Sweet and Scary



The pink fairy-dust has settled after a most spectacular Pride weekend! We spent yesterday here at Dolores Delargo Towers resting our tired limbs, and thankfully neither of us is working today.

Nevertheless, this is once again a Tacky Music Monday, and in recognition of that fact here is a remarkably odd video to cheer up those of us who are starting the slog back to work for another week of unbridled joy - it's the lovely Clodagh Rodgers (being stalked by some rather scary mime artistes) with Sweet Sweet Boy:


Miss Rodgers was 65 years old earlier this year, which is a bit of a jolt to the system for those of us who clearly remember her Eurovision appearance with Jack in the Box...

  1. I just watched this last week -- never having heard of Miss Rodgers before -- and here she is again!

    1. Scary, indeed... I am, however, very surprised that you had never encountered Miss Rodgers (and her famous hotpants) before! I know Eurovision isn't huge in the US, but... Jx

  2. Sandie Shaw = Puppet On A String, UK Eurovision entry, Clodagh sang Jack In The Box for eurovision but is most probably better known for Come Back and Shape Me.

    1. Aha! You spotted my deliberate mistake. (Writing a blog before I've had enough coffee, more like...)

      Thanks for that - amended now.

      I am glad to make the acquaintance of a fellow Clodagh fan!
