Re: TOTP performances. The great and the grate.
That would explain why the lyrics seemed a little... ...dubious.
All right tonight's the night
Tonight I've made my mind up
It's time to get it right
Just like we did before
Tonight's the night all right
And though I know you ain't quite sure
You're getting all excited 'cause you don't know what's in store
So what you've got to do
Is keep our little secret
Do what I tell you to
And leave the rest to me
I'm guaranteeing you
When I get in this kind of mood
I've got a little something I can introduce to you
Hey today's the day I lay it on the line
The way to make you stay and keep me company
It's time to get my way 'cause night time is the right time
And when I'm feeling fine I like my action guaranteed
All right tonight's the night
I can't wait any longer
I'm turning out the light and locking up that door
You might put up a fight
But you'll be crying out for more
When you'll be getting what you really came here looking for
All right tonight's the night

I started reading those lyrics and I was all just like "ahh, perhaps we're all just reading stuff into it, y'know, with hindsight - projecting sinister meanings onto innocent lyrics".
And then there was the bit about the secret and I was all just like "oh, OK, that sounds a bit creepy, but y'know, it could just be a secret love affair between people who're in relationships with other people and have to sneak about and stuff".
And then...
Then...
Then.
Oh God.

It actually a cover, not as I first thought written for Shakey/anyone who'd cover it

This was the B side to Johnny Come Home,
Apparently they took the Ronnie Ray-gun stuff off another artist's recording with no credit/payment.
According to some bloke on Youtube anyway.

Miming to samples alert!!!
I love a bit of late 80s house music but blatant samples overload is a bit too much even for me. Somehow, Pump Up the Volume got it just right; a lot of the stuff that followed didn't.

Jennifer Rush, Power of Love, 1985, on TOTP now. That's one of my nans all time faves. Terrible hair and outfit, great make up.

My nomination for the worst TOTP performance of all time.

Just looking at that makes me feel like it's the run-up to Christmas 1991 and I've drunk 6 litres of Sainsburys lager out of plastic bottles.
