Yeah, every so often there's a wave of activity out of the blue on these vids. The end of 2016/early 2017 was the big one, but rest assured the Pink Windmill party never truly ends!
Dont worry, you aint alone! I can do the full dances to Cant Stop The Music and That's A Plenty, and im not a professional dancer. Working on Footloose right now!
This was less than a year before “Can’t stop the music” and yet Joe, Spencer and Anthony look so small, crazy how fast kids grow and to think that Anthony is now a grandpa 🤯
Most of the songs they did are really good fun. It's a pity that too many people don't go past the intro to Can't Stop the Music and assume it's all like that.
@@VideotapeFTW tbh i knew them from ashens for that but there its a split of love and hate which a group like this will always invoke. for me lots of cheesy fun and they are talented kids!
@@simplesimonhadapie As much as I like Ashens, you've got to be a really special type of miserable to (shall we say) 'underappreciate' the level of positivity, wholesomeness, and utter commitment to the cause that these Kids displayed! To each their own, of course.
0:35 GOD LEVEL CHOREOGRAPHY AND HEAVENLY HARMONY 1:58 MOM ITS HAPPENING AGAIN I think I get misplaced nostalgia from this. You know, when you have never seen something but you feel like you’ve seen it a thousand times
Well, I can't say for certain, but I heard that he became a professional dancer and then a choreographer - but that could be completely wrong. I'm not sure what Anthony did after Emu, but here he is in a Nolans video from 1982: ruclips.net/video/dPkLLrhbP1Q/видео.html And in a crisps advert from soon after: ruclips.net/video/Fr5qrhG63y4/видео.html
Is that Daryl in the fetching maroon/mustard sweatshirt and matching legwarmers? I didn't remember him ever appearing as early as that, or at the same time as Spencer and Joe!
No, I don't think it is - not sure what that lad's name is, but it could be Tim. I'm pretty sure Daryl's first appearance came in 1986 (though I'm willing to be corrected on that, too). I always saw Daryl as a sort of substitute for Spencer, for some reason.
VideotapeFTW Ah, that would make more sense - otherwise it would mean that Daryl barely aged in 3 years! I guess I thought of Daryl as a substitute for Spencer too, but couldn't really remember for sure.
I dont know who was in charge of set design but it's not OSHA approved. When the kids jump off of the counter, its bowing in the middle and about to snap. That would have made a great blooper if they all ended up inside the cabinet.
I have just submitted the subtitles/lyrics for this (along with the lyrics for another song or two), though I am not sure about 2 lines... They seemed to have changed a couple of the lyrics here and there both in Neil Sedaka's and Liquid Gold's songs. I tried emulating your style :P
Brilliant! Thanks ever so much - honestly can't thank you enough. :-) Before I set the Twilight Zone to public, could you head over to ruclips.net/video/chEageGeQFA/видео.html and have a look at the comment I've pinned, please? I'm trying to decide whether we should go with the correct lyrics or the lyrics they sing, and indeed figure out what exactly they _are_ singing...
What was the name of the other blonde girl in the pink & grey, very expressive eyes and a fab dancer does anyone know? She appeared in quite a lot of the early PWKs stuff but disappeared around 84 same as Emma Louise.
She _is_ mentioned by name at some point, but I can't remember for certain. I think it may be Natalie, and either way she was one of the very original Pink Windmill Kids.
I’m looking for my old friend Alex Brennan. I know she did some of the call to oz to twin up schools. If anyone knows her or can put me back in Touch I would be very grateful x
How did you know Alex, if you don't mind me asking? I can't promise anything, but search for "pwkfans" on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram - the people who run those accounts may (or may not) be able to help you out.

Haha - there were actually _loads_ of Pink Windmill Kids to begin with, but then they trimmed it down to only 10 when they started broadcasting live. (And nine of those chosen ones are in this dance - only Abbie's missing.)
No, it's the other way round: there were five pre-recorded series with loads of Pink Windmill Kids from 1982-84. Then they decided to be ambitious and make some live series halfway through 1984, and from then on only 10 PWKs were selected. (This video is from 1983, Can't Stop the Music is from 1984.)
Not to the best of my knowledge. He was in a couple of pop videos, though: ruclips.net/video/L6VZMOnzTEg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/IW0RcOibIBk/видео.html
rod would of been a great Doctor or the Master in Doctor when Pink Emu ended. But the Doctor Who and Pink Emu went of the air in 1989. The Doctor came back in 1996.

Emma is in the powder blue top and pink skirt. She`s dancing in the back behind Grotbags near the beginning and is in many other spots during this routine.

1:40 turn on the captions 😂
I remember watching this one with my father; he laughed when he saw Croc dancing with them towards the end.
I love it when Croc joins in. He's not a baddie - just a misguided goodie. :-)
Why is the "witch" crying??

Thank you!

Ah yes, my favorite S4 routine tied with Fortuosity! I love these otherworldly moves 🤩
Yeah, I think this is my favourite from the series, too.
Love how I'm in a lot of the scenes lol
We love you Emma-Louise! You’re one of my faves.
@@sonicgirlypop Aww thank you! That means a lot to me as I'm not as recognized much as the other PWK's..
Yea you’re so awesome Emma-Louise!!
You’re my favourite!
All hail The Pink Windmill!
I'm from the US, so I didn't grow up w/ this show; they do have an affinity for '70s disco, don't they?
True, but fun fact: they performed songs from every decade of the 20th century on the show. (Apart from the 90s, as the series ended in 1989.)
I hope to have this much energy someday
Even if I can’t do the splits yet 😂
To both of those comments: yeah, me too!
who's the girl in maroon and yellow lrg warmers, she's almost as good of a dancer as Anthony
I believe that's Emma-Louise - one of the very original Pink Windmill Kids.

I'm surprised that, in five years, no-one's picked me up on that edit. (Same with Climb On Board to a Dream...)
Always felt sorry for Croc.
