John Miles - slow down
A "disco smash" according to Kid, i prefer to call it some rather frenetic 70s soft rock. John Miles has a nicely sinister tache and tries some vocal effects using a pipe that hopefully wasn't used to give someone a stomach pump earlier. Its all a little disjointed.
Olivia Newton-John - Sam
A pleasing ballad, a bit bland but well performed. The sort of song and performance you got on a 70s comedy variety show. Half expected Eric and Ernie to come on.
Hot Chocolate - so you win again
Hot Chocolate are always good value, though this isn't their best song. Its performed decently but is a bit of a plodder.
Queen - good old fashioned lover boy
Kid makes a lame Jubilee link to Queen (geddit?) We see Freddie at the joanna and some typical Queen fare. Again not their best song but OK.
Archie Bell & the Drells - everybody have a good time
What kind of "good time" is this Archie considering your group's dance routine seems to consist of synchronised crotch thrusts towards the audience?
Legs & Co (plus some male friends) are on hand to dance away to Bo Kirkland & Ruth Davis' "you're gonna get next to me", all looks a bit of a rip from Soul Train.
Foster Brothers - count me out
More 70s soft rock, with a vague country feel. More dodgy taches too, they much share a barber with John Miles.
Robin the Frog - half way up the stairs
The same film as last time, its hard to get up the stairs when a man has his hand up your bum i guess.
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - anything thats rock and roll
Wow indeed it is Tom Petty, this is not a very good song or performance though. Jet lag?
Kenny Rogers - Lucille
Rod has gone off back to his private skin-tight trouser shop and our new number one is by the teddy bear of country singers Kenny Rogers. He sings in a stage set bar just to emphasise the fact the singer meets Lucille in a... you know... bar.
