We've Got To Shift These Colour TVs

People who've seen me in the last few months have probably heard my 3 favourite telly moments. I have now found links to two of them online:

1. Miss Piggy and Billy Crystal re-enacting *that* scene from When Harry Met Sally. I started to think that maybe I'd dreamed this because it's just so fecking funny and could not work out why it wasn't on YouTube. Now it is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4O0ftwqZn4 forward to 3 minutes 40 seconds

2. Jarvis Cocker on Shooting Stars doing a 'pulling' question on Shooting Stars. Just take a look at it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXFfyTz1NEE


If I ever find number 3 online to share with you all I will die happy. I found it recently on one of my videos but the quality is appalling. Back in about 1991, Comic Relief decided to do a competition for kids to write a pop song about one of the issues they raise money for and the grand prize was you would get to record your song, perform it on Going Live and be on Smash Hits too. To publicise this, Going Live did a film about it asking 'pop stars' like Take That, East 17 and Betty Boo for advice about how they go about writing a song interspersed with clips from everyone's favourite comedians- Trevor and Simon. The bit where they are doing songs as The Singing Corner in the style of other people is pure genius. See if you can guess what the songs are from my depiction below:

"Erotic, erotic, la la la la la la la la. E-rot-ic, E-rot-ic run your fingers through my beard"
"My name is prince/ the one and only/ My name is prince/ I'm a little bit funky/sha la la la la la la la la"
"Rhythm is a dancer/come and swing your pants-ah/Sha la la la la la la la la"

As I said pure genius
