re: The Dance - I certainly recall this being done to Quo mid 70's. Not, I hasten to add, in the poncey & half-hearted manner demonstrated in the Mud clips, but by lines of men, for the most part, performing the dance most aggressively. Heads went down low, rugby scrum style, elbows & fists would knock you for six if you were slightly out & for those who could accomplish all this while retaining their balance there would be an accompanying foot stomp - often resulting in the DJs needle jumping. It was, as far as I know, a dance rooted in the rock & roll of the '50s & not for the faint hearted - if performed properly! That's interesting. With one exception, it's always been terribly embarrassing when I've seen it. The exception was seeing a load of long haired bikers really going for it seriously in a club one night at about 3am (as you do). To be honest, they looked really cool...and yes, it was Quo they were doing it to. I may be wrong, but I think they also got up and danced that way to Dr Feelgood, but I may be wrong. Have you seen this sort of aggressive dance done for any other band in the 70's or 80's? Save

SaveThat sounds like the genuine article, & it is the only way to do it without looking like an embarrassing twat. No, I've never seen it done to any other band, not by real people.

Sorry Dennis - does not compute - it never looks anything but - I don't care if bear Grylls does it with Giant Haystacks. I can only assume you've never seen it done properly, certainly not if you associate it with Mud!

Thumbs in belt loop, lean back, shoulder, shoulder, shoulder, lean forward left, lean back, repeat (but lean forward right)? Perfect for C&W barn dances, that's ALL!!!!!!
