Why am I going back to this day in 2005 for my Music Monday? Because I’m celebrating the 12th anniversary of #ThePhilFactor! I was going to feature the two songs that were number 1 on this date in the U.S. and in the U.K.. Like, I said, I was going to feature both, but the U.S. no.1 that week was Candy Shop by 50 cent. The video, which you can watch by clicking the link, was… ahem… not exactly family friendly, so I chose to just leave the link for you deviants. Then I lucked into this next gem that was the U.K. number 1 for seven weeks, including April 3, 2005. Make no mistake, this is awful and embarrassing, but I’ll give it some context: It’s a song that was originally popular in the U.K. in 1971. The video, made for Comic Relief, features a U.K. comedian, Peter Kay, lip syncing the original audio sung by Tony Christie. The video is funny because of it’s ridiculous badness.
Have a great Monday! ~Phil
A great way to celebrate! Congrats again 🙂
Oh my goodness. It involves Mr blobby! I was trying to explain Mr blobby to some Japanese colleagues…he doesn’t translate well!!
Maybe you could just show him the video on your phone today!
That is what I did. They were still pretty (understandably) confused!!
I’m still confused too!
The whole of Noel Edmond’s House party was confusing to be honest. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101155/ if you don’t know it!) I have a feeling no-one outside the UK would have seen it.
But when I was a child EVERYONE used to watch it. If you want to see something really scary, Mr Blobby had his own song that got to number 1 at Christmas one year!!
LOL! I’m off to work now but I’ll look those both up tonight
Phil. Phil. I’ve never taken LSD, but I feel like I have after watching that. Also, happy anniversary.
Thank you Christine. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Even though the Bretz speak English, their culture is very different than ours.
This is awesome! I remember when it came out and I worked in a bank. You can imagine us just doing the dance all the way around the office, right?
I can definitely see you doing that!
Maybe you should make a new video of you doing it!
Haha maybe I did make that video 10 years ago lol
I’d love to see that one, especially if you were able to get Mr. blobby
Haha – yeah but we didn’t call her that to her face lol. Happy bloggiversary too 🙂
Ah stop. I always hated that pink spotty fecker 😱😱😱
