Baker Street is a real street, so Bob Holness may or may not have been playing his saxophone in honour of Sherlock Holmes.

Apparently 2 people played sax on it, neither were James Bond.

I've just looked up what "voila" from off of French means, and it's the third-person singular past historic of voiler, which means "to cover with a veil". Voila!

Norm MacDonald didn't look like Norm from Cheers.

It wasn't until around 2014, when Norm MacDonald Live began, that I went back and realised that The Norm Show wasn't about Norm from Cheers.

I had him in mind too, because the guy who played Captain Hollister in Red Dwarf was Mac McDonald, another rotund gentleman.  The Norm from Norman Lovett naturally completed his ascent into Norm from Cheers.

Not really an obvious thing, but Robert Palmer died in 2003. But I could've sworn it was just a couple of years ago! Or is he one of those whose death keeps getting re-announced, like Tony Hart?

Robert Mugabe only died a couple of years ago. Maybe you're getting them confused?

Sebastian Cobb

they did both wear some pretty tight suits.

Robert Palmer is not the lead singer of Led Zeppelin. I think it's the "palm" bit that gets me.

an old obvious thing for me (believed this for part of the 90s) - 29 Palms wasn't by Robert Palmer.

Robert Mugabe sang with Bonnie Tyler in Vinegar Jim, who in turn played sax on Blockbusters.

Paul Calf

Blur album filler track 'Tracy Jacks' is not a Pulp-esque meditation on the plight of a beautiful woman shackled to a life of dull domesticity as I had previously thought (I hardly listened to the words because...well...it's Blur, isn't it) but a chronicle of a middle-aged man's midlife breakdown.

The 'laaah laaah lah la-la-la-la...' bit in Buckles' ramblechat song actually goes 'Blah, blah, blah etc.'. 

Of course it does, how did I ever think otherwise?

I still remember when I realised that he doesn't sing "we'll fuck Uckfirst on this".

Guitar and bass on You Oughta Know were done by Dave Navarro and Flea.

Dave Navarro looks odd these days.

The lyric in All I Really Want is "I'm like Estella", not "I like a Stella".

Where did you look it up?

Quote from: wiktionaryEtymology
From vois ("see!, look!"), second-person singular imperative of voir ("to see, to look") and là ("there"), literally meaning "look there!".

Quote from: etymonline1739, French voilà, imperative of voir "to see, to view" (from Latin videre "to see;" see vision) + la "there" (from Latin ille "yonder;" see le).

Wiktionary, but I think I was looking at "voila" rather than "voilà". Stupid bloody Europeans and their accents. Let's do a Brexit.

He does, you're right. I was very annoyed by his rise to popularity in the mid 90s, he seemed an unpleasant throwback to the cock rock hair days what with his tattoos and makeup and general pretty boy bad boy look. At the time I thought all that posing had been vanquished, guess not.

On a similar note,  the drums and bass on Werewolves Of London was done by Fleetwood and Mac!

I always have to remind myself that Mac is actually Mc. Call yourselves Fleetwood Mc, cunts, or McFleetwood.

The Italia Conti drama school is nothing to do with Tom Conti. I assumed the man was sitting on a goldmine and one of the most influential actors out there. Completely made up in my head. I lived 500 yards away from the Italia Conti building for 15 years and every time I walked past I would imagine Tom Conti as some sort of silent powerful guiding hand of UK theatre, but it turns out that he's nothing to do with the place.

It's to do with John Conte.

Jim Carrey's satirical gun control song Cold Dead Hand ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0Wn3Eey6dY) is a very blatant parody of Marty Robbins' Big Iron (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NuX79Ud8zI).

Louis and Lewis can be pronounced the same way.

Until quite recently I thought the TOTP dance troupe Pan's People, were called 'Pam's People' and that Pam was an older lady who was the choreographer / svengali behind it all.

I had the exact same thought until I read this, totally convinced it was his school. Although I looked on his wikipedia to confirm and he probably is sitting on a goldmine:

QuoteConti is a prominent resident of Hampstead in northwest London, having lived in the area for several decades. Conti was part of a campaign against the opening of a Tesco supermarket in nearby Belsize Park. Conti put his Hampstead house up for sale in 2015 for £17.5 million after his long-running opposition to the building plans of his neighbour, the footballer Thierry Henry.

Fair enough he's been in loads of things, but I wouldn't put him in the 20 million quid house bracket of actors.
