10. Bloody 'ell...

Af everybody did that goofy dance in a concert, there'd be so many bruised body parts... hmm, was this group a front for the hospital industry?

Probably not. The bloke is advising everybody to enjoy "Doin' Freddy"...

7. You got it just right

The Beatles were simply incomparable. Freddy and the Dreamers were, I think (I HOPE), intentionally dreadful. By the way, do you remember The Hullabaloos?

8. Eric Burdon was my first vocal role model when I was starting to become a singer

Obviously Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Who... But also THEM, and I liked Gerry and the Pacemakers. D.C. Five rocked too...First Moody Blues album included covers of James Brown and Sonny Boy Williamson before they went artsy. Freddy and the Dreamers were just silly fun of a type that's appropriate for children as opposed to the soft core porn that's marketed to 12 year olds these days.
