Tune! #TOTP
Tune! #TOTP
Tune! Again! #TOTP
Top of the Hats. #TOTP
Sublime lyrics.
#TOTP
Elton in pre-syrup days. #TOTP
SORT OF KEYTAR KLAXON
#totp
Fuck off The Proms, where's #TOTP?
Baby Heyward.
Also: tune! #TOTP
He's got a very big sax.
#TOTP
Heckin Wimdy for the Quo there. #TOTP
Even my telly is saying it's time to stop watching #TOTP.
Hated this at the time. Absolutely appreciate it now. #TOTP
Never heard of them, but she's got a voice and a half doesn't she. #TOTP
Johnnie looks like a bit of a loser. You're better off without him. #TOTP
I've never seen this video before. I don't feel like I've missed much. #TOTP
SOMEWHERE IN THIS TOWN KLAXON.
Probably at the jail, Phil, don't you think?
#TOTP
Yikes, for a split second I thought that was Sav*le presenting. But only David Hamilton, phew. #TOTP
Got mixed up for a second between B A Robertson and B A Baracus and yeah that would've been very different. #TOTP
DEPESHAY KLAXON!
Although now I know that in Vince Clarke era Mode, that was the correct pronounciation. #TOTP
Nearly three hours of that. But we're still standing as Elton might have said. Or at least still sitting here on the sofa.
Thank you for the company boys and girls and everyones. It's been a blast.

Even more bizarrely, neither Catch The Sun by Doves nor Cryptik Souls Crew by Len appear anywhere in the TOTP Archives list of performances. Both artists are found, but there is no record of either of them playing those songs on #TOTP.
RE: #TOTP because I used it to set up the Now Playing bot. The first two tracks were S Club 7 - Reach, and Stephen Gateley - New Beginning.
And indeed that's what the TOTP Archives website confirms was on the original broadcast back in the year 2000: https://totparchive.co.uk/episode.php?id=1890
But if you go to the iPlayer version (https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0032wtl/top-of-the-pops-09062000), the first two tracks are Len - Cryptik Souls Crew, and Doves - Catch The Sun.
The rest of the stream then proceeds as per the broadcast version. How very strange.
When we were watching #TOTP on Friday and they played that Fat Les song and someone here said โyou'll all be singing this tomorrowโ.
Yeah. Guess what tune I just caught myself humming.
Absolute tune! #TOTP
Awkward audience dancing klaxon. #TOTP
Fuck's sake. Can we have Showaddywaddy back, please. #TOTP
Nice of Sinitta to invite AC/DC along to dance for her. #TOTP
Belinda!!! ๐ ๐ ๐
And one of her bestest tunes, too.
#TOTP
Does it count for Top of the Hats if it's the backing ... singer? Dancer? Crowd enthusing person? #TOTP
Nice of her to invite a metal band to mime on stage with her. I wonder what song they're listening to? #TOTP
I'm fairly sure that Mr Jive and Mr Bunny never sang a word on any of their singles, but oh no it's Milli Vanilli that everyone reserves the scorn for. ๐
#TOTP
Gary! No! Oh god he's prodded the "how long can you stay at number one" gods demons and now they are going to summon forth a Bryan Adams and a Wet Wet Wet.
#TOTP
Well that all had its ups and downs, and a surprisingly low Top of the Hats count.
Get some extra supplies in for next week Poppers, we've got five (yes, count 'em!) episodes to sit through. See you then!
