"Wired for Sound" by Cliff Richard.

I then went to see him in concert at The Brighton Centre and loudly professed my love for the great man.

Can't believe I'm telling you this...

'Two Little Boys Had Two Little Toys' by Rolf Harris !! at age 6



I was 6 years old!

That’s a double whammy! A nightmare song when he was a national treasure and then made worse by the conviction!

Didn't need to buy singles. Was supplied them by a family member in the business. Boxloads of them. You name it, I listened to it.
First LP.....The Move
First live act.....10cc.

Hard to answer as before I bought singles, I had them bought for me at Christmas, birthdays and other times. Whilst my first single was Raunchy, a favourite of John Lennon therefore cool, I suppose the first uncool single would have been My Boomerang wont Come Back by Charlie Drake.

I'm not ashamed of a single song in my 100,000+ collection. Music snobbery is embarrassing IMO.
The first single I bought was when I was 10, was by Letitia Dean and Paul Medford: Something Outta Nothing.

And for good measure, I saw the Spice Girls in concert. Twice. And they were superb. So there!

Was that the remix of You Were Made For Me? :wink:


I think we need to let the younger posters see just how uncool this single was (I loved it when it came out, but I was very young in my defence) :lolol:

Pleased to say that even at 5 or 6 years old I recognised Freddie Garrity for what he was. That constant idiot smile and stupid effeminate dance.....gold plated thundercnt if ever I saw one.

I would add to the list of deeply offensive career thieves from the 60s, Peter Noone, Freddy Parrot-faced Davies, and Mike and Bernie Winters, all of whom pretended to be singers at one pont or other in their tedious talent-free lives. I own none of their works.

:O:clap::lolol::rock:

That isn't an uncool single! The Damned and Motorhead both covered it.

Personally was never a singles fan. The only one I ever bought was the 1978 Re-issue of Silver Machine...

Not sure if Motorhead covered it, but The Damned B side version defiantly has Lemmy on bass.
