Top Ten.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jan 11, 2019 9:56 pm

~~Jockie~~ Jackie Wilson is still Number One.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jan 11, 2019 9:57 pm

I wonder if Jackie Wilson ever thought of making a record with Darts?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jan 11, 2019 9:59 pm

Playing out with Madonna and Open Your Heart.

Hasn't this already been Number One? Sly

How come it's getting played on the playout if it's going down the charts? Sly

That was quite a dull episode, with the only highlight being by Alison Moyet, and that wasn't that high a highlight.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited

Status Quo - Dreamin'.

A-Ha - Cry Wolf

I started taping that but realised I didn't like it, and taped over it, but I messed up the start so there's a fragment of it left on the tape.

Alison Moyet - Is This Love?

No More the Fool

Gary Moore - Over the Hills and Far Away

Spitting Image - Santa Claus is on the Dole.

A Christmas song, just in time for January.

A splendid predictive metaphor for how SI would utterly fail to realise that their moment had passed. 1984-85 they were best mates with the zeitgeist, then they spent the next 5 years pathetically hanging around trying to catch the zeitgeist's eye.

of course these days, it needs footnotes to explain half the jokes to the kidz.

See, to me that just illustrates my point, that rubber puppetry seems ludicrously out of date in the 90s. It's like Doctor Who in the Colin Baker era.

by Guest Sat Jan 12, 2019 10:58 am

Well it's no Newsoids, that's for certain. yes

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jan 12, 2019 9:12 pm

Now to watch yesterday's episode.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jan 12, 2019 9:13 pm

No falling records.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jan 12, 2019 9:13 pm

Ooh Gary Davies.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jan 12, 2019 9:13 pm

Swing Out Sister - Surrender.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jan 12, 2019 9:14 pm

I have never heard this song before.

I am quickly starting to realise why.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jan 12, 2019 9:14 pm

It is very dull.

And her voice is flat as a pancake.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jan 12, 2019 9:15 pm

Doing a duff dance routine in unison with the backing singer.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jan 12, 2019 9:15 pm

Trumpet solo.
