1991: "Absolutely unbelievable, I can't keep a straight face" says Tony Dortie in a very normal tone of voice after Vic Reeves and the Wonder Stuff. That may say more about him than them, given they don't really do a lot between them bar Reeves getting the words wrong in the second verse and searching for a camera in the back of a washing machine which he thought was somewhere there but wasn't. In the sort of fashions which prove there is such a thing as early 90s fashion to mock, Carter USM deprive the whole news department of monitors for the day. On a classier note a debuting Mariah Carey is placed in the sort of set that resembles the shape of her mind about a decade later.
1997: Yes, it's a repeat from the Christmas show, what of it? And it's Aqua, what of that? Well, quite a lot, I suppose. Their body language seems entirely at odds with the playfulness of the song.
2003: Pull a shape and look allurring must have been the initial choreography instruction to Girls Aloud. Nicola clearly isn't cut out for that sort of thing. And neither, at all, was Alex Parks, Fame Academy winner and young woman visibly hit right at the end by the weight of unfulfillable expectation. Understandably, nobody seems to know what she's been up to for a few years now.

Seems the "Barbie Girl" video has gone walkies, along with the uploader's account...
So it has - luckily someone else had it up so I've swapped links over. Such is the pitfall inherent in writing these weeks ahead of time - indeed I'm pretty sure there's now quite a few broken links especially early in the year, I know one semi-prolific uploader had their account taken down.
Yup. That's partly why I'm reluctant to upload too much more. I think I'm already on two strikes...
