You tell me. Presenting Pat and Mick, of whom I have never heard, performing their apparent non-hit I Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet. Note omnipresent ambiguous, yet powerful, sexuality, along with the presence of two Robert Palmer dancers, a great number of apparently gay boys with great asses and pleated pants, and perhaps the most heinous unironic mullet I’ve ever seen. As one of the commenters said, “Looks like an Afghan Hound trying to have sex with a Geography Teacher.”
The only real competition for this title that I can see is this classic. We are strong, dammit, and we have fabulous accessories!

That would be Robert PALMER dancers…
raincoaster EDIT: Good catch, quite right. Updated. I’m glad you gave me the head’s up: FFE would never have let me forget that one.
Hey, all those mullets look alike to me.
So what do you say: Is it this one, or Pat Benatar?
Oh my god Pat and Mick! Unfortunately I do remember this. Pat was a kids TV presenter in the UK and was famous for the mullet he sported. I haven’t played the video above but can hear it in my head already. Damn you raincoaster!
Pat Benatar? Awesome. Managed to “woo” my wife with that and Patrick Swayze’s She’s Like The Wind. :)
Actually, I have a weakness for that song too. I think all women do. And EVERYBODY loves Pat Benatar. Did you know she studied opera at Juilliard?
I had to stop watching at the one minute mark… too cringeworthy
I have a pair of those pants to this very day. Pleated and pegged. Because my ass didn’t look big enough already.
Pat Sharpe is still a DJ but, Samson-like, his popularity waned with the loss of his mane:

Mick Brown is/was also a DJ, but really only remembered as “that one with the normal hair”:

We Brits like to think of Pat as our answer to Michael Bolton
I think that may be true on more levels than we can know.
Actuall, Pat there looks like a cross between William H Macy and Saint Bob Geldof on a good day.
So they were called ‘The Dynamic Duo’ were they? Scratch the word “Ambiguous” from the above blog post. I think that settles that; well, that and the way they make eyes at each other.
and talking of haircuts, this video from Haircut 100 is a beauty. Tucking large jumpers into baggy trousers has never looked so good:
Still love Rick Astley ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sK3AqFYAWQ )
This was ‘our song’ – awwwww
We broke up.
No wonder. I’d dump anybody who made me listen to that.
Greetings! Stumbled upon your blog by chance.
Was Stock, Aitken & Waterman responsible for this?
No idea, but I’d bet that even THEY won’t step up and accept responsibility at this point. Only a LARGE amount of cocaine could have coaxed anyone, ever, into thinking this was a good idea.
I thought it was a good idea.
Cocaine – the champagne of drugs ;-))

What do these […] mean anyone??
What a week to give up amphetamines!
In that context, it means this is a pingback. Generally it means stuff has been left out. In this case it means the beginning of Juvenal’s post has been left out.
Giving up amphetamines is a good thing. You doubt? Come to my neighborhood and I’ll show you a few sixteen year olds who look sixty. We might even find a body.
