A tribute to Pans People!

Pan's People were a British TV dance troupe, who used to appear on Top of the Pops.

In an era before pop videos, they danced to songs whose original artists were not available to perform them live. They were not the first dance troupe to appear regularly on TOTP - they were preceded by The Go-Jo's in the programme's early days, before Pan's People replaced them in May 1968.  Their last appearance was in April 1976, dancing to Four Seasons 'Silver Star'.

They were always very popular with male viewers of the show. I can't think why! Actually, I can! My favourite member of the group was Cherry Gillespie. She is the one wearing lilac in the first video and pink in the second.

Rare Alien sightings caught on video!

And who said I don't get intellectual on this blog!

Holy Friday! It's another Breakfast Show!!!!

The Fab Kate Bush!

"Hounds of Love" is the title track of the Hounds of Love album. The single was released on 24 February 1986, and reached number 18 in the UK Singles Chart. The song is about being afraid to fall in love; in the song this feeling is compared to being chased by a pack of hounds.

The words "it's in the trees, it's coming!" heard at the beginning of the track are sampled from the British 1957 horror film Night of the Demon and are spoken by an actor from the film, Maurice Denham.

Blast From Your Past: Lovefool by The Cardigans

Lovefool was written by Peter Svensson and Nina Persson for The Cardigans' third studio album First Band on the Moon, released as a single on 14 September 1996, in the United Kingdom and internationally on 5 October 1996. The song was featured in the film Romeo and Juliet.

The song reached Number 2 in the UK singles chart.
