Does anyone else watch this programme? Wednesday nights @ 8.30pm.
I discovered it a few months ago (I don't really watch much tv so hadn't realised it was on earlier).
They play some good stuff....last night was "I Don't Like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats. Boy, Bob Geldof was quite cute when he was young!! It's one of my favourite songs, brings back many memories....
I understand the song was written to reflect a real event in the US where a schoolgirl went beserk with a gun and killed a number of her classmates - when asked why she did it her reply was "I don't like Mondays". I presume she did her shooting rampage on a Monday. Anyone know anything more about it?
On another note, Headliners is playing clips of new/old videos in a "search for the best song ever" or something. I sometimes see a couple of minutes of it before the news (I tape One's news most nights). Promises "Baby It's You" is on this week's selection - now there's another great song. (Am I showing my age or what???)
Anyone remember the Tracey Ullman song titled something like "they don't know about us" which at the end of the video shows her in a car with Paul McCartney - apparently he's her cousin??? I don't remember the words much but I remember liking the song when it came out - must do a search on the net some time for the words.

When asked why she went postal she said, "I don't like Mondays."

Couple of months ago, Riff and I were watching Flashys (I'm a James Colman fan) and they played "I have loved me a man" by some bloke in 1980. Then as a treat! Colman interviewed him on the show 25 years after the release of the single.
Sue will remember the dudes name, I was far too grossed out.
It was, without a doubt, the single worst music video I've ever seen.

Yeah I saw that too! I think he's pretty famous in the drag queen scene.. Mika??? Though it was the eighties and you have to give them some concessions for that alone, I have to agree that there was some pretty scarey people in that video :yes:

We sit on the couch partaking in a "hump day drink" (last night it was Jack)
Reminding ourselves how cool it was back in the 80's, although I note that the fashion industry is moving back round to some of the things that were close to my heart when I was a teenager....anyone remember
Karate Shoes
Bubblegum Jeans
Adidas Trackpants
The Bodysuit (with the three domes that done up between your legs)
Three quarter pants over stockings

I may be wrong but I always thought hump day was Wednesday cause it was the middle of the week, the hump day meaning the highest point of the "curve", it's all down hill from Wednesday mate! Could be wrong though! :ride:

Well done :niceone: It certainly is, and I think that it used to be pay day, ie: the day you could go and cash you chq at the bank, hence the ability to Drink and start the weekend off!
Or at least that was my reasoning when I was slightly younger and out there.

I know the song Linda. I also remember the shooting, but have nothing more to add than you already know. I recall some young girl going mad in a school on a Monday morning in the mid 70s (I think) and shooting the place up, and I recall hearing a radio report stating that she'd done it simply because it was a Monday. Now I sound like an echo, echo, echo, echo.

Yup. And then some gay guy covered it including the gayest video you ever saw to raise AIDS awareness.

It was Mika who covered it. Video was seriously disturbing and very risque for NZ in 1980. Funny thing tho - I'm sure I heard WT singing it in the shower this morning which has me seriously worried about what he's been up to in the last 2 weeks while I've been back in Auckland!
