Brilliant tune.
Posted for no reason other than that I just watched a rerun of TOTP from ye olde 1983 on which they featured on the closing credits. Includes some ‘long after most DJs have retired to the BBC bar’ footage of Mike Read, virtue-signalling that he’s above the run of the mill R1 deejays by singing and marching along to said song.
Bless him.
To be fair, I did kind of feel at the time that MR had more of a knowledge of pop history and context than yer average R1 personalidee…
Vic Reeves character Davey Stott was surely modelled on the Keyboard Player from Kissing The Pink?
An astounding spot there. Must have been.
Kissing the pink. Can we please have Moose the mooch and Mini breakfast come forward to accept the joint award .
It’s a snooker term, apparently. And disappointingly.
Urgh! I knew there was a reason why I hated this song.
Smug then. Smug now.
Never heard of them before, but I rather enjoyed that. Thanks.
In fact I’d like to hear some more.

In the last film I saw, I really, really, really wanted Sandra Bullock to drown.
Fantastic record – liked it (and bought it) at the time, but for some reason it now sounds even better.
