When I saw that picture I thought for a second it was Divine ....... So here`s Divine .........


When Divine appeared on Top Of The Pops on a Thursday night , the following day a bloke at work said " Who was that woman on TOTP last night ? "........

And Gary Lineker had a dump on the football pitch during an England game ( by accident ) .........

Smith and Jones sketch .........

Mel Smith : " People walking their dogs leaving all that mess on the ground ...... it`s disgusting ............ Of course , I blame the owners .... " ......

Griff Jones : ( Looking a little confused ) ... " Um , well I think it is actually the dogs ...... " ......
 
As for football .... I don`t normally follow it unless there is a big international tournament on , then I might do ( a bit ) ........ Back in 2018 or thereabouts there was the World Cup or the Euros or something on , and I was in the pub watching France play .........

Amongst the French supporters there was a " band " playing , horns ( mostly ) and drums and so on ....... All during the match they were playing this same tune , or riff , or whatever , constantly in the background .......

I was thinking " I know this tune " , but couldn`t think what it was ..... until eventually I realised what it was ........

It was this .......


BTW .... It`s Offspring , not The Offspring ......... Come on , get it right ...........

Zappa didn't do scat on stage. Urban myth. Divine got into many gagworthy scenes tho.
Pink Flamingos closing scene is ugh but the Surfin' Bird soundtrack contortionist scene is pretty funny.

Don`t know if this is what inspired the bands name , but it is said that only the completely insane can draw a perfect circle .....

That'd fit as it cannot be done. To draw a perfect circle would need a pen with a tip size of zero. Anything more would create a polygon with (infinity - 1) sides. I don't do drugs. Honestly.

Back on topic, music in the shed this am:

 

I believe playing live was unusual on TOTP ........ I think it was usually either full on miming , or live vocals over a pre recorded backing track ...... Someone once said this presented problems as the sound men were usually from The Antiques Roadshow , or something , so the tracks were pitched so low the performer could hardly hear what they were supposed to be singing along to ....... Requests to turn the bloody thing up were often ignored .........

Tah, used to do this song as a trio in the 70's, always a wining song with punters... and band alike... j

The sound folk at KEXP are exceptionally gifted, heard none better, perhaps as well, for the live sound crew UK Jethro Tull, in the days. j
 

Never a great fan of The `Ooo ........ except ( This is Top of The Pops again ) ......... When Pinball Wizard came out , Radio One DJ Tony Blackburn played it on his Breakfast Show and labelled it " Sick " ... ( that`s sick as in very bad taste , not sick as in rather very good , as it`s known today ) ...... He also labelled Chicken Shack`s version of " I`d Rather Go Blind " the same way ........

Anyway , when The Who turned up to perform Pinball Wizard on TOTP , who should be hosting the show that week but Tony Blackburn .......

I`m not sure if the show went out live back then , but I do remember TB introducing the The Who , the performance going ahead , and then when the cameras cut back to Tony Blackburn , a drumstick coming flying through the air , and hitting the tinsell covered backdrop just a couple of inches behind Tony Blackburn`s head .....( Close Keith , but no cigar ) ....... To his credit , TB kept up his giggling , smiley routine with barely a pause .......
