Watched it on Saturday.

Did 1981 happen on a different planet?

First, Bucks Fizz doing "The Land Of Make Believe" - an anti-Thatcher tirade and none of them realised it, or did they? Cheryl Baker dressed up as Peter Pan, Jay Aston as Tim Burton's Corpse Bride by the look of things...bizarre and creepy.

Then Linx and "Intuition" - David Grant in perm, hornrims and bowtie, like Chic down Streatham Caesar's, gavotting about in full New Pop/Britfunk crossover semi-sanity.

Fantastic, of course, those were the days, cf. with drab Kasabian and Norah nowadays, etc.

Kasabian were pretty damn good in their 'unplugged' style on Russell Brand's show over the weekend.

I know that's as wrong a sentence as you'll ever find, but hey.

Was "Land of Make Beleive" one of the ones that Pete Sinfield wrote lyrics for?

Indeed it was.

I just checked Sinfield's website, and there it was, yes.

Somebody should do a cover of it in the style of '69 Crimson. Wouldn't that be awesome?

'Land Of Make Believe' on TOTP is one of my earliest memories.

There must be a bosh/eurodance/appyardkore version.

Possibly not quite as awesome as a '69 Crimson-style interpretation of his next number one - "Think Twice" by Celine Dion (xpost).

I remember it being on TOTP's too.
