Ahhh, the mere mention of all these things....

Try and include some of the classics that you don't normally hear at discos, such as Baltimora - Tarzan Boy
Mental as Anything - Live it Up (from Crocodile Dundee)
Murray Head - One night in Bagkok.

These youngsters need educating. I educate the masses everytime I drive through Dorking in slow traffic, ticking people off as I go by... "She's been educated...he's been educated...he's looking, good, that means he's been educated..."

Tee hee hee! That's a nice pic of Le Bon up above. He still prances around the stage like a nutter. Far too energetic for a man of his age!

i missed this thread - wow Stacey, you've made a fab choice there. If I was nearer I'd come up and take a load of photos for you all.

And the Adam Ant pic, thank you for that. It's fab. xxx
