I remember when I first bought this record I couldn’t stop playing it and I still love listening to it many years later 🥳

[@mjotd8670]

oh my, the memories this brings back when I was a teenager, I'm now ...eerrr a lot older, but still feel like a youth, this is what my generation grew up on, Mud, Slade, showaddywaddy etc, Chopper bikes, Bazooka Joe bubble gum, free milk at school, Glo-Yos (yo-yo's that light up) , recording the Top 40 on Sunday night onto a cassette tape!...the list goes on..Great days!

[@bailybaily3618]

Me too still got 3 of there albums my fave crapes and drapes..

[@kevinclark2856]

good old days bud

[@martincaughlin584]

My memories are very similar...until I look at my old photos of myself taken at the time. Skinny 14 year old with long greasy hair and a buck tooth grin. Dont even remind me of the purple cords and tank top!

Giving up was the best thing they ever did,thank god for Punk!

@@b.critical7873 punk was for the poor little rich kids thank god it only lasted a few years unlike showaddywaddy still going after fifty years and selling out

[@b.critical7873]

@@andyfrary5492 You're obviously ignorant of such events as the Rebellion festival and the influence of bands such as Discharge and Crass who were an influence on such artists as Nirvana and Metallica amongst many others.Showaddywaddy were just an awful pseudo Ted pop band.

[@Chichesterfrotesque1001]

They shoulda looked at sha na na to see how to do it properly. Tepid.

They are still touring I believe ... but very few of the original members still around unfortunately.

[@PrincessNottingham]

God I love dave’s “hold on kid” then buddy nearly laughs. The old boys really knew how to work the stage.

[@Paul-11]

Yes, just something so simple like that is great to see between the boys. I always likes their attire 😊

[@josephinewood3861]

They are the only band that didn't stand in the same position on stage. They all moved around even the drums have been at the front of the stage.

[@PrincessNottingham]

Yes I loved the old band as they had a real stage presents about them. The new band dont in my opinion. They just stand at their mics.

[@DanyLove48]

Ah Buddy is just wonderful. So sad he is gone. Brilliant performer RIP Buddy

[@BackToTheBlues]

He was my favourite singer of the two.

[@evelleijoe1006]

RIP :(

[@spiritualparadise4887]

Fantastic entertainers these guys. I was 10 when this record first came out in 1973. It still sounds great today. I think a lot of the depressing bands and artists (glum rockers!) around today should study this performance very carefully.

[@David-h4z2s]

Two Drummers 🥁 🥁🎉 Fantastic ❤

[@PrincessNottingham]

God I love this video. Wish buddy was still with us. I love it when Dave nicks buddy’s mic and says “hold on kid” with a massive sexy grin. Buddy’s grin is super sexy too.

[@valsorrell6160]

Love it….from 1973 to date

Lyrics And you Kids Get on your feet now And get ready and it's rock and roll Showaddywaddy Standing on the corner in my new blue jeans Dreamin' 'bout the girl in my limousine Everybody's talking 'bout the world's greatest rock 'n roll band. News-boy on the corner says: Hold on kid What's the use of dreaming 'Bout a rich guy's greed? Get yourself a boppin' with the world's greatest rock 'n roll band. Hey rock and roll Bring it to town Let's stroll Hey rock and roll Let's go Let's go Let's go. Hey rock and roll... Rockin' to the band in a rocket-machine Susie hand-jive She's a rock and roll queen Johnny sings a love-song He sings it right from a-ha a-ha a-ha Whenever Mickey's dancing with the girl in blue Over to the band and a song for you Everybody's shouting to the world's greatest rock 'n roll band.
