Showaddywaddy - Hey Rock 'n' Roll

[@rajrajani6269]

Leicester group? Brilliant . 70’s , the best decade for me. Showaddywaddy, my favourite group.

[@Excel510]

still listening to this day, great entertainers, will always love them, I am 61 now.

[@graemewatson1106]

First time I’ve heard this song in about 29 years I last heard it in a game show called Gladiators they used it before every task. Woke up this morning with it playing in my head great song

[@ollieboy266]

This was entertainment. Who could not be foot tapping to a group who put the fun in music. Those really were the days

[@ulrichlemmer5388]

"Hey Rock ´n` Roll" Das ist meine Jugend und ein Evergreen...😎 Showaddywaddy for ever!

[@edwinstarr5591]

THE GREATEST ROCK N ROLL BAND EVER,,,,,R I P, BUDDY AND AL

[@davidmcclinton895]

Great track, love the two drummers! Remember hearing this working on Morecambe Fairground. What a time to be young!

[@fedupbin]

Always loved two drummers, Adam Ant band, Glitter Band

[@bill1036]

Great decade to live through music wise.We had so much choice.This lot always looked like they were having fun above all else.Brilliant to watch again.

[@dencoh2]

I saw Showaddywaddy at the Glasgow Apollo in 1976 - my first concert ever. The Apollo was bouncing !! The pre concert entertainment was a gang of Teddy Boys taking on the Apollo's bouncers - they lost ...

[@patmckeane6588]

Your not wrong

[@raypirie8780]

Remember my first showaddywaddy gig in Aberdeen 1981, it was great, then the year after 1982 they played Aberdeen again, an me an my pal both in Ted drapes got asked up onto the stage to dance with the guys as they'd seen us dancin like them in front of the stage, no bad for 2 16yr old Ted's, still a Ted today.

[@moogdome2562]

Once a Ted always a Ted. It's a way of life.

[@stevewiles7132]

My record collection from the 70's is still with me, and still rocking.

[@stylishgirlnaomi]

British music rocks!❤️ 🤟😎👨‍🎤👩‍🎤🎸🎶

[@jerrythegaffer]

Saw SWW live in 1977 been a big fan ever since.48 years of R&R!!! 1973 to 2021. Gotta ❤ em. Still listening in 2022 Buddy Rocks RIP. Malc (the duke) king of the jive. Great drummer too.

[@Steveachester]

I went to see these live years ago, this music still sounds great now.

[@bojack40]

This song was a stalwart on the fairgrounds that used to come around the north of England for decades....especially on the Waltzers!

[@Seeker7100]

One of the greatest bands of the 1970's and live they were awesome!!!

[@lindawatts5102]

Ill second that

[@alexanderheath6662]

Got most of their records! Seen them live -- Brilliant guys.

[@milanvodenka3113]

Very good band of 70's. Fortunately, I made one gig in Birmingham. Thank you for the spot.

[@adrianwalker3641]

Saw these live at Scarborough about 4 years ago, absolutely brilliant night

[@reggaelatinus6705]

[@NigelJones-eu7go]

Hey rock.n roll buddy & Al R.I.P.😢

[@irisfandre865]

Das war auch so ein toller Titel. Schon damals fuhr ich auf diesen Titel ab. 😊

[@paulblatch01]

Great decade for music......happy times! 😀

[@aopl69]

How true. So much change and inventiveness. Glamrock, Punk, Electronic, Disco and new romantics all in one decade.

[@moogdome2562]

When I first saw them on the New Faces talent show. I was mesmerised, hooked line and sinker. I bought all their albums. I saw them live, at Sheffield City Hall UK, possibly the best concert ever. I wanted to be one. I remember wearing lime green socks for school and Brothel Creeper shoes. I wanted a Teddy boy suit so badly, they sold them in a Sunday paper £6, but I couldn't afford one. I bought a concert programme. and took it to my local barber hairdresser. I showed him the picture, ''I want my hair like him in the picture, it was the same as the Bowie haircut. After he finished, I still had a short back and sides. I looked like an escaped convict from Alcatraz. I can still remember the smell of the album cover, and I'd stir at it. for ages. They wrote some beautiful songs, ''Smiling Eyes'', and"'Sing on Louise. Brilliant. So talented, not me, them. Thanx for sharing, brought back many memories. Now I can afford a Lime green Teddy boy jacket, sadly the paper doesn't exist, Like my Showaddywaddy haircut. R IP Buddy.

[@roostercogburn2270]

I'm 62 year old german... They were and still are great! I remember the times in Great Britain when good people met.....

[@mjowsey]

I'm a 55 year old gentleman who remembers it as a living hell. Terrible cars, horrible music, and people used to treat others like shit. With brexit we are bringing back the bad ol' days.

[@yeticus1]

@@mjowsey could you explain how Brexit is bringing back the bad old days please?

[@mjowsey]

@@yeticus1 Back in 2010 I was deluded enough to think that xenophobia in the UK was pretty much finished. But, the attitudes displayed in the '60s '70s and '80s haven't gone far away. What happened in 2016 and the aftermath is more of a symptom than a disease. I don't know if that's close to answering you.

[@yeticus1]

@@mjowsey so because millions of people decided they didn’t want this country ruled by the EU but actually by people that were in some small way accountable to them you describe them as xenophobes? My wife is Bulgarian. I’m not a Xenophobe.

[@mjowsey]

@@yeticus1 that is lovely I am very happy for you!

HEY ROCK ´N ˇROLL debutová pieseň skupiny SHOWADDYWADDY, ktorá bola v UK rebríčku 14 týždňov od 18. mája 1974 a skončila na 2.m.za piesňou Sugar Baby Love skupiny The Rubettes. Hoci sa skupina orientovala na cover verzie piesni z 50. a 60. rokov ako Heartbeat od Buddy Hollyho alebo Three Steps To Heaven Eddie Cochrena,alebo When od Kalin Twins, táto skladba bola ich vlastnou tvorbou. Debutový album SHOWADDYWADDY bol v rebríčku 19 týždňov od 9. decembra 1974 a obsadil 9.m.ako prvý z piatich TOP 10 albumov.

Did a week's work with them in Baileys Club in Derby. Much of their live set was on a pre recorded backing track and they had a roadie operating it

[@Teacher-lj6in]

I was at school with Rick deas brother, very humble lad….only found out by chance he was the the young brother of the biggest band in the Country at that time in the 70s, …we were playing cricket in the family back garden that had full cricket nets !

[@BernardSamson-hf6fc]

Remember them on New Faces - English talent show (like X Factor but with TALENT) they were great loved them ever since.

[@maxadamescu431]

It was 1973, I remember that Dave Bartram had his hair tied in a ponytail, which was unusual then to say the least.

[@wapntake]

Sparks of so many happy memories

[@triciairvine5653]

[@jeffnettleton3858]

For some reason, I now have a craving for rainbow sherbet. Amazing sound they get, without having their guitars plugged in. Sounds just like it was mixed in a recording studio! 8)

Claim to fame, my late mum made their shoes, rock on Northamptonshire!

[@Tranmere59]

Sorry to go on but I do remember them on New Faeces (Clement Freud one of the judges) where they pulled out all the stops. White drummer standing on top of bass drum from the front doing backwards drumming. Hang on, was this bloke just an alky in sunglasses? If anyone can tell me where I could find that I'd be grateful. (After that I graduated into a metal-person but our band always did a Sabbath-sorta version of Hey RocknRoll. Imagine...)

With Elvis doing ballads in his jump suit by the 70s this was the first group to introduce rock n roll to my generation who were just a bit too young for the Beatles and the 60s bands let alone original rock n roll from the 50s.
