Re: Junior Choice

i cant remember this mate.
can u jog my memory with a clip.
sounds sort of familiar when u mention tony blackburn.

Listening to Pick of the Pops yesterday reminded me I used to listen to Junior Choice hosted by Tonly Blackburn in the early 80's on a Saturday and Sunday morning. Previously the show was hosted by Ed Stewpot Stewart, did anyone else listen to it and did you get any requests played?

Re: Junior Choice

I remember Toni Arthur from Play Away also hosting it for a while. I didn't send requests in. But I still like some of the novelty and bubblegum songs today like:

Co-Co
Nellie The Elephant (anyone remember The Toy Doll's version of it? Hilarious!)
Lily The Pink
Ying Tong Song
Long Haired Lover From Liverpool
Monster Mash

You don't anyone daring the write songs like that these days.

A few modern songs that kids ought to learn are:

Heathen Dan - "I Like"
"Dead Puppies"
The Vaughans - "Who F.arted?" (it was a hit in 1995)
Technohead - "I Wanna Be A Hippie"
Mr. Blobby - "Mr. Blobby"
Barnes & Barnes - "Fish Heads" (hilarious song, and the video clip is even funnier)
The Business - "Drinking And Driving Is So Much Fun"
