B-O-P G-I-R-L!

Posted in Australia, Music, The 80s by Daniel85 on March 13th, 2007

More random 80s Aussie crap on YouTube.

Check out this clip from Countdown in 1983, featuring Ross “Eagle Rock” Wilson’s one-hit wonder wife:

Oh, I probably should have warned you to avert your eyes for the first few seconds. Sorry about that.

Did you catch Molly Meldrum doing what he does best (acting like a total tool)? Gotta love Molly.

I like how the song has nothing to do with aerobics, but that’s the theme they went with for the dancers. Olivia Newton-John must have cancelled at the last minute, so they were stuck with an aerobic dance troupe.

And you get a few seconds of a K-Mart ad The Swingers at the end. Bonus!

    The parachute pants material Stubbies are a good look, Gitoku. I’m bringing ‘em back for Summer ‘07!

    We’ll do a fashion show at a Westfield, with The Lovin’ Spoonful- Summer In The City playing while a bunch of moustached ex-cricketers parade down the catwalk.

    “Hot town… summer in the city!”

    I can imagine what happened backstage after the performance ‘That was my ONE BIG chance of promoting this album, Molly! And you ruined it! This is bullshit!’

    Hey Daniel. You really need to write some more articles for RetroJunk…The quality of the stuff on their lately is rubbish! An 11 year old wrote an article last week about the glory days of 2003…Aughhh.

    Haha, really? I stopped reading the articles when people started writing about The Powerpuff Girls and Power Rangers Turbo and stuff like that. That site seriously needs some editorial control if it’s going to be anything but a laughing stock.

    I don’t know if I can be bothered writing any more. Maybe I’ll do some moreof those comic advertisement articles, they don’t take much effort on my part.

    Hahah, that song sucks balls big time.
    My retarded friend glenn (who i feel sorry for but have gotten sick of) played that and said it was a cool song, lol.
    Count down always fucked up with there sets, like when Aussie crawl played beautiful people, they had a beach scene with beach balls course they thought the lyrics were “Beau-tiful beachball”.
    And yes molly is a complete gay tool (not that theres anything wrong with that, or is there?)
