h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Aw Dr Hook was the maracca-wielding, eyepatch-wearing one of the combo wasn't he? He was the original Bez! It was the slightly more suave one who sang. Still, wahey to disco!

oooh Hi Nats!

I've loved Dr Hook since I was around 4 years of age. The first song I learned to sing was Sylvia's Mother (back in 1979) *realises that makes her look REALLY old * Oh drat.

Mum loves Dr Hook and it was her who got me into them.

Hello Vicki!

Well I was wondering which song it was...but 'Sexy Eyes' has been in my head for the bulk of this morning, thanks to your (mother's?!) influence...

I was always a bit uneasy about 'A Little More', though - the singer makes himself sound like a persistent pest in the chorus!

(The first song I learned to sing was by the Bay City Rollers, so no need to fret! ).

Carry Me. *shudders* That song, I don't like. He sounds like a raving banchie!!!

Go shout at mum for sticking songs in your head. She doesn't get told off very often, but I'm sure she's overdue for a ticking off. Dare you

I'm glad we're in agreement on that one! Is most disturbing.

I wonder whatever happened to Sylvia...

I couldn't possibly - I met your mother at the meet-up and I reckon she is far too nice to ever merit a ticking off!

Oh go on then...

She made that much of an impression on you then!!!

Coz I'm a good girl, I yam!




But we won't discuss the time the bouncer lifted me up to the window of the coach, so I could get a kiss off them all </>

and the operator sez 40 cents more for the next three minutes....

Wolfie!

How are you, you old reprobate?

Mrs Avery I just want to talk to her,I'll only kep her a while..

Arrghhh I can't believe it's spilled into a new week! I spent all weekend trying to forget Ray Sawyer and co's (yes! Now I know their names!) up-tempo country rock melodies out of my head!

*giggles*

See.. even you are hooked too!!

Baby makes her blue jeans talk

Night time in the city, magic in the air
The action starts at midnight, she'll be there

Hooray! It's happened! The Hook have lost their spell - it's 'Wouldn't It Be Good' for me today, thanks to the front page.

(Which is just as well, as I was about to start campaigning for a Racey revival).

That was when Virtuouschuffed found her own liking for music.

She adored Nik Kershaw..



... weeell until Adam Ant came along..


Prince Charming, Prince Charming...

Now Adam *was* good. That Prince Charming video - the effect it had on everyone at school! It's still hypnotic and makes me want to a bit - it's Diana Dors waving a wand about that does it isn't it? And wasn't he pretty?

That's more like it!

Yes he was VERY pretty..

I was quite happy with them growing up to that, then Aha and then Wham!




But,





...then....










... they....









... discovered....


















Guns 'n' Roses!!!!!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.

Oh the memories!!

Me, driving home with Bon Jovi.

Parking in the driveway, only to be blasted out by music coming from the back of the house..

Then finding VV and VC with the bedroom window wide open, the speakers on the window ledge, playing G'n'R for the couple at the back of the house at full volume!!!
