can see Evil giggling with glee as he shuffles about looking for the most obscure 80's act- so predictable

Little Evil · Post by **Little Evil** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 2:39 pm

Ok,
The theme song from Minder was callled....

(and don't be a pussy looking it up on the net, this is for real 80's hard people)

Who originaly performed it....

And who performed it on top of the pops with the original band near the end of the show (minder that is).

What was on the B-side, (it never became a hit)

Who was Terry's offsider...

And how did Terry get a new rad looking chick every episode when he was such an ugly cunt?

Almost forgot...
Terry's boss had a song too - what was it called?

(I'm looking at both records in front of me right now)

I think Evil is sorting through promotional photos of his little-known 80's big hair neo-Nazi metal band "Spandex Swastika" to really stump us.

He knows he's up against the pros and he's grasping at straws.

The Minder tune was one of the biggest tunes of the early 80's love. Just face it - you struck the fuck out.

The original version was by Gerard Kenny, and Was sung later on top of the pops by Dennis Waterman, who incidently was Terry on Minder

Little Evil · Post by **Little Evil** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 2:56 pm

The B-side was 'Nothing at All' performed by Denis Waterman.
Then I could be so good for you was re-recorded for the 'music only version, when the new bloke took terries place.

Terrie's offsider was Aurthur, who had his own retarded hit with...

'E's alright'

Mork ruled.

I wouldn't answer anyone in grade prep unless they addressed me as Mork.
My mum and Dad had to come and have a meeting with my teacher about it.

The only show like that that got funnier and funnier as it went on.

evil the only thing that upsets me about that time is that I couldn't do the special Mork finger sign, man I practiced and practiced and actually am trying it now but to no avail?

also liked Mork's son too.

My memory maybe failing me but was there a Happy Days episode with Mork in it or the other way around?

Can you enlighten me?

Gnat, speed racer is still my favourite cartoon, I actually got a model of his car, it's called speedhopper and you push a button and it hops literally.

Will photograph it tonite when I am home and post it...

Mork was originaly in one episode of Happpy Days
From Memory it was in one of the Fonz's or Ritchie's dream sequences.
It was so funny, but I can't remember the exact details.
Will have a think.

Anyway, that was how Robin Williams got his own show, and the rest was history.

mr lob · Post by **mr lob** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 3:21 pm

cheers evil!

tom hanks was also in happy days as a karate crazed fool who had trained his whole life to give it to the Fonz, cause when he was 3 the Fonz knocked him off a swing or something

man my head is just filled with what I thought was useless info until I happened on this thread.

showing my age man! was 11 when the 80's kicked in so you do the maths!

He wears glasses, and takes on the part of the nerd. He's sort of evil.

Nope. Spandau Ballet. (Almost right tho mate. They all did really look the same tho didn't they? The thing to remember is that Duran Duran had a much more vast use of headbands and sweat bands.)

Much bettter band in my opinion - Spandau.

Never rocked out to Simon Le'Bon and his band of coked out wankers that much.
Liked their later stuff like 'ordinary world' much better than I liked 'reflex' or 'hungry like the wolf.'

Tell you what - if you ever want a laugh, get some footage of Duran Duran live in the 80's. It's tragic, but a fucking scream!!
