Ruby Flipper - Dancing with the Captain

Here is a better-quality version of Sue & Lulu's performance with Paul Nicholas, previously posted here. Same charming nautical outfits, same lightweight song, same cute, literal hornpipe moves: better quality electrons. Excelsior!

Legs & Co. - Roadrunner Twice

Today's second Jonathan Richman routine: Legs & Co. dance to Roadrunner Twice on Top of the Pops.

Legs & Co. - Egyptian Reggae.

It's Jonathan Richman Day here at OFTD. First up, here's Legs & Co. dancing to Jonathan's loopy instrumental hit, Egyptian Reggae.

By a process of elimination, we can work out that it must be Sue and Lulu inside the Camel costume. But who's in the front, and who's got the back hump?

Legs & Co. - Maid in Heaven

On Top of the Pops, dancing to Maid in Heaven by Be Bop Deluxe. With an extra bit of Jimmy Savile and his own special brand of creepy pervness. I posted a fuzzier VHS-sourced version of this a while back. This one's cleaner and sharper.

Ruby Flipper - Disco Duck again

I posted a ropey VHS-sourced version of this awhile ago. Here it is again, in a much better version, from Einsfestival. Customes, dance and song are just as silly as ever.

Legs & Co. - Stars on 45

Legs & Co. dance to Starsound's awful Stars on 45. Judging by Lulu's frizzy perm, and Rosie's crimped hair, this is from the latter days of the girls' reign as Queens of TOTP.

Ilovelulu posted a clip of this a while back: this version is slightly better quality, and a little longer. Just a reminder: VLC media player can play .FLV files (and just about evry other video file format, too).
