Have to get yourself a SuperYob Guitar.

I quite like the song actually, but it is a shameless rip off of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky" and I'm surprised Shelley wasn't sued over it - he would be today I suspect.
What was also pretty shameless was the way in which Jewry then aped the look/style of the real "Ziggy Stardust" which as every schoolboy knows was supposed to be the 60's rocker Vince Taylor.
So a chancer with limited ability gets famous on the back of other genuinely talented people. Thank goodness that can't happen today.
I never knew that Bernard/Shane/Alvin wasn't actually the singer on that single.
So it's a sort of Boney M/Milli Vanilli situation. Weird.
I never knew it wasn't him on the single. It's a bit odd that Shelley gave it away but happily released the godawful "Love me love my dog" under his own name.
Rock and roll, eh?
But, you have also resurrected a painful memory there which until now I had completely forgotten about. I remember being with my mates in the pub one day and instead of putting "Radar Love" on the jukebox, I must have pressed the wrong key or something and got "Love me Love my Dog". I was still being ribbed about that when I was in my 50's. And I didn't even have a dog.
(Wasn't he married to Liza Goddard?)
They all dressed up etc and did all such songs
I bet with the amount of tribute bands around today, that such bands could do a decent 'cabaret' style act, with a better form of credibility - Put a Spotify style playlist together, some lights + a decent PA and you can provide a 'party/wedding' the whole evenings entertainment if required - Such provide what they want and not what you want
@Neill mentioned Sweet - Those guys could actually play - many of their B -sides were good songs - I was brought up on Slade, Mud, Sweet and T-Rex so part of my 'youth'
