Dinner-hour #TOTP: an Electronic song i'd completely forgotten and need to dig out. Suede, they were *always* on GLR around this time.

The Honeyz change the line-up already? Stop ripping off the [SPOILER]s.

Fats and Small bring the classics. TLC with the song of the show.

Mandy from Bluebirds? Here? Blimey!

Our first Mystery Year comes from the week when the longest ever traffic jam locked the A6 near Lyon for 175km.

Pierre Trudeau - Katy Perry's next father-in-law - was elected prime minister of Canada.

Bon Scott from AC/DC died; Regina Spektor was born.

#TOTP was hosted by the Hand-some Peter Powell.

Five of this episode's songs were answers on Simon Mayo's "Identik-hit Quiz", so i may make even less sense than usual.

"Hot dog" - Shakin' Stevens

"Get me two hot dogs ready to go," orders the man in the white suit. Hold the ketchup, easy on the onion, no mustard.

Love to see the string of circles picture-in-picture stuff, the height of television technology and more fun than anything else in years.

"Here, Mr. Jagger, any chance of a shove?"

On video, it's Blondie with "A tow, Mick?".

"Hands off, she's mine" - The Beat

Never got the hang of this lyric, always thought it was counting in German, "eins, zwei, cheese mein".

And then they run out of words and go "la la la" for a bit.

Sounds awesome, though.
