The People’s Songs
Wednesday, 22.00, BBC Radio 2I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor tonight, which allows us to mention that when it got to number one, Calendar showed a clip from its Whistle Test-inspired video and captioned it “amateur video”. In fact that video was the first we’d heard of them or it, when it was shown on Popworld in fact, and we never thought the record version was quite as good because it was a bit overproduced. Anyway, it’s included here because it started bands being broken via the internet and that rather than the major labels and Top of the Pops.
Talking of our Fliss, I’ll never forget when my English ‘A’ Level class back in 1979 was offered the chance of going to the theatre to watch a play in our syllabus. Acceptances were pitifully low, until we were told that Felicity Kendal was in the play – we filled the coach, mainly with testosterone-filled teenage lads from my year!
I think my favourite bit was Margo being told about the fleas –
‘Jerry! Burn EVERYTHING!!’
Felicity is all very well, but Margo was where the *real* action was.
