Your favourite "embarassing" record

[Lush]

Seagulls Ska aside, what's your favourite embarassing/novelty record that you actually like and play regularly, even though you wouldn't admit it to many people (except to the 100s of people who log onto NSC...)

Mine is...

Crazy Horses by The Osmonds

I love it!!!!

Mine was throwing up 3 times coming home from a trip to france when i was younger.

Or it could be Tiger Feet by mud. Used to love doing the dance moves. Thumbs in your belt.

I like that, didn't know McFly were embarassing. But I am very out of touch from the popular beat combo scene.

When I went home to my mum's a Christmas she made me pack up loads of old books/tapes/etc and take 'em home. Fair enough really, cos I do own my own house now!

Anyway, I found my entire collection of 7" singles. They are:

The Boys in the old Brighton Blue
"Simon Says" by the 1910 Fruitgum Co (the first record I ever bought!)

And


John Kettley is a Weatherman. A prize goes to the first poster to remember who recorded this mighty contribution to pop.

 

[El Presidente]

" Are friends' electric" by Tubeway Army

 

[Gullet]

" Are friends' electric" by Tubeway Army

No way!!! What's embarrassing about that? It's a bloody great record. Oh well, everyone to their own.

Hate to contradict you but The Boys in The Old Brighton Blue is 12".

Is it bollocks. I've just gone and looked at it on my shelf. It is seven inches in diameter and no mistake.

I still think it is great but everyone hated Gary Numan at my school apart from me

You've only got 7", You've only got 7"!!!

You can't play with us big boys with 12"!

I picked mine up from my mum's yesterday and it is 12" of pure vinyl! Didn't know there was a 7" TBH.

Mmmm Mark McGammons meat

I always remember that song from watching Man City play at Oldham when it was in the charts, and the whole of the City end singing "John Kettley is a City fan"

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

What is on the 12" that isn't on the 7" then? I've got TBITOBB on the A side and The Goldstone Rap by the Mystery Boys on the B side.

 

[Gullet]

Best Years Of Our Lives by Modern Romance. A brilliant record to play at a party, but the band were always considered to be a bit wally.

John Kettley is a weatherman, a weatherman, a weatherman,
John Kettley is a weatherman,
And so is Michael Fish.
And so is Billy Giles.
And so is Ian McCaskill.

And so is Wincey Willis.
