Title: Swap shop returns to Saturday mornings

Who thought it would be a good idea to get Basil Brush hosting Swap shop? I don't thinks kids nowadays will find a stuffed talking fox very entertaining.

I LOVE Basil Brush! However, I never watched Swap Shop as I was old enough to be working on a Saturday when it was on.

Oh I loved the old Basil Brush, but the new one just isn't the same...
 

It's an interesting thought, though without Noel Edmonds.... Swap Shop won't be the same either.

Oooh do you remember Brown Sauce?
The group they formed, and did a song called "I Just Wanna Be A Winner"?

I liked that song, still remember most of the words too.

Oh God! How SAD am I?

 

DON'T answer that. Please. LOL

Don't wanna dance like Fred Astaire,
Be like a Superman through the air;
Don't wanna join Claire Francis in the riggings,
Pot the black with Hurricane Higgins.
Don't wanna ride like Willie Carson,
Be a Bishop or an important Parson;
Don't wanna hit Geoff Boycott for four,
Knock Mohammed Ali on the floor.

(I just wanna be a winner)
Just a little Oscar please,
(I just wanna be a winner)
or a box of CBEs,
(I just wanna be a winner)
I wouldn't mind if it was Nobel,
(I just wanna be a winner)
Even Eric would serve me well.
See one, feel one, touch one,
See one, feel one, touch one,
See one, feel one, win an award.

Who'd want to rule like President Reagan,
Or kick a ball like Kevin Keegan.
Don't wanna sit Barbra Woodhouse does that.
I'd like to see her try it with the Blue Peter cat.
Penny Keith don't need me at the Manor,
I've no desire to marry Diana;
Don't even want to paint like Van Gogh,
Go nationwide with Frank Bough.

(I just wanna be a winner)
Just a little Oscar please,
(I just wanna be a winner)
or a box of CBEs,
(I just wanna be a winner)
I wouldn't mind if it was Nobel,
(I just wanna be a winner)
Even Eric would serve me well.
See one, feel one, touch one,
See one, feel one, touch one,
See one, feel one, win an award.

(I just wanna be a winner)

Even Eric would serve me well.
See one, feel one, touch one,

See one, feel one, win an award.

So you remember it too?
Even if you googled for the words, the song must have stayed in your memory.

Oh just reading them brought back the tune, the video, the whole feel of the thing.

Ahh to be young again. lol.
