Brilliant Swish. Memories are like lost keys. They were always there, but someone needs to shine a light in a dark corner to help you find them.
So many beauties there but “goosebumps………heart thumps” triggered a “song” reaction in me. Big hair; loud guitars and drama. But who??? Any hints.
I think JTH’s Karen Pini reference must have triggered something in your brain, whereas for me it didn’t get above the beltline.
Sandy Stone – Edna’s sunset home companion or Bandstand singer??
Now if we can just get Dave Warner to write some music to this I am sure Swish and the Knackerettes could rival Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire”.
Fantastic Swish. You’ve covered it brilliantly. Peter- Goosebumps is by Christie Allen. It was often on Countdown, and I reckon Molly liked it. I’m sure he said, “Do yourself a favour and get it.”
Classic
For a taster of the Barry Humphries/Sandy Stone original that I have plundered for this (the full version dirges on for over 20 minutes):

Great list. A few more off the top of my head. Apologies if I’ve doubled up.

2 Karen Pini references, only days apart. Her odds are shortening as the 2014 Almanac cover.
Love it. The 1970s also means:
Spectrum.
and…
“Well I remember when I was young, the world had just begun and I was happy” – Matt Taylor and Chain.
Humphries would be proud…. really enjoyed that tip of the hat. I even read it Sandy’s monotone voice
Billy Thorpe & the Aztecs.
Glen!
Thanks JB, what kept you?

When I was at uni I went out with a girl who drove a LEYLAND MARINA.
