This episode, Pop-Crazed Youngsters, is mental. Come with us as we set the Time Sofa all the way into the very heart of the Eighventies, to a Bizarro-world where people actually thought \u2013 yes, with their actual brains \u2013 that Mike Read was sort of cool. Yes, it\u2019s the Chart Music debut of Mr Blue Tulip himself, which may be touched upon at some point in this episode, we can\u2019t remember. Musicwise, it\u2019s all over the shop, but always in a gloriously entertaining manner. Vaguely Punkish bands lumber about on their last legs, a giant hairy Belgian testicle in a muumuu has to jump up to reach his congas, Mike Oldfield\u2019s sister and her mates break out of a Victorian asylum and pretend to be Martha and the Vandellas, Nazareth still think it\u2019s 1973, Billy Joel has a cup of piss balanced precariously on his mixing desk, and a Birmingham taxi driver has a dark secret to reveal. And Debbie Harry looks down upon us all with her frosty hauteur as Legs & Co have to share four costumes between them. Meanwhile, at a party in New York, Sid Vicious is deciding to have another helping of trifle laced with heroin. End Of An Era. Al Needham joins Taylor Parkes and Simon Price around the industrial dispute brazier of early \u201979, veering off to discuss such important matters as wringing every last drop of juice out of your fledgling record collection, asking the Iranian kids at school if they were in the Shah\u2019s or the Ayatollah\u2019s gang, your Dad seeing the Sex Pistols kicking off about a lack of cabbage at a motorway service station, and a disturbing early internet craze called \u2018Top Of The Pops Club\u2019. And all the swearing you\u2019ll need to see you through the month. ","author_name":"Chart Music: the TOTP Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/www.chart-music.co.uk","html":"
