Original audio available as an mp3 from: http://soundcloud.com/the-freelance-hairdresser - also visit http://www.soundhog.co.uk for the rest of the things I waste my life doing. Anyway:

Rescued from a dying Philips N1700 video cassette - here is the legendary Top Of The Pops performance of 'Machadaynu' from 1979.

A long forgotten performance, due to the fact that it was broadcast the day after the 3-month long ITV technicians strike finally ended, and almost the entire viewing nation tuned into the return of Coronation Street and 3-2-1, instead of BBC1 that evening.

As if this wasn't enough, the song dropped out of the charts the very next week, amid allegations of hyping, letting Gary Numan claim the No.1 spot, and the credit for the birth of futurist music. However, this long lost clip tells the true story.

This is a truly fantastic video. I was obsessed with it a few years ago and happened to watch look around you and was reminded of this- it was so exciting to see again, thanks, you utter maniac!

It's actually musicians from the BBC orchestra of the 1970s, but it's based on a cover by a band called "CCS". Paste v=WNxPY0h7JLU onto the end of a YT link to find it.

I'm impressed and rather aroused by the girl's dancing at 1.44. Anyone have her number?
