The forum in which all human experience resides. Especially for fans of the now-deceased original Hall of the Wendigo. Still Number One with the core demographic.

Although most of it looks like it was filmed in the 1980s.

But it is, at least, divertingly noisy.

That was an acceptable episode, with the one massive highlight being by Sam Brown.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it.

And that sample of someone going, "Ah yeah," that turned up on every record in that era.
The sample being taken from the first 5 seconds of this 1983 live Run DMC song.

Something about that video and the lyrics make me think it wasn't meant to be heard by today's generation.

ABC have a hit.
Their last ever Top 40 hit! Stalling at number 32. And they followed the Style Council with the whole late 80s house-lite genre change.

I was thinking it's like proper dad dancing - but he'd have only been 31 at the time.

I have a feeling Frank Ifield re-released a song around this time.

That was later, in 1991. And it got to number 40.

Is this the theme tune to Prisoner: Cell Block H?
Despite this reaching number 3 and me remembering every other Top 10 hit from this time, I have absolutely no recollection of this song or her.

He's just standing around, trying to look like he's dancing.
According to Wikipedia he's just an Italian model, and therefore probably paid simply to look good with a ripped t-shirt.

Even Donna can't make it seem like an interesting song.
I'm not one for idle gossip, but legend has it that Ms. Summer refused to appear in the corresponding video as she disliked the song so much, feeling the lyrics were too "young" for her. So instead we got this naff video full of generic young people.
