I think Neil is trying to do a Bowie (as it were) too. Chris's smiley dancing is quite hilarious as well. Rock n roll tragedy alert!

Did you also remark that ironing was not their strong point back then ? Neil have his shirt hided under another top, but you can see that his shirt is ruffled and for Chris well it's obvious...

Forced and unnatural. How they improved since then!

I love it when he starts shuffling his feet (dancing?) and gets them tangled up with the bottom of the mic stand.

That is painful! Neil clearly doesn't know what to do with himself, so does some embarassing moves to make it look Pop. The mime to the James Brown samples, well the least said the better!!
Chris has slightly less to be embarrassed about, but he too is being over Pop-tastic, expecially at the end.
I bet if they have seen this back and know it's out there for anyone to watch they'll feel mightily sickened about it!
So glad they figured out doing nothing was preferable to dancing around like a clueless tit.

Wow !
A great piece of history there.
The music is a different mix again. A kind of mix between the original 7" and the later 12".
I really must dig out some of my old video recordings and get someone to upload them to youtube.

I notice Neil sings, "I've got the dime!"
