It's interesting that references to "head" went uncut in 2000, but now on TV/radio it would. See also "Walk on the Wild Side", which now tends to get a radio edit. #TOTP

Looking forward to seeing this project landing the UK with a whoppingly good 24th place next year.

Idlewild must’ve had some friends in #totp if they can get on with a #32 single. Their top ten performance the next year was fully deserved though.
That recently imported sweet brand Bebeto better have a pretty great marketing team to make hay at what happened on BBC NI last night. #Haribo
