Dexy's Midnight Runners ARE ACE
I've been racking my brains since this question started last week, and failed to think of anyone that really, really deserves both barrels.
After all, there is a lot of shit out there, so hard to really pick one.

But the comment about student nights and Whigfield reminded me of my own student disco night hell... Come on Eileen. Along with the 'dance' that went with it. I hated it then, I hate it now, I will hate it to the end of time.

To rye ay? Fuck you Kevin Rowland, Fuck you.

I forgot about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ao9p3ou7-U

Before the days of wardrobe malfunctions (and no, Kev's dungaree 'n neckerchief look doesn't strictly count), you'd have background malfunctions. Any band that would still take the stage despite such a massive misuderstanding still not being fixed - is alright with me.

Gaga wouldn't do it. Go Kev!

I
Got kicked out of our Christmas company do thanks to Dexy's midnight runners.

The twist came on, so I did the twist, then the mash potato came on so I did the dance for that. Then come on Eileen came on...She wasn't impressed.

PS The head guy from Dexy's (can't remember his name) blagged the look and the song (come on Eileen) from a friend...What an asshole!

Not as cool as you think
The Jackie Wilson / Jockey Wilson background was *not* a malfunction - it was the band themselves that did it. I forget why, perhaps because it's fun to give the producers of live TV a thrombosis...

I heard that on some 80's nostalgia show.

Fortunately my tongue was firmly between my cheeks, and I stand by the original posting.
