TOTP debut: ?
We start July rather somberly, firstly because this show wasn't repeated again in 2016 and secondly because most songs are rubbish, inclusing the no. 1 which is already about 6 years old. The only spark of 'modernity' and 'cheer' is given by The Specials with Ghost Town, as new social unrest erupts in the Toxteth area of Liverpool among others.
Oh dear...roll on the Royal Wedding.
Bad Manners – “Can Can” (3)
No we can't.
Third World – “Dancing On The Floor (Hooked On Love)” (25) (video)
A bit of cheery reggae
The Specials – “Ghost Town” (2)
This is the highlight of the show. Which says a lot.
Quincy Jones – “Razzamatazz” (16) (Legs & Co)
No idea.
Barry Biggs – “Wide Awake In A Dream” (53)
A nightmare more like.
Linx – “Throw Away The Key” (21)
Good one, and suitably gloomy.
Rainbow – “Can’t Happen Here” (29) (video)
It has.
Michael Jackson – “One Day In Your Life” (1) (Legs & Co) (rpt from 04/06/81 + credits)
Not in my name.
The (cheerless) End.
