    Scientists are reporting that large swathes of Europe experience the exact same fever dream on Saturday evening

    Burnley always reminds of this



    The band were from Sunderland but I had it on a compilation that definitely had a Burnley crest on it

    And whilst we are on songs featuring people from the tele



    But you have to be a certain age to have any idea who most of these people are

    Which leads me neatly onto this - not my sort of music at all, but it still resonates with me for some reason (I guess it age related!)

    Frank Skinner played this on his radio show a couple of Saturdays ago.



    So impressed were Mrs Band I, that we contacted the band via facebook and told them so. They're Norwegian and had no idea it had been played, but knew full well who Frank Skinner was and are lovely people to boot. They've never played in the UK but hopefully that can change....

    This hits Brian's Damned/Cramps/Psychedelic/Punk sweet spot and is very good too...

    Ah, the so-called "toytown rave" fad (where tracks were
    effectively built around samples of 1970s UK kids PBS/TV stuff) .

    Some placed it on the shoulders of the Prodigy
    (the Mixmag "Did Charly kill rave?" cover article etc) ,
    so only fair to give the following as an offering :

    Were there many of these 'toytown rave' songs? I only come across the Trumpton one when someone sent me a link to a modern day parody and the song was in the suggestions

    It's this one for me...



    ...but, then again, I always did love a good public information film.

    Set Charly as the U-Roy of the 'genre' .
    So after that, you get :

    Shaft - ROOBARB AND CUSTARD
    Smart Es - SESAME'S TREET
    Urban Hype - A TRIP TO TRUMPTON

    All of these got in the UK top 40 charts at the time,
    hence the Mixmag article (the "purity" snobbery in music
    when an "underground" genre floods into the mainstream) .

    There is also a kindred track based on the at the time
    "I'll have an E, please" joke on the Blockbusters quiz show.

    While we're on a history of rave, one of the most
    unlikeliest yet significant influences ever ...

    Doing some chronology, it appears this one pre-dates
    the spate of toytown rave by close to a year.
    It also got in the top 40.

    I know this track very well as I have the original white vinyl 7" still, bought back in 1979 although it was the B side, the A side being this anthem!

    I remember that advert well, was it the 90s? Also I'm sure Maxell did others, can't remember what the other songs were! What did we do before Google? One quick Google later and what do I find but this little gem although sadly I'm a decade out, 80's apparently!
