Bad Taste Roy Orbison "Ashes' Joke on Going Live (1988-ish)

[Satchmo Distel]

Can anyone recall this? They are drawing out cards from a container for a Roy Orbison competition and this pop star says "are these the ashes?" Sarah Greene chides him and says "That's sick!"

Pop star was Scottish but not the Wet Wet Wet bloke.

No recollection of it, but it appears to be this Scotch chap from a band called Love and Money who talks about it here...

I'd always wondered how a band whose debut hadn't set the charts on fire managed to get such a huge budget from the label for the follow up. Cocaine is a hell of a drug, I suppose.

What kind of bribes got them on Going Live without ever having a Top 40 hit?

He lived near me in Glasgow, and once I saw him stop and pet my cat, who used to sit on the wall outside our close and watch the world go by, so he's alright in my book.

They were a fantastic band and their song Strange Kind of Love was a soundtrack to my hormonal maturity - a Scottish Prefab Sprout
