Thanks SOOOO Much Pat....Well, Now...it all makes sense!!! LOL! They certainly do look like they are having a good time...And ALL places here in the good old USA...!
They were having a lot of fun too!
ReplyDeleteZ: I think the fact that it was thrown together at the last minute - for Live Aid - gives it an edge.
ReplyDeleteThey sure are having a good time---BUT, I don't understand one word of what they are saying....OY!
ReplyDeleteThis always makes me laugh too they are having a great time but this my #2 favorite.
ReplyDeleteMartha and the Vandellas will always be #1

Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteI knew I'd seen Mick Jagger wearing a nice green shirt while singing with David Bowie!
ReplyDeleteDidn't know it was his birthday, but hope he's having a lovely one.
Yes, it has a wonderful immediacy. I'm sitting here grinning.
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a good ol' camp-it-up!
ReplyDeleteLittle known fact #1; I once won 100 quid (2nd prize) for singing this very song at a works 'do' many years ago!
Little know fact #2; My kid brother, Eddie, is the spitting image of Mr. Bowie! :¬)

ReplyDeleteI'm sure I remember seeing a few parodies of this video, although to be honest, it's a bit difficult to make it more amusing than it is :)
ReplyDeleteKim: I checked one of the parodies and you're right - it's just an imitation done by two girls.
ReplyDeletejust proves to me how much more tasty David is to me than Mick!! Love him! Go David Go!!
ReplyDelete(oh and I love the word verification for me 'mater'!!
Nothing like a good bit of fun for a good cause. Neat video.
ReplyDeleteRosneath: they are both outrageous but David is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteGranny Annie: them's my sentiments eggsackly:)
