GUEST SPOT # 35 - The Prodigy - 'Charly Says'

It's Saturday and it's Guest Spot day....If you would like to do a guest spot for us then please let us know. Charly says you really should!!

Steve and his shorts are back but this time he's taking us back to where it all began for him. Raving it up in his bedroom with the Prodigy in his day glo t-shirt and white gloves....not a far cry from wearing a high vis jacket and gloves on the ramp, and probably just as noisy!

Charly says always tell your mommy before you go off somewhere......

Charly says...meeowooww



The Prodigy - 'Charly Says' (1991)

Where it all began for me, 14-15 years old watching The chart show late one night in my bedroom and they played this video. Quite simply I was hooked and wanted to start dancing around but thought better of it as it was nearly midnight. The video was nothing like any other I had seen and from then on my life revolved around rugby and The Prodigy. Knowing there was a new single coming out I would be waiting for the doors to open Saturday morning at Woolworths, pick up the new 7" and a handful of pick'n mix in my pocket and then straight home and not only loving the A-side but being blown away by the B-side.

Who you calling a charly mate!?

GUEST SPOT # 25 - Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons - Lets Hang On

Every Saturday we feature a Guest Spot, don't be shy! Tell us about a musical memory you have!



Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons - 'Let's Hang On' (1965)

This weeks Guest Spot is brought to us from Steve "Pogo" Patterson. Even when it's -15 degrees and billowing snow out on the ramp, he's in shorts! What song keeps him warm on those nasty days at the airport...?
Lookin' sharp there fellas

We are always influenced by our parent's taste in music one way or another, and I am no exception.
Whenever I hear this song, I can only think of being driven to Staines Prep' School when I was about 8, in my dads' metallic green Ford Granada 3.0 Ghia. To be honest, any Frankie Valli song does it, but I always loved the intro to this song and I would always make my dad play it whenever I was in his car. There are some live clips on youtube but the sound quality is not brilliant. 


Best 'hang on', Frankie is gonna put his foot down
