#totp well this was a bad time to join.
#totp well this was a bad time to join.
Choon.
#LadyMarmalade #TOTP
AYE! #totp
"Gotta get up, gotta get up" is what I said to myself yesterday morning after I was inexplicably exhausted after my flu jab and I had to head down to that there London.
#TOTP
#totp Do the dance, Madonna! Yeah!
Tune! #TOTP
#totp I loved this cars song.
Billy! #TOTP
#totp Stock Aiken and Watered-down?
It's behind you! #TOTP
#totp Did he just lick his thumb and then air bass? Weurghhhh.
Bonnie. π
#TOTP
#totp Will Smith practising his boxing moves...
Just turned on, have I missed Sade? If not, play it you bastards.
#TOTP
#totp Great juxtaposition, just to demonstrate how shit this is.
When we were watching #TOTP on Friday and they played that Fat Les song and someone here said βyou'll all be singing this tomorrowβ.
Yeah. Guess what tune I just caught myself humming.
#totp Thought for a moment it might be oasis.
The drummers have gone rogue! #totp
#totp Let's all meet up in the year 2000. Actually, maybe not.
When we've just celebrated 50 years of Songs in the Key of Life, "I Just Called To Say I Love You" sounds like dismal dreck.
Blame the pinky pinky midi sound? #TOTP
KEYTA.... no wait, that's an accordian.
#TOTP
#totp Everything I do what you want to do I do it for you.
He's got the biggest horn of the night, mind.
#TOTP
#totp Lulu doesn't look 52 in this, does she? How often do you think she feasts on young virgins to keep that complexion?
Choon. #JamesBrown #Funk #TOTP
(Suspect there's going to be a lot of these)
#totp Good bass
Back to the Future is not a Christmas movie, Bates you muppet. #TOTP
#totp Do you think Five squeak as they walk / dance?
Great work from Midge, English grammar pedants notwithstanding. #TOTP
#totp Gerry likes a blow job. Sorry, a big blower. Sorry, a fan. A big fan.
Oh. Tune. I'd forgotten this. But oh my word, yes, what a tune. #TOTP
Double noughties, double eighties. Did the earth move for you? See you next time, #TOTP-ers.
Steve Wright's dad dancing is going to haunt my dreams tonight. And not in an erotic way. #TOTP
Released less than a year after the magnificence of the True Blue album. Hard to understand. #TOTP
"Scrape together some offcuts from her other videos and a film or two, that'll do lads"
#TOTP
He did his own stunt with the chandelier swing and was bricking it the whole time, apparently. #TOTP
It's not easy to outperform Jagger, but David Bowie comprehensively steals the show in this ridiculous video. #TOTP
Nobody in history has looked more mid-80s than Angela in this video. The hair, the shoulder pads, the square bloody microphone! #TOTP
"It's the Pointer Sisters and Slow Hand".
No, they did not in fact do a duet with Eric Clapton. Fortunately for all concerned.
#TOTP
This was the first Dollar song produced by Trevor Horn, and if he was "the man who invented the sound of the 80s", this is therefore the first song of the 1980s. Or something. #TOTP
#totp Not Kim's best. And that's saying something.
#totp Whatever happened to the heroes? Aunt Joan ate them all.
#totp You'd think a friend might have told her that her skirt was completely see-through.
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.
#totp I love love love the beehive and its voice.
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.
#totp Eddi Reader, what a legend. Sad to hear her partner died. Sending our love.
#totp Aerobics Kylie!
#totp Looking forward to 1988!
#totp This doesn't look like Hollywood, to be honest.
#totp I don't think the Beegees have even been to Massachusetts.
#totp Thanks for your amazing comments. Top snark tonight. Bye all!
#totp Robert Smith and some Phallicmites.
#totp Not sure what that bloke is playing on the Roland ... But it's not this
#totp I want to hear the mix of this where all we can hear is Jason's guitar
#totp The least bonkers Jackson.
Absolute tune! #TOTP
#totp I think they might be implying this is a house of ill repute.
#totp Choon!
Awkward audience dancing klaxon. #TOTP
#totp That is top of the hats, AKA where's my traffic cone gone?
Bloody hell, not Showaddywaddy again! #TOTP
#totp I think his hair is a separate conscious being.
They had actual Suzi Quatro in the actual #TOTP studio and we get to listen to ... Showaddy-bloody-waddy.
#totp "Why is my window broken, strange man I've never seen before?"
#totp Come on then, let's see your Master Jacks, then. Actually, maybe not.
Fuck's sake. Can we have Showaddywaddy back, please. #TOTP
#totp Bon Jovi gave rock a bad name.
Nice of Sinitta to invite AC/DC along to dance for her. #TOTP
#totp Their amps blew up at the start.
Second dose of fun pop-ska this episode. Not that I'm complaining. #TOTP
#totp The very best rap over Madonna's holiday ever.
#totp Claim to fame: my wife once built a willow tunnel in Richard Coles' garden.
I do not like this "lots of interviews, lots of pop news" format of #TOTP. Keep it on Radio 1 where it belongs, Vance.
#totp Oh there's the rest of them.
Belinda!!! π π π
And one of her bestest tunes, too.
#TOTP
#totp not much of a commune.
#totp Oh yeah, here we go!
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
Surprisingly downbeat for an early Adam & The Ants track. Although it's got the obligatory Burundi style drum beat. #TOTP
I keep waiting for the chair to rock a bit too far backwards and for Buster to go flying arse over tit in a comedy fashion. #TOTP
#totp So boring.
#totp They FADED iron maiden! That's asking for a fight.
#totp Can we just play "cars", please?
#totp This is what the song is about
#totp Oops she did it again again.
#totp This dancing is more my speed.
#totp She's going to loose an eye! Stop moving so fast.
#totp When she was throwing those records around they were probably worth nothing.
#totp This is where Lin Manuel got the idea for Hamilton?
#totp Bye all you nutters! ππ»ππ»
#totp Nanas just having a laugh as always!
#totp If Robert was a plant, what kind of plant would he be?
#totp Woah! Those moves.
#totp This is brilliant - what a bop.
#totp This was a time when _everyone_ was playing Gibson semi acoustics.
#totp I liked this tune too.
#totp Top SatB!!
#totp So young! Depeche club 7 juniors.
