This is Smokie, fronted by their original lead singer, Chris Norman, (who Dotty knows something about but she can’t tell you because it’s a secret), singing their most famous song. Watch it, it’s good, it’s a nice little love song.

This is Smokie, fronted by their replacement lead singer, Alan Barton (who Dotty knows something about but she can’t tell you because it’s a secret), singing THEIR version of their most famous song. I prefer this one.

I know so many secrets about so many people – I should be blackmailing EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM and I’d be RICH.

Seb
/ August 23, 2012Is the secret that the latter singer killed and ate the former one?
Dotty Headbanger
/ August 26, 2012Dear Seb,
No, it was the other way round.

judithatwood
/ August 23, 2012Do you have any idea why the band allows this ludicrous non-singer to front them. What a childish fucker — ruined a very sweet song. Wish i could write to him and tell him how stupidly juvenile he sounds, but that would be unfair to children. I guess I need to say “infantile” when I speak of him. This is bad.
Dotty Headbanger
/ August 26, 2012Dear Judith,
It is. But it’s funny. They were a local band and people used to sing the second version at live performances before the first lead singer left.

Very weird. I love the original version! Thanks for posting this!

Probably.

poetmcgonagall
/ August 24, 2012Never heard of Smokie, but they’ve clearly improved musically. In the first clip I felt like whacking the singer upside the head.

Oh dear. Violence is NEVER the answer.

Threec
/ August 28, 2012I’ve never heard of them either but after a little cheat peak at Wikipedia, I learned that Chris Norman (the first singer) dueted with Suzi Quatro on Stumblin’ In. Wow, mediorcrity abounds.
Threec
/ August 28, 2012Mediocrity. Sorry, bad spelling also apparently runs rampant.
Dotty Headbanger
/ August 29, 2012Dear Threec,
You learn something new and valuable every day.
Love Dotty xxx
Threec
/ August 29, 2012Yes, that’s how I look at it. It also helps one become quite an formidable trivia quiz contestant. As long as I don’t have to type my answers (peak should be peek). What is wrong with me? I never used to have problems with homonyms…
Dotty Headbanger
/ August 29, 2012Dear Threec,
It’s the recent standard of British education rubbing off on you.
Love Dotty xxx
Threec
/ August 29, 2012Afraid not. I’m a Yank with a strong suspicion that I was born in the wrong country.
Dotty Headbanger
/ August 29, 2012Dear Threec,
I know – I meant through your telly watching.
Love Dotty xxx
Threec
/ August 29, 2012Damn it! I knew I shouldn’t have watched that episode of The Only Way is Essex.
Dotty Headbanger
/ August 29, 2012Dear Threec,
DON’T WATCH ANY MORE EPISODES. IT WILL KILL YOUR BRAIN CELLS.
I can honestly say I’ve never, ever watched that programme. I’d rather eat fleas.
