What a terrific trip down Memory Lane this has been, thank you Sam. Whilst I am of the elder generation I do recall this tune from the early 80's yet can't relate to the strange dance moves, certainly nothing like Danny or I ever tried with the ladies. The stunts on the bikes have always been a favourite of mine though and this picture reminds me of performing wheelies along mother and father's drive to our Wentworth pile all those years ago: They difference was that in those days we didn't have purpose built bikes like those young chaps have. Believe me, getting an old roadster with 26" wheels to wheelie is an achievement in itself. I refer to them as young chaps but I would guess that they'd be approaching 50 years old now, oh dear how ageing these nostalgia trips can be! Thank you again Sam, what a tremendous series of location spots. Lord B.

Really enjoyed watching that video (It's one that passed me by on the MTV channel) - but fondly remember the tune, and to this day how i remember the vowels :-)
I used to walk past the Horseshoe pub quite a lot so know exactly where these locations are, top investigation Sam can't wait for the lockdown to end and to be able to have a walk about there again.
How cool that the A lettering of the record studio is still visible too!
Brilliant stuff, thanks for sharing!

Walk ? Lets get down there on Boris bikes. I'll bring my Unigate crate and a bit of ply for a ramp. Any squad members want to volunteer to lay down to be jumped over

Didn't some over exuberant Sweeney fan try that near Earls Court once...
Rode it like Lenny in Victims!

Rode it like Lenny in Victims! Erm yes you are correct. I believe one fan was recreating the gardener watering the bowling green as seen in Trojan Bus....but that's another story.

It's all good stuff!

Nice work Sam. Remember the song but don't think I've ever seen the video until now.
