The 'BIGDANCELIST'site is a hilarious website of silly songs! Look for the 'Animated Dancing Pages' in the middle and simply choose a dance....you just GOTTA check out these 3, "I wanna moo", "Battle of the Divas" and "James Brown Dance". Silly, but great fun! (and they're all ok for the kids too!) Remember to turn your volume up.
Ruth
"Do the mouse with me" is a silly song from 1965 by madcap USA entertainer Soupy Sales and a link actually taken from the 'BIGDANCELIST' site above, but I could'nt resist the fab pounding backing track this has, and it would probably have gone down a storm in the mad Wigan era! Also hear it in full on www.youtube.com That sax sure is something though and would have been great as an instrumental...(or was there one?)
Melanie
Veronica says if you like early girly and Phil Spector type groups, then 'SPECTROPOP EXPRESS' is a fascinating insight to the 60s girl groups plus lots of other male/female artists and gives PLENTY of info on lots of interesting singers of the past (Inc: quite a few Northern Soul artists) and includes some great pics too.

Bobby Hebb's official website gives you lots of info on the "Love, Love, Love" man with loads of pics of all his labels he's recorded on. Nice one!
Check out female singer DUFFY video singing 'MERCY'. This is probably the closest thing to blue-eyed soul as you'll get.

Eat your heart out Dusty...!!

If you like a laugh, then let Karen take you on a tour of Bankok Bob's website of funny pics of signs he's collected from Thailand & Bangkok. I howled at some of these crazy signs (some juicy one's too!) you just won't believe some of their 'broken English' wording!
