Probably the lamest vocal intro in rock history, but I love this.

This performance was mimed, as TV shows of this era often were, but the drummer is really taking the piss.

How'd he lose his sticks? I saw them fly at the least singer, but no clue why.
Lead singer totally forgot one of his "Yeah yeah yeah," bits just before that.

I think he threw them. They were all talented musicians but probably starting to get a bit pissed off with their pop career by this point.

Love these lads, especially this song.
I have a running gag with my closest friends where I transition any song we are singing to "Ballroom Blitz."
