Lindy Layton (FULL INTERVIEW) on 'Story of Top of the Pops 1990'

[@johnd2248]

I still remember the first time I heard this tune when it first came out in 1990 at a club in downtown Toronto. Haven't stopped listening to it since.

[@batesady]

I had a bit of a crush on Lindy Layton back when I was 18 and I have one all over again now at 51! 😅

[@ZS-eu4vq]

What a stunner Lindy is. Love to here more interviews with Lindy. :)

[@anaitali8256]

Still fresh today!

[@robertweaver8535]

Thank you for being an inspiration back in 1991. The music then was very different to what it is now, but from a small fishing village near Glasgow it was new, fresh, amazing, and exciting.

[@zeebo8965]

This is fantastic. Thanks for posting! 👏👊👍😊🎼🎸🎶🗣🎤

One of the few records I bought back then. I thought that Lindy was so nice and the tune so good. An awesome mix. I still think back fondly of the song to this day, without the need of a record player, playing it back in my head. Lol. It's such a catchy tune. Totally awesome! Thank you!! 🙂👍

Me too, I bought the album on vinyl.

Cover. The bassline is from The Clash

[@freedomrules7638]

@@photogramistic I was not aware of that, thanks. The Clash have been influential in the British music scene in particular

Tune! I’m going to buy it again.

Yeah, awaesome, I bought this album on vinyl back in the day.

LOVED LOVED LOVED her version of Silly Games

[@FFM0594]

Wow, I never knew she was only 17 at the time. That's brilliant!

[@GaryCrossey]

You notice that people always have nice things to say about Sinead O'Connor

[@adrianbunyard6015]

She is gorgeous.

[@christown2827]

Beck pinched that drum sound for 'Loser' a few years later.

[@chello70]

Wow….She’s 51 years old here, but looks 29 😂

[@laurisaarinen1126]

Everyone knows Fatboy Slim but Lindy made one of the dopest big beat records with Hardknox! The best thing she ever did imo.

[@StaurosPapadakis]

now i want a cheesburger

[@turvey12]

Its not even her song its a cover version?

[@jurgenmagnus4041]

Love this song, but love The Clash's Guns of Brixton even more :-D

[@FFM0594]

They're both on my rotation. One is upbeat, the other not so, but both great tracks.

[@admiralbenbow5083]

God I hated all this sh-t. The countless great tunes wasted on the altar of hip hop or whatever you like was desecration. Mix after mix after mix till all you had was porridge. And someone made some money. Layton even fuc-ed up her own songs so at least there was some justice there I suppose. I bought the EPs of some of these when they first came out, so before anyone had had the chance to fu-k them up, and they are still a joy to behold. If you listen very very carefully you can just about hear talented people playing musical instruments and singing. Remarkable really. Never was there a more wantonly destructive time in British music.

[@laurisaarinen1126]

The worst take i have heard in quite a while 😂

[@mcchoirboy]

Fatboy slim?

[@jpswerve182]

yep. he was in the housemartins back in '86. He had at least 4 different aliases before he started the fatboy slim project.

This is just a COVER!

[@MinekEzQM]

More than "just". It follows The KLF's manual, uses (uncleared) samples from all the places, amalgamates them into something that sounds familiar still sounds "new"(ish), so it sticks in peoples' heads and becomes a hit single.

[@turvey12]

Exactly!

[@turvey12]

​@MinekEzQM what you on about its a soul funk track from the sos band produced by the great Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis
