Blockbuster - Sweet
Wailing sirens, guitar riff then ah ahhhhhhh, ah ahhhhhh. Chinnichap at it’s finest and Sweet’s only number one, January 1973.
Their TOTP appearances used to elicit great grandad comments. “Must be a puff with hair that long.” “Is that man wearing make up?” “Can’t he afford a shot?” (Eastwoodese).
I see myself dancing to this in a brown and orange floral crimpelene maxi dress with cream coloured sleeves, (made by my mum), at a Beauvale juniors 4th year Christmas Party, DJ’d by Mr Watchorn! Happy days indeed! It was all down hill from there.
Great special effects in the video and a brilliantly choreographed dance just before the 2 minute mark.
