Great song. #TOTP
Great song. #TOTP
I fuckin KNEW it! #totp
Just put #TOTP on. Mrs Jaffa is very happy with Robbie being on.
And, he's doing it live, which is worth points too.
Slave to the Rhythm's video is far more batshit then I remembered. #TOTP
Jimmy's got the moves. #totp
Unnecessary 90s cover klaxon!
#TOTP
Well that was glorious in places, and gruesome in others. Well done to everyone who stuck with #TOTP for the last 3½ hours.
It's Christmas 1997 next week. Get your crackers ready. In the meantime have a great bank holiday weekend and enjoy your week.
U2 before they got shit. #totp
Not the most memorable of Five's tracks, is it?
Or is it popular amongst the five fans, and just didn't register to me when I was at my girlfriend's student house.
#TOTP
Big hair. Big lipstick. Big makeup. Big shoulder pads. Short skirt. Leather jacket with the arms pushed up to the elbows.
Jennifer Rush is the absolute stereotype of mid-80s fashion. You can not get more 1985 than this. Ever.
#TOTP
She's so cool. I'm in love. #totp
It's Friday, it _is_ 19:30.
And here's the Natalie requested!
(Mrs Jaffa is going to see Natalie Imbruglia, The Corrs and Remember Monday at Blenheim Palace in a few weeks)
#TOTP
Is it embarrassing to say I love this song? #totp
In 1997, we were so desperate for more #DoctorWho that the Teletubbies' house was a prototype for a future TARDIS design.
#TOTP
Mary Whitehouse has opened her writing desk already. #totp
Love #SherylCrow and this is also a tune for a decent #Bond film.
#TOTP
Yay the All Saints. #TOTP #1998Watch
"She's gonna get you from behind." Some people pay extra for that, I've heard. #totp
Nice eggs. #TOTP
Will the next #TOTP be any better?
Jerry Hall?!
#TOTP
Wait this again? #TOTP
Pants people. #totp
"grafting".
#TOTP
I am the walrus
#TOTP
Rhyming genius. #totp
We only get a Top 20 now? #TOTP
Love the Anadin Sisters #totp
Gloria & the Furries. #TOTP
Now THAT is what I call a tie! #totp
Not an actual lighthouse
#TOTP
I'm doing the climbing dance now. #totp
Christ no Robbie do we really have to? #TOTP
Hey Mr Sound Man don't touch that dial! #TOTP
I always thought they were American! #totp
Brayn Ferry rocking a very iffy moustache. #TOTP
Looks like a school disco at the back. #totp
Hello kids. Cheggers here. Let's Play Pop!
#TOTP
Disclaimer: Not an actual Cheggers. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. This toot was not tested on animals. The value of your pop investment may go down as well as up and you may not get back all the music invested.
Can anyone tell me what's going on here? #totp
The acapella was done well, I'll give them that. #TOTP
The middle of the great drought* of 1976. #totp
* talent drought
I hope the cleaners got paid extra this episode. #TOTP
Choon. #TOTP
Which one's The Doctor, and when does he regenerate? #TOTP
Bryan Ferry is dancing like he's got a stick up his arse. #totp
There are some great lyrics on this (as you'd expect) #TOTP
Nobody sounded like Dennis. The cat has just run out of the room. #totp
I guess it's true. Everyone was on drugs in the 1970s. #TOTP
Sorry, don't think I can take any more. See you next week! #TOTP
Guitarist: "I want to be Ziggy Stardust"
Rest of band:
Guitarist: "But as a mime!"
Rest of band:
#totp
Nu Shooz. Did not like then. Do not like now. That is all. #TOTP
Please share a thought for the boy band composers who've been out of work for years now. Barren years, while the songs piled up. #totp
Chumbawamba are wearing black and red because of course
#TOTP
Cheese. But it doesn't hold a candle to "We Are Family".
#SisterSledge #TOTP
Jesus that poor young woman looked petrified. Understandably. #TOTP
Ha, great song. And I don't think I've seen this video since 1986. #TOTP
I'd forgotten just how hilariously filthy this video is. Top marks! #TOTP
Is that Brian May on drums? And a serial killer on the double-necked guitar. #TOTP
They've got the Stars & Stripes hung upside down. Is that synth in distress? #TOTP
DON'T TOUCH THE AUDIEN... oh who am I kidding. It's the 1970s. That's all they did. #TOTP
Listen Hamilton we'll do the jokes about the clobber, you just get on and present the music, OK? #TOTP
Someone suddenly shouted at the cameraman "finish your fag & get inside, we've started broadcasting! #TOTP
Whose career lasted longer, Diddy. Yours or Tony Blackburn's?
Yeah ... who's laughing now, eh?
#TOTP
I do love the 'Nanas with all my heart, but god help us all they went to Stock Aitken & Waterman with Venus and said "do for this what you did for Dead Or Alive".
And SAW did what they were asked to, and thus the SAW Doom Years began. #TOTP
What a baseline! #totp
Frankie got a restraining order. #totp
How young does Bruce look? ! Love this song. #totp
I preferred Howard Jones myself. Anyone else? #totp
Did Nick Heywood grow up to become Nigel Farage? #totp
This is why there was a hole in the ozone layer. #totp #hairspray
"Don't worry, you didn't actually break my heart". #totp
Is Billy Ocean actually singing live? Sounds like it. #totp
I feel sorry for Jonny Marr, to be honest. Top guitarist. #totp
The Boss! #TOTP
My wife tells me his real name was "Derrick Dick" . Can this be true? #totp
Don't go anywhere #TOTP-ers, there's another mid-80s episode coming right up.
Play China Crisis. #TOTP
Love it when they let the song fade a bit before the studio manager lifts the applause sign. #totp
"Mel Mel" ??!
#totp
"Girl you're everything a man could want and more'". Yes, she's a Greggs sausage roll folks. #totp
More Mike Read? FFS! #TOTP
SKODA WAR! SKODA WAR!
#totp
Another one that's for Charideee, mate. #TOTP
Band members pretending to play instruments that don't appear in the song, which was all fairlight and drum machine. Sorry, in feeling bitter for some reason. Scritti Apoliti #totp
Animotion! There's a banger to play out with. #TOTP
Nick's forgetting the lyrics more than once in this song. #TOTP
Yes, I was one of those million-or-so who bought the single. #TOTP
Mike Read stop touching the audience challenge: level impossible. #TOTP
Billy Ocean is unsurpassable, whether he's doing ballads or boogies. #TOTP
A fantastic song this, by Johnny Marr and some soon-to-be fash bloke. #TOTP
Quite possibly the third worst thing to ever come out of the Netherlands. #TOTP
Well that was that. I hope your weekend will be all FGTH and no Vanilla. See you next time! #TOTP
"Hey Ozzy, what do you want in this video? Ballerinas, organists, or horror makeup?"
"Yes"
#TOTP
This is before Mr Politti got the estate agent job. He may have been about to join them as a youth trainee worker though. #TOTP
The singer for the Art Company looks like a wrongun. I'm sure he's not, but that hair, that tache and those shifty eyes ...
#TOTP
I do actually love Two Tribes and it easily makes my top ten of all time favourite 80s songs.
The bassline alone remains unsurpassed.
#TOTP
"Our love is history, gonna burn the letters you've been sending me"
When you ghosted someone in the 80s, you really had to take action. #TOTP
