Friday night music .... It's not cool to like this song but you do.

Some properly cringeworthy additions (many of the videos especially have aged appallingly) - Good work people (I think )

East 17 before they got famous and went all boyband.
This song actually had a green agenda message and they were a bit street.

Totally forgot about that - the video's terrible the but the tune has a fair old skool vibe and it's certainly preferable to the commercial cack that came later..

It seems that nostalgia and big hair play a large part in many entries on this thread..

All a bit shameful, all bloody good tunes though

A couple of these guys had a music shop on London Rd in Leicester (Sound Pad) opposite the sideroad that the garage I worked at from 76 was located and yes they dressed like that all the time.

Dolly was considered beyond the pale of acceptable listening by the cool kids, until she was suddenly cool again.

Too young to remember at the time, but I'm sure I would have considered it the height of uncool, not least playing such unlikely honkytonk piano with one's mother. Now, though.....another cracker, and I love to watch the grinning Hilda Woodward enjoying it so much.

The only UK #1 ever to feature a mother & son.

Still remember the first time I saw this - ToTP round a mate's house. We were both transfixed...

This one's unforgiveable. But I still like it.

When I was about 10 years old the whole school went through a Bay City Rollers phase, with a generous dollop of Gary Glitter. At the time I was revolted at this aural assault but how many of my schoolmates have developed amnesia regarding the low point in Sounds Made With The Mouth.

Aye there were some howlers back then,

You couldn't get less cool, but it still makes you tap your feet -
