A lovely song. A great variety of tunes made the UK charts in the 1970s, which made them fun. Thank you
This is from a short-lived TV show called "2Gs and the Pop People" which was a vehicle for choreographer Dougie Squires' TV dance troupe The Second Generation (His earlier troupe, The Young Generation, were exclusive to the BBC but 2Gs was made for ITV (commercial television)). Six editions were made and featured guests such as Slade, Lulu, Scott Walker, The Move and ELO. The dancers would feature heavily with the guests; on one of Slade's songs, each member of the band has a girl dressed in a similar outfit dancing next to them! When this was made, Gilbert was transitioning from his earlier "street urchin" look (seen here) to something less quirky. On the other two songs he performed in this episode (Ooh Wakka Doo Wakka Day and January Git), he's wearing his new look sweater with a big "G" on the front. He's still growing his hair out though and was soon sporting a longer look.
Happy to see a gilbert o sullivan reaction, he was massive in the 70s.
I love Gilbert O Sullivan 😊, Greetings from Perú 🇵🇪
Easily one of the finest British songwriters of his generation. 'Nothing Rhymed' is a poignant masterpiece, 'Claire' is beautiful, 'Alone Again,' tugs at your heart, and 'Ooh Wakka Doo Wakka Day' just makes you feel glad to be alive. A maverick, a genius and a national treasure. ☺
Pardon the gap in my knowledge, but I don't know if Gilbert O'Sullivan would/could be classed as British seeing as he was born two years before Ireland became a republic. I don't know if Irish people born prior to 1948 can still be classed as British. Being an Irish-Australian, I had always seen him as an Irish artist and not a British artist. However, I am not clear whether he could stand as British national treasure, or not.
@@I_was_a_Countdown_Kid-75-83 - Good point! And I had actually commented similarly earlier today but then deleted my comment as I wasn't too sure either. I'd personally regard him as being Irish, though.
Actually guys. Irelands been an independent country since 1921 as the Irish free state (now the republic of Ireland), so Gilbert's actually irish.
@@nigelmurphy6761 thank you for clarifying that.
Yes an Irish national treasure
Luv Gilbert O'Sullivan extremely underrated
It was pretty good. We were surprised.
@@hanierfamily - I too remember 'Alone Again, Naturally'! 😀 It was on a VA cassette tape an Aunt had given me when I was 9, along with Cat Stevens' 'My Lady D'Arbanville', Melanie's version of 'Ruby Tuesday' and 'Darling' by Miller's Frankie, among others 😊
My Ma loved Gilbert 🇮🇪☘️ sleep well Ma ❤️
Gilbert is a first class artist you check out his work, and there is a lot of it.
Gilbert was around constantly in the early 70s and then had quite a comeback fairly recently. If you listen to all of his lyrics, he's quite a comedian. He has a similar way of looking at the world as one , Billy Connolly.
Class always rises to the top and you can't keep it down. He's still popular now.
Hola saludos desde Colombia ❤️
Going to register rather than a proper church wedding is what it is about
So, eloping. How scandalous! LOL!
HE WAS GREAT ANOTHER IRISH SONG, ONE YOU WILL LIKE IS BY ANOTHER IRISH SINGER CALLED JOE DOLAN AND YOUR SUCH A GOOD LOOKING WOMAN, GREAT SINGALONG 😊😊😊
A very clever songwriter, always with a line that can make you laugh or cry - aside from this one and 'Alone Again Naturally' which you know, I'd always recommend 'Nothing Rhymed', and 'Clair'...and also one that was less of a hit which I love called 'We Will' which managed to be funny and touch your heart too!!
They don't make them like this anymore............thank goodness😂😂
Actually it's s fun tune.
Gilbert's ''Claire'' and ''Get Down'' were two of my favourite songs when I was a little girl. I recommend that you, Cynthia, listen to Alone Again Naturally. You might know it and not realise it. GOS's music played in my home during the early 70's. That soon changed when Hayley and I took over the record player, and filled the house with Skyhooks (''Smut''), Supernaut (''I Like It Both Ways'', ''Lick My Lolly''), Elton Motello (''Jet Boy Jet Girl''), Boney M, Bee Gees, Adam And The Ants, Edith Bliss...
I am from a Catholic family. My mother always scolded me when I used words like ''hell''. However, they thought that we might as well lap up the filth that the pop market in Australia was willing to feed us little Vegemites.
I'm happy to hear my username called out. However, I didn't make this request. I was instructing somebody in the comments on how to make a request, seeing as that person was describing the video that he/she wanted you to see, and not giving title/name/channel name (which has proven to be a success method). You still didn't watch the right video, but who cares.. That's the other guy's problem.
@LiveItUp - I prefer *this* video clip version and am happy with C&C having chosen it instead 😁 And it's 'Clair', without the 'e' 😉 A song dedicated to his daughter 😊
@@mightyV444 Ha, ha - I agree. I thought the cloth-capped look was cute. Personally, if I asked for a particular video to be viewed for whatever reason, I would be disappointed if that video didn't come to pass. I've been watching other ''reaction'' channels, and am seeing ways that people are making requests. Some people are just too casual with their requests: ''Please react to a live clip of The Cure doing Love Cats - it's somewhere on youtube - just look for it. Robert Smith is wearing a cowboy hat, and it's real funny. Check out that one! Just look for it on youtube'', or ''I suggest you react to Queen performing Radio Ga Ga live in the mid 80's. Freddie Mercury does this cool dance. It's so cool. Just scroll through thousands of videos of that description until you find the one with Freddie doing this cool dance. I just want you to see his cool dance for my own enjoyment more than yours''.
What kind of request is that?
I noticed people posting links or using this song title/artist name/channel name method.
I'm a little dubious about sending the Haniers an email with recommendations.
You need to check out "Nothing Rhymed" you can thank me later.... oh yes!
Aww, that takes me back... Take away the often cheesy videos, the songs themselves were actually well-crafted - you might want to try his "Nothing Rhymed" to get the idea, it's a bit of a masterpiece.
I just had a comparison video idea. Would you like to compare a 1950's Italian pop song to a 1980's Australian version of the same song?
There was a band I really liked back in the 80's called The Globos. They had a couple of hits in Australia, and were big on the live Cabaret scene.
Sadly, The Globos lead vocalist, Wendy De Waal, passed away last year. Her musical partner, Mark Trevorrow, would have a popular comedy stage act in Australia called Bob Downe.
I think you should make a VS video for the following:
Mina - Tintarella di Lina (1959) Vs. Globos - Tintarella di Luna (1982).
Should come as no surprise that Hayley and I were in the audience to see this crazy performance go off in the Countdown studio. It was a lot of fun.
Sources are below:
Mina - Tintarella di luna (1959) Dario Mister due note
GLOBOS Tintarella Di Luna daveinprogress3
I would also like to suggest a comparison video of Split Enz vs. Jo Kennedy.
Split Enz released a single in 1979 titled ''She's Got Body, She's Got Soul''. The song was a flop. A few years later, singer and actress, Jo Kennedy, would record the song for a movie she starred in called ''Starstruck''. Hayley and I loved ''Starstruck'' at the time. It was an Australian New Wave rock/pop musical. Jo Kennedy's version became a hit in Australia.
The Split Enz clip was taken from Countdown in 1979. Although we (Hayley and I) had thought it was Hayley at the front of the stage clapping, Mum confirmed over the Easter break that it was me that can be seen clapping at the front of the stage. Halyely is not in site! Please let the entire Split Enz Countdown clip playout - including the powersaving intro and Tim Finn introducing the show after the band perform the song. There's a bit of a funny moment where I try to grab Tim Finn's hand, and he backs away with a ''excuse me, dear!''. All the lights were turned off in the studio, and we stood in the dark until we were instructed to run to the stage. A smoke machine was there to blind us for a second. It's a fun watch.
The Jo Kennedy clip is taken from the movie ''Starstruck''.

LOL! You'd suggested the 'Tintarella di Luna' one already before, funny woman! 😄
@@mightyV444 Oh my God, I forget what I request on here, and that's why I want to email them. But it says Business Enquiries on their page, and requesting songs isn't a business thing. I don't want them to get annoyed with me if they have that email for important things.
@@liveitup67 - Yeh nah, I wouldn't use that e-mail for song-requesting either, and I'd used it myself only for checking on a couple of general issues with their channel. I'm sure C&C have been doing their best with collecting their viewers' requests! Maybe just sit back, relax and expect your own ones to be chosen now! 😉👍 I also did hear your name in today's Sparks video! 😊
@@mightyV444 I guess I made the request! The song is in my wheelhouse, and I liked it back in the day. Wish everybody else liked it! 😞
@@liveitup67 - Nawww... No need to be sad, Gillian 😌 The most important thing is that *you* like it! 😀👍 And if some others like it, too: Bonus! 😊👍 Maybe also don't take this whole reaction channel thing too seriously; Us viewers are not competing with each other around getting our requests in and C&C hopefully liking ours! But of course, if they do: Bonus! 😄👍 😉
Nah, I didn't suggest that song - I was just involved in that Gil O'Sullivan discussion last week; Completely different thing! 😆
I didn't suggest this song either. But I am glad to be included. GOS's music is part of my make-up. He's Irish, so naturally he was a welcomed guest in our household back in the early 70's. I just hope this mistaken request doens't hold all my other requests back.
@@liveitup67 - You suggesting to Findo Gask how to 'properly' put in a request must've looked to C&C like you were voting for it yourself - especially after I then also mentioned to him, "And now you even have a second person voting for your suggestion! 😁👍" 😂
@@mightyV444 It's funny how these things work. I only caught on to this request method after seeing OnceWasRStrathfield posting his own requests. Findo Gask was describing the video he wanted the Haniers to view. My parents love Irish music. They really loved people like Gilbert O'Sullivan, Clannad, Johnny Logan and The Nolans.
My mum even bought The Nolans' album ''Making Waves''.
I suggest...
The Nolans - Gotta Pull Myself Together (1980) - stereo Sanremo and more
Oops.
@@hanierfamily The Motels - Total Control - Remastered Audio Lapsus
Please react to the Lapsus upload. Hayley and I were in the audience of this Countdown clip.
We (Countdown kids/audience) complained to Countdown that The Motels didn't perform ''Total Control'' on the show the previous week. This is them honoring our needs by performing the song that we worked very hard to make into a hit.
Irish singer/songwriter came in wayyÿy over the heads of the Muricans. But to be fair, you muricans are cute. The lack of irony makes you even cyooooter. Later
We're from Canada.
@@hanierfamily yay 😊
