Oh Diane UK Video

[DazedPenguin]

It was from an awful (but at the same time inexplicably popular) Saturday evening show on BBC1 called "The Late, Late Breakfast Show". I still shudder when I remember their performance. I was looking forward to it, but to say I was dismayed when they played "Oh Diane"- possibly the worse song they've ever recorded- was an understatement. The satellite link was terrible, the band didn't look interested and of course the song was just embarassing.

It didn't end there though. The presenter (Noel Edmonds, for it was he, sadly) then tried to use the same satellite link to do an interview. Trying Lindsey and Christine with no response, the presenter made one final attempt just as Lindsey's now legendary comment "I can't hear sh*t" was broadcast to the nation. Not any of their finest hours.

And since that dreadful show could make any song a hit, to this day I still don't know why they chose "Oh Diane" when re-releasing "Hold Me" or "Gypsy" would have been so much better.
