Legs & Co. – Do You Feel Like We Do?

TOTP 18th November 1976: Legs & Co. dance to Do You Feel Like We Do? by Peter Frampton.

From the old blog, Monday, 4 February 2013:

Another great lost routine found again, thanks to panspeople.com: Legs & Co. dancing to Peter Frampton’s Do You Feel Like We Do? from Top of the Pops, Thursday 18th November 1976.

Not a full performance, admittedly, but a good chunk of a routine we’d otherwise never see at all: so thanks to Flight14 over on panspeople.com, and of course the original YouTube poster.

Legs & Co – No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)

TOTP November 15 1979: Legs & Co dance to No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) by Barbara Streisand & Donna Summer

Thanks to ASmK for the YouTube post.

From the old blog, Monday, 27 December 2010:

There’s a war raging over on our discussion board, between the Fans of Patti, and the Fans of Sue, over which of the two is the greatest. I, of course, must remain neutral on such matters. But here’s a routine requested by Amy, which will no doubt fan the flames of antagonism between the two armies: for in the first half of this routine, performed to No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) by Barbara Streisand & Donna Summer, their two favourites dance alone, head-to-head, move for move.

Thanks to PattiforPM, who kindly donated this clip.

Womano-a-Womano it IS really difficult for the non-biassed to choose is it not? Lulu and Gill look great in the ensuing red melee too.

There is simply no choosing between Sue and Patti in this.

Legs & Co – Rock’N’Me

TOTP 4th November 1976: Legs & Co dance to the Steve Miller Band’s Rock’N’Me.

From the old blog: Friday, 1 October 2010

Early Legs & Co dancing to the Steve Miller Band’s Rock’N’Me. So early that they haven’t even officially been named yet: at the start of this clip. Noel E talks about the naming competition.

Meanwhile, the new BBC technician’s apprentice, distracted by the skimpyness of the girls’ outfits, has obviously dropped far too much dry ice into his bucket of water, causing everyone to be engulfed in billowing clouds of carbon dioxide.

Legs & Co. – Part-Time Love

TOTP 2nd November 1978: Legs & Co. dance to Elton John’s Part-Time Love.

From the old blog, Saturday, 2 November 2013:

I’ve posted this routine before: we should have being treated to a nice sharp BBC4 digital version of the performance right around now, since the ongoing Top of the Pops repeats have reached November 1978. But since the Daily Mail won’t countenance any appearance from disgraced presenters, we’ll have to make do with my old grainy VHS-taped UK Gold version.

Legs & Co. on Tiswas

Tiswas, 1 November 1980: Legs & Co. take part in the Flan Flinger Challenge.

Wearing the outfits from their TOTP It’s Still Rock & Roll To Me routine, Legs & Co. sporting allow themselves to be cheated and humiliated on ITV’s anarchic alternative to the BBC’s Saturday morning “Swap Shop”.

For those of you too young to remember 1980, being flanned by the Phantom Flan Flinger on Tiswas was the hippest thing a celebrity could do, in those simple, far-off days.

I’ve no idea if our heroines appeared elsewhere in this episode, perhaps performing. If anyone out there has the full episode, can they help out here?

Thaks to Andybee for the YouTube post.

Legs & Co. – Fashion

TOTP 30 October 1980: Legs & Co. dance to Fashion by David Bowie.

From the old blog, Friday, 22 October 2010:

PattiforPM’s generous donations keep coming: here’s Legs & Co. dancing to David Bowie’s Fashion, from that strange early eighties period when Top of the Pops’ producers felt the need to dub party noises on top of the music. Thanks again to PattiforPM.

Legs & Co. – Theme from “Jaws”

TOTP 28 October 1976: Legs & Co. dance to Lalo Schifrin’s Theme from “Jaws”.

Thanks to suefan for the YouTube post.

From the old blog, Monday, 31 October 2011:

More signs of my developing senility: I could have sworn I’d posted this clip long long ago. But when PattiforPM sent me a copy (pointing out that Ryan had requested it over on the discussion board) I searched the blog, and found nothing.

So here are Legs & Co (well not L&C yet: the clip starts with Tony Blankbrain giving out the postal address for the their naming competition) in wetsuits, dancing to Lalo Schifrin’s funked-up take on John Williams’ Jaws theme.

What a great clip this one is though, with the Headgirl finishing it off in great style.

In the close-up YMG has used I’m not sure if Sue is afraid of the shark or has just seen the inaugural performance of that little known punk band the “Drooping Whatsits”.

Good early routine for L&C. Tempting to swim along in my Speedos and save these frightened beauties but then they’d be even more afraid! I could introduce SueFan’s Punk band though.
