ChartLife: Not My Idea of Fun, Fun, Fun - 25th February 1996 (Ep28)

Woke up singing this, the queasy run note into the chorus which is only just in tune is especially frustrating

Daniel O’Donnell! I do a bit of hospital radio and a few years back he was requested all the time. Less so now. I can’t hear him without thinking of Eoin McLove though (“I smell wee!”). Oh and I actually listened to the Franny Lee song a few weeks ago, so pleased to hear the original again.

The above list of people in a photo together from January 1994

Suede’s best lineup: Brett Anderson (vocals), Bernard Butler (guitar), Mat Osman (bass), Simon Gilbert (drums), Stephen Fry (euphonium), Ian McKellen (kazoo), Pam St Clement (vibes).

SHAN’T

Thank you for your company, as ever! For more heightened emotion about nineties chart music, please find us wherever you get your podcasts! #totp

Oh absolutely NOT watching this, dreadful even for a Boyzone song #totp

Can we still be part of music live?! #totp

"Hey, Happy Mondays. We should do a cover of The Boys Are Back In Town"
"Do we have to learn the tune?"
"Oh, absolutely not" #totp

I don't think the boys are totally in the room never mind back in town #TOTP

Are any of them ok?! #totp

Had scrubbed this from memory. Closing time chaos and not in the good way - who’s calling the cab? We need out NOW, it’s all about to go really wrong… #totp

The good thing about 1000 Clowns is that when they went on tour, they only needed three cars #totp

Oh man, novelty rap. Dressed like he wet himself at school and had to go home in the spare clothes from the box in the secretary’s office #totp

“Let me hear you say Yeah!” “SHAN’T” #totp

But I don’t WANNA say yeah! Also does this have a tune or did it fall out the car on the way there? #totp

This makes up for cutting SFA short, give her the whole episode you cowards #totp

elmo from sesame street is looking at the camera and smiling . ALT: elmo from sesame street is looking at the camera and smiling .

Frigging, before the watershed!! #totp

Skin, what a frontwoman. Incredible voice, knock out charisma #totp

Ooh and Skunk Anansie! Scott, you are shurely schpoiling us #totp

Mind you, what a world where Geri sings live and SFA don’t!! #totp

Shania Twain is an anagram of Hawaiian Satan. #totp

NORTHERN LITES! 13 out of 10, no notes, glad plans for this evening got cancelled now #totp

This is the spirit #totp

Honestly, Fair!

Geri singing live!! Did not know that was a thing… Why is she doing a big brassy number wearing a CARDIGAN SHRUG? Not hugely anti, just confused #thechartlifemotto #totp

Like it when the song title is so long theyhavetosquashallthewordsin #totp

Say that to Brad Pitt's crying face will yer Shania? #totp
