Lovely stuff! Reminds me of the old Viz Mud on Road, Sweet Trolley, The Pips single frame groaners.

Mud had a 'MUD ON ROAD' sign on Top.ofthe Pops once. Funny that I remember that after about half a century!

I'm actually so old that I remember my friends older sister coming home and furiously whacking him with her wooden sandal as punishment for playing her Mud records without permission while she was out at youth club.

 

That young girls in those days gravitated towards a group of blokes who looked, dressed and sounded like Mud says a lot about what a macabre time the mid-1970's was in Britain.

First gig I was ever meant to go to was Mud, think was Nov/Dec 1975. As was usual for that time of year I got a rotten cold so couldn’t go. Bah!

I remember that dance that people did to Mud records, putting their thumbs in their belts and moving their shoulders ect. It was a dance that blokes could do after drinking lots of beer

 

Little-known fact: Despite being from Surrey, Mud front man Les Gray was a lifelong fanatical Leeds United supporter.

I've just had flashbacks after watching this. Some songs and videos should have been buried and forgotten a long time ago. That dance with the blokes takes me back to the village hall in Tupton and watching older kids doing it. It looked shite then and hasn't got any better now. 

 

Oddly enough Ballroom Blitz isn't one of the songs to be buried and forgotten about (at least to me).

I think Tiger Feet might've been my first favourite tune as a very small kid. My older siblings had a bunch of 7" singles and the one I'd always play was Tiger Feet, quite partial to that David Dundas single too... must've had a thing about tigers (DD's song had a "tiger in my tank").

At Uni we used to do the Mud Dance whenever Status Quo came on.

Same here. It's the first song that I can vividly remember from Top of the Pops. I was 3½!

Rob Davis (the curly haired guitarist from Mud) wrote Can't Get You Out of My Head for Kylie, Groovejet for Spiller and Tocas Miracle for Fragma. I bet he earned more out of those than Tiger Feet.....

I remember blokes doing that dance at heavy rock discos in the late 1970's. It was definitely a thing. Probably much safer than headbanging, too. Not that anyone bothered about anything like that in those days, though.

First two singles I bought were 'Tiger Feet' and Hurricane Smith's 'Oh babe what would you say'. And yes I used to do the thumbs in belt dance, while drenched in Brut 33.

I would point out that far more young girls gravitated towards the Bay City Rollers. Perhaps their popularity then, with their incredibly short trousers, was reflected in the adoration with which Rishi Sunak was regarded.

Very much a biker thing too. I still do it when we're playing "Highway to Hell" so as to give me something to do in the verse.
