Sorry to get all bureaucratic but posting a non entry on Wiki for a Band hardly qualifies as a fact...in 'fact' if there was a Mod watching , I'd complain!

Link fixed I posted it to further clarify the fact given in the post above it, just for the fun of it.

As for mods, I think they all gave up on thread weeks ago :-)

That would work a lot better if said in a southern drawl, like pro~~~~~paaaaaayyyyne


Rodney Terence Argent is an English rock musician and a founding member of the 1960s English rock group the Zombies and the 1970s band Argent. Their most famous song being "God Gave Rock & Roll To You" of course which was played live on The Old Grey Whistle Test where the bassist wore dungarees and moved the bass in a circular motion in time with Rod Argent on order to appear as cheesy as possible.

(Sotto Voce) That fact almost sounds true...so what the hell is it doing in this thread? If you post true facts the thread will lose all credibility.

Growing up in Paris as teenagers, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel" de Homem-Christo liked to play with Motorcycle Helmets and Superglue and were regularly in and out of A&E getting them removed from their heads.
After a particularly busy day in A&E over Christmas 2001, the 2 erstwhile musicians tuned up with helmets firmly glued to their heads only to be told "F*** Off you daft punks"! The rest, as they say, is history.

Annual snore-fest "Jool sHoots an Annie" always goes out live, every NYE. Rumours it is recorded in October are totally bogus.

The source of these rumours is that a number of bands are booked into the TV studio for a date in October, in the presence of a public audience. Many of these bands - and indeed the members of the audience - are then reportedly seen partying elsewhere at the time of transmission. However, the October date is a rehearsal, and all of the acts and punters are recalled on NYE to recreate their exact moves. This can be quite expensive, as the BBC has to cover the cost of lookalikes to be present at alternative NYE festivities.

A mix up at an agency with a partially deaf secretary led to the wrong letters being sent to the wrong people. This resulted in two huge commercial flops due to poor box office sales for "Carry on Tommy" and a very poor lead vocal performance on the little known first Who album entitled "Ooh I say"

My mistake, but the event was of such stratospheric cheesiness the image is still burned into the retinas of those present to witness it. Audience and film crew members were the first ever instances recorded of people suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Mr Argent was so upset at this that all royalties from God Gave Rock & Roll To You are donated to PTSD charities and he promised never to move his guitar in sync with a bassist again.
