice apartment and looking forward to starting her new job as foreign secretary.
Admittedly she'd also have to subject herself to the pawing advances of a corrupt, balding, crass, short-arsed, corpulent, priapic seventy-year-old billionaire but there y'go..
The title's wrong
It should actually be "boing, boing, boing"
Are you implying
that she's 'Baggy' (Football joke)?
Well done Beany
I have a fine indie rock version of this done by Irish indie lads Something Happens - hasn't got the same attraction, somehow.
Now then now then
goodness gracious. It was never like this down our local Waterstones. More's the pity. Pan's People certainly awakened something in me. Here they go all bookish:
Ah, Beautiful Babs.
Don't know what her name is...
Dana Gillespie
The Lungs Have It!
Thank you very much for
that second clip.
Adam Ant
Especially in the video for Stand and deliver.
I forgot about Hot Gossip!
Nearly made Mary Shitehouse choke on her dentures! Ban This Sick Filth!
And to think that, thirty years on, the Daily Mail holds the choeographer up as a martyr to ageism at the BBC, forgetting her status as Number One Corruptor And Panderer Of Disgraceful Debauchery.
It was Susan Dey
for me, those corny Partridge family shows were worth watching for the lovely Susan Dey. And for the girls, I guess the eye candy wasn't too shabby either

Nick Cave. Be still my beating heart!
There was really only one choice for the teenage Goth girl. I saw him with Grinderman last year and he still leaves me weak at the knees.

the most bad tempered gig I have ever been to
the ears!
He keeps them well covered - I can see why.
As a straight man I am not one to judge, but it seems to me he looks better middle aged than he did when he was young. Feel free to correct me.
Sad but true

I´m not much of blonde guy, though. Living in Sweden, as you all know, you make out with at least a handful of them each time you go out. It gets old pretty quick.
Monica Zetterlund is still one of my favourite singers. Serenity now!
Ah yes. Monica Z
Ett lingonris som satts i cocktailglas.
Love the stuff she did with Bill Evans.
You even know your Tage Danielsson quotes, don´t you?
Arrow up!
Great thread.
Stole an entire hour from me playing through all (most) of the clips. Great to see Kate receiving so many votes. Intrigued that no one, no one mentioned Madonna, not from any part of her career. Are we all so old?
Can I just put in a vote for Julie Driscoll in that bit of film of This Wheel's on Fire. Great photography, great song, great sound, great looking singer, though not sure about the hair at all.
Adam ant has already been mentioned.
and rightly so.
My younger brother was desperately in love with Wendy...
Had the posters on the wall...
On this evidence, yes...he had a point...
I remember this ubiquitous poster
Ooohh.. Wendy James..
She always did have the sort of look that implied she could've sucked the chrome off of a ball-hitch.
A proper minx.
I was very young at
the time however Raffaella Carra did it for me, though she always performed with some bloody mouse called Topo Gigio on Italian telly. She hasn't aged well, don't know what happened to the mouse though.
Odd things one remembers..
Rafaella Cara singing Do It Do It Again on TOTP and the presenter saying that she was in the film Von Ryan's Express. A swift check of IMDB shows this to be true.
Those Swedes eh...?
Wholesome twee pop fun with Julia Lannerheim...
equal opportunities...
Why is it that,
having scrolled to the bottom of this apparently delightful thread, I can only see about 5% of the posted photos? It's simply not fair, not being able to see what everyone's drooling over.
