Rocket From The Crypt - On A Rope.

[@MarkCarterMBPG]

I was 10 when this came out and I distinctly remember my mum shouting at me and my brother because we were jumping round the living room shouting 'ON A ROPE ON A ROPE GOT ME HANGING ME ON A ROPE'. Good times.

[@millerhxc]

I was also about 10 when this came out and it was the coolest song I'd ever heard.

[@garethhoyle351]

Rockabilly

[@blackdawg7778]

Remember this like it was yesterday

[@GarethFlatlands]

Same here, back when you actually saw some decent music on TV every so often. I think I still have the single on CD somewhere.

[@cdcaterham]

Absolute Classic I love this!!

[@gardenclaw82]

Sat watching this as a youngster with my parents. This song happens. *mind is blown* now i'm all grown up I still drive around listening to rocket from the crypt. What a f*cking brilliant band.

[@freddybeer]

I LOVE this song!

[@johnnyscifi]

Love this band!!!

0:00 "Hi my name is Dennis Pennis" Legend.

Whatever happened to Dennis Pennis? He was funny

[@drakocarrion]

@@mjh5437 He was Thoros of Myr in Game of Thrones

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

​@@mjh5437Paul Kaye has done dozens of things over the years. Played a Rabbi overseeing Nice Grandma's wedding in Friday Night Dinner & even been the forensic pathologist in Vera... I liked him in a series called Perfect World as Bob Slay. Another actor in that series Derren Litten, found success writing the Benidorm sitcom...

[@RobJD]

that was incredible. it's all the drummer

[@chrislawrence1214]

got me hanging on a rope

[@BornIntoTheGrave]

RFTC. F**k Yeah!!

[@kentuckychromedesign]

Not even live instrumentation and this performance still rules.

[@mattleach5575]

who was the backup singer/dancer during this period of RFTC? can't remember his name....

[@JamieLLL731]

Matt Leach Dirty, the dancer, as in Dirty Dancing. I think he was a roady as well.

[@skeif]

Done! ;)

[@hayleyliam]

A very rare live performance for the Top of the Pops

[@TheMusicalElitist]

No, this is mimed and the vocals are live. Moreover, there have been many live performances on TOTP. Stop trying to sound clever.

[@drakocarrion]

Literally every performance by a band appearing on TOTP in the mid to late 90s HAD to be live. Stop talking such utter bollocks.

[@CaptainSamstein]

Thores of Myr!

[@jamesdurnford739]

A great song for Sadam Hussein

[@aceholepictures]

He has no power...

[@davidr1620]

What is it with British TV and their obsession with insisting bands play to prerecorded music?

[@TheMusicalElitist]

They did it in America too. Be quiet.

[@davidr1620]

@@TheMusicalElitist Yeah, in the 60s. Don't take it so personally, man.

[@chrisM33]

Loved these guys, BUT he is not a very good singer live sadly. Always felt if they had, had a better singer they could have exploded because they had great tunes such as this.

[@davsimo3916]

hers not the best singer but fuck singers, Mariah carey is a good singer and shes one of the worst things to happen to music,speedo is absolutely the best frontman of any band of that era up to the present day. speedo forever

[@chadwickwright2833]

Oh fuck off! It was built this way. Rock n roll is supposed to sound like this, you moron!!
