  1. "Hot dog" - Shakin' Stevens

    "Get me two hot dogs ready to go," orders the man in the white suit. Hold the ketchup, easy on the onion, no mustard.

    Love to see the string of circles picture-in-picture stuff, the height of television technology and more fun than anything else in years.

  2. "Teardrops" - Shakin' Stevens

    Baron Shakesford gyrates in a sea of dry ice, while his sparking suit is lit by pink spotlights.

    There's a country twang to the song, perhaps a sniff of "Hey Paula" from the 1960s, but Shakey buries it beneath his usual syrup. A shame: there's a great song we're not hearing.

  6. One of the #Shaky songs recorded with obviously synthetic drums and brass section.

    But still a great #Rockabilly number.

  7. "This old house" - Shakin' Stevens

    Ah, phew. It's not the Big Bates Is Watching clip I expected, but the Shakey Leads A Blockbusters Hand Jive.

  8. Peruvian dance from Incantation, "Cacharpaya (andes pumpsa desi)" is enlivened by Zoo gyrating. Kid Jensen spoils the effect when he says they're from exotic Chiswick.

    Up on the gantry is Shakin' Stevens, "Blue Christmas" begins with Incantation leaving the stage, and continues with plenty of BBC snow... or is it the snowmen after they got into a fight with Mr. Maisonette?

    "Give Me Your Heart Tonight" (1982)

    PS—Shaky is the Second British Elvis. #CliffRichard is the First British Elvis.

  11. Does Shakin' Stevens have four under-dressed men behind him? No. Phew.

    Is this song a Bop? Yes.

    Was it the last really good song he released? Not quite, but it's more miss than hit after this.

    Were we expecting that splits jump? No way!

  12. Last time we saw Shakin Stevens, he had some oiled-up men wearing very little. This week, he has Legs & Co in much more demure green dresses. More of this, please.

  13. Some new tracks have been published this week.

    First a new one of the Swedish 1-Man Rock&Roll Hit Machine: #TeddieEricsson.

    Again, if you like #ShakinStevens style #Rockabilly and a great #Telecaster guitar, this is for you.

  14. #DaveEdmunds is one of the #Rocknroll and #Rockabilly godfathers. The #StrayCats and the #PoleCats are only a few acts he has produced in the early #80s.

    But some of Dave's own songs undoubtly have the typical #ELO sound, thus I am not sure whether #JeffLynne was more in charge of producing than Dave himself. Sure, both are Welsh, just like #ShakinStevens.

  15. And also the Swedish 1-man-#Rockabilly-combo of #TeddieEricsson , the lead singer and guitarist of #TheFastback, has a released a new track with fantastic #Telecaster guitar riffs.

    Everybody who likes the sound of #ShakinStevens and The Sunsets may be potentially interested.
