Him Over There

@snathe

As mentioned on #offthechart some weeks ago - went for a walk on The Wirral earlier and stopped on the way back at the phone box immortalised in the OMD song "Red Frame White Light". Not quite #pointingatvenues but hope it will suffice! #sixthreetwothreedoubleohthree pic.twitter.com/waVgmjaSjn

Him Over There

@snathe

She does, you know. This is the effect #OffTheChart has on people - singing along with the jingles in supermarkets and sounding klaxons. Worth every penny of the Patreon payment, too... twitter.com/_littlegreyboa…

"Working My Way Back To You/Forgive Me Girl" was the only UK #1 for the Spinners, or the Detroit Spinners as they were known here to distinguish them from Liverpudlian folk group The Spinners, who had four hit albums in the '70s. #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/irnLJuft5z

Up 19 places to #2 this week in 1980, "Call Me" went on to become the second of three #1 hits that year for Blondie. The track was produced and co-written by Giorgio Moroder and used in the movie "American Gigolo". #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/USAff3ceTC

"Dance Yourself Dizzy" was the first and biggest of three top 40 hits for Liquid Gold in 1980. They almost represented the UK in Eurovision in 1981 but just lost out to Bucks Fizz in the selection show. #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/OB75ZOaeI7
