One hit wonder, Ann Lee, walks around the beach huts and streets of Whitstable, Kent, in the video for "Two Times". You can spot at her the junction of Harbour Street at 0:28

"Pretend", the 1981 single by Alvin Stardust features a location known to most, if not all on here. The park on East Row, Kensall Town which was used in The Sweeney episode "Hard Men", makes an appearance around 44 seconds and features heavily in the video. I'm sure that other locations used will be familiar to Mr Hunt so please feel free to comment

Just popped up on Youtube was Mirror In The Bathroom by The Beat, or The English Beat thanks to the septics. Anyway, aside from a large bathroom and the interior view of a shop between 40 and 45 seconds in we get a location which happens to be a C&A store complete with the mirrored view of the opposite side of the road: The Beat - Mirror In The Bathroom The location of this is Corporation Street in Birmingham >>> Google <<<The mirrored buildings can easily be recognised but the C&A store canopy has now been removed with a residual mark remaining on the cream coloured wall alongside the Optical Express shop sign.

The Commodores’ hotel of choice when staying in London is the Hilton, London Kensington You can see them exiting the hotel at 0:47, via the revolving door, which is still there, albeit now modernised and made a bit safer: goo.gl/maps/KuXgtvHh2V3dsAa79After jumping into their limos, they head off in the direction of Lukey Sparrow’s roundabout 1:02: goo.gl/maps/kuK6851Ha9Yif7bg7

"On A Ragga Tip" by SL2.

Here's one from the archives, not the best output from the group but I bought 10cc's "Deceptive Bends" album when I was a kid back in 1977 and it was a good track from the album. I'd always found "Good Morning Judge" to be humorous in that it was very American themed with the stars and stripes flags in the courtroom, coppers in Yankee style uniform, the references to Alcatraz and San Quentin, and the car being stolen was a Ford Mustang - yet the roads and cars in the background were/are very British. So here we have "Good Morning Judge" by 10cc: They'd like to have you think it was filmed in the "Good ol' Yoo Ess of Ay" but the video locations are in and around the National Car Parks building in Brewer Street and Lexington Street in London's Soho.

Saint Etienne released the single "I Was Born on Christmas Day"on 6 December 1993. The record features guest vocals from The Charlatans singer Tim Burgess, and peaked at number 37 on the UK Singles Chart. In the video we see a late running Tim Burgess running down Chelsea Manor Street on his way to the Registry Office @0:45 maps.app.goo.gl/ao8Lq4iW53WB3uTj7The telephone box survived until 2015 The building on the right was demolished around 2018 @0:50 we see the wedding cake, Saint Etienne band members Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs (I think) waiting for Tim and Sarah Cracknell outside Chelsea Old Town Hall Registry Office maps.app.goo.gl/FGRtzdfqPyZViH7q7Good to see they still paint the front door blue

Not my choice of music and certainly not on my playlist but this Take That track appeared on the box earlier:
Take That - I Found Heaven
Most noticeable and easily recogniseable for me was that at 1:32 in there is a view across the beach at Sandown on the Isle Of Wight and a 1:41 there is a view across Sandown Bay to Shanklin and Luccombe.
Also bringing back a memory is that they are seen driving around in a yellow 'Batmobile' which I remember regularly seeing around the island when I worked there back in the 90s.
Apparently the song was in the charts in August 1992 which wasn't long after I'd started working there (April '92) but would have been when Annie and I would have taken our three-year old twins onto the different beaches around the island.
Can't say I'm upset at missing the filming though.
Sam.
