Very often on Tacky Music Mondays I feature some cheap-as-chips girly group or other, from Holland, Italy or Spain.
Lest we forget, we in the British Isles produced our own cheesy version in the 1980s, as a close-harmony singing group of Irish colleens (brought up in Blackpool) transformed themselves from "The Nolan Sisters" into the much more trendy Nolans and had a string of hits. I don't remember this one (thankfully), however...
Have a good week, dear reader.
Oh dear god, the choreography... and the mullets.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonder to behold... Jx
Delete"That poor woman - Mrs Nolan, I suppose - she must've been giving birth for years before she got any decent harmonies going." Victiria Wood.
ReplyDeleteI remember when my sister brought shame to the Flange escutcheon by ordering The Nolans Greatest hits, Status Quo was another I remember via one of those mail order music and book clubs, she was seduced by the introductory offer, she redeemed herself by giving them a false name and never paid them a penny.
Love the Victoria Wood quote!
DeleteYour family memory reminded me of the occasion our late, dearly-departed friend Alistair was looking at the extensive CD collection here at Dolores Delargo Towers and exclaimed: "The Best Of Dorothy Squires?! The Essential Anita Harris?!

There is no snob like a cultural snob
DeleteAs my sister said in reply to my post about Alistair, "He was a curmudgeonly old bugger, but he was our curmudgeonly old bugger." Jx
DeleteSummertime Special!! With a very young looking Les Dennis hosting???
ReplyDeleteThe Nolans. Oh my gosh. Good legs though.

Frighteningly young-looking! He was quite the "pin-up" then. Not now... Jx
DeleteSomeone should tell MJ about the crocs. Not me...I've been banned!
ReplyDeleteSurprised she hasn't been here already - she can seek out the "C-word" a mile away... Jx
DeleteOh dear !
ReplyDeleteThat was dreadful.
Hardly I'm In The Mood For Dancing, but then, what is? Jx
