Legs & Co. - Don't Walk Away

There are plenty of made-up YouTube Legs & Co routines: where someone had taken an original routine and subsituted a different piece of music. I've been a bit rude about these clips in past postings on this site, so imagine how mortified I was when a couple of regular viewers pointed out that the Beatles' Something clip I posted last week was one of these ersatz concoctions. Oh No!

To assuage my shame, here's the original version, with the original music: ELO's Don't Walk Away.

My observation last time, that the girls are wearing the same little metallic outfits that they used to emphasise what an old codger Fred Wedlock is, still stands.

Pan's People - Theme from The Persuaders

By request from Ryan, here's clip from back when the TOTP budget stretched to occasional location filming for Pan's People routines. Here they are in a Rolls, driving to the casino, smoking cigars and wearing fedoras, to John Barry's Theme from The Persuaders.

Legs & Co at Christmas

To keep the festive feeling alive, here's a clip I just received from Kacey, our latest contributor. Old Mr. Savile gets a little too excited by the girls' proximity.

Even if Peter Perfect hadn't given it away in the first second, you could guess from their outfits that this is from the same 1980 christmas episode where they danced to Lipps Inc.'s Funky Town. Thanks for this little gem, Kacey!

Legs & Co - No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)

There's a war raging over on our discussion board, between the Fans of Patti, and the Fans of Sue, over which of the two is the greatest. I, of course, must remain neutral on such matters. But here's a routine requested by Amy, which will no doubt fans the flames of antagonism between the two armies: for in the first half of this routine, performed to No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) by Barbara Streisand & Donna Summer, their two favourites dance alone, head-to-head, move for move.

Thanks to PattiforPM, who kindly donated this clip.

Legs & Co. - If I Said You had a Beautiful Body,
Would You Hold it Against Me?

Here's Legs & Co. dancimg with some giant teddy bears, to The Bellamy Brothers tribute to cheesy chat-up lines: If I Said You had a Beautiful Body, Would You Hold it Against Me? Thanks to Suefan for contributing this routine.

A classic performance from the sillier end of the spectrum.

Legs & Co. - One Nation Under a Groove

Compliments of the season folks. Here's a christmas present from PattiforPM to Suefan. That is, Suefan requested it, and PattiforPM provided it. Thanks to both of them, we all get to enjoy Legs & Co. dancing to One Nation Under a Groove by Funkadelic.

They're in outfits based on military fatigues, although whoever designed them seems to have forgotten about the trousers.

Legs & Co, - Something

A generous but anonymous donor has sent me this clip of Legs & Co, performing to The Beatles' Something. The girls are wearing the same shiny metallic little outfits that they wore to make Fred Wedlock look like an old, old man.

Flick's choreography is subtle: too minimal to really call it dancing, but that suits the song lyric fine: when George sings about "the way she moves", he's clearly talking about ordinary, mundane, day-to-day moving around, not about dancing.

Update: How embarrassing: I've been taken in. Ryam suspected it, PattiforPM confirmed it: this is a cobbled-together fake: someone has removed the music from the original routine (ELO's Don't Walk Away) and replaced it with the Beatles' song. I can usually spot these things, but not this time.

Legs & Co. - Too Much Heaven

Here's Legs & Co. dancing to the Bee Gees' Too Much Heaven. I can't say I like their outfits I'm afraid: proof that the awfulness of eighties fashion actually started in 1978. Clip kindly donated by lulupatti&sue - many thanks.

Look out for a tiny bit of Jimmy Savile at the end, and marvel at how he can manage to sound so creepy in only a few seconds, with a mere half a sentence.

Legs & Co. - Sandy

Legs & Co. - Lonely Boy

Here's a clip to show to anyone who makes the boring "over-literal choreography" complaint about Flick. The routine is definitely narrative, and yes, it deals with the subject matter of the song (Andrew Gold's Lonely Boy); namely sibling rivalry. But nobody's miming the lyrics at any point: instead, Flick has created a routine based around the subject, showing what great creative work she was capable when she got more than a few hours notice.

And Floyd gets a rare namecheck from creepy old Mr. Savile.

Thanks to PattiforPM who sent this clip.

Ruby Flipper - You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine

Filling a request from Carl, here's Ruby Flipper dancing to Lou Rawl's big hit You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine.

Floyd's in a glittery top hat & tails, Phillip's in a gaucho costume, Cherry's in a lovely fringed cocktail dress, and Lulu, Patti & Sue; well, they've got hardly any costumes at all, behind those big ostrich-feather fans. Oooh!

Legs & Co. - Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft

Here's Legs & Co. dancing to the Carpemters' slightly kooky Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft. The girls are all wearing different outfits here: I can't see any common thread, but that's not surprising when the song is so weird. Patti's in a gymslip, Lulu's wearing a saucy french maid outfit...

It's from TOTP2, so there's the usual annoying block of trivia text obscuring the screen for a large chunk of the performance. And even more annoyingly, it's discussing a different version of the song, by a different group. And it's blocking a particularly fine example of Patti's high-kicking too. Aargh.

...Sorry, lost track of things for a minute there. Where was i? Oh yes the outfits: a small french maid's uniform for Lulu, a gymslip (& hockey stick) for Patti, and a hula...

I must apologise: I do seem to keep getting sidetracked somehow. Had I got to the costumes? They're all different: Patti's in a tiny schoolgirl's uniform, and Lulu's French maid outfit is really quite, er...

Thanks to lulupatti&sue for the clip. The quality is not the best, but it's a great routine, and one I haven't seen before. Of course if anyone has a better quality version of the clip, please get in touch.

Legs & Co. - Rise

Captain peacock speaking. I'm still concerned about the prurient nature of many of the comments posted about these clips. I've been hoping for a general rise in the tone of things, so I'm delighted to see that Ryan has requested this beautiful clip. It's Legs & Co. doing some proper dancing, like what they must have been taught at dance class, to the music of Herb Alpert's Rise, which is as near as proper jazz as we're going to get in this place, what with the noisy primitive beat "music" that's all-pervading.

Legs & Co. getting flanned on Tiswas

Amy has made a special request to see Legs & Co. being tricked by nasty Chris Tarrant on Tiswas. Here he is, outrageously cheating as quizmaster in a rigged competition between the girls and Dennis Waterman.

For those of you too young to remember 1980, being flanned by the Phantom Flan Flinger on Tiswas was the hippest thing a celebrity could do, in those simple, far-off days.
