Asked to perform on the show Bobby Gillespie said no. Why? To do it the band would have to fly to Luton Airport and they feared if their plane crashed they’d be forever associated with the Bedfordshire town. “It’s not right, is it? It’s not mythical. It’s not legendary,” noted Gillespie. Like Arctic Monkeys, The Clash refused to go on TOTP – so in pre video days programme makers got in house dancers Pans People to perform a routine to ‘Bank Robber’ in their absence. The best surrealist artists couldn’t beat it for strangeness.
Though an often host, the world’s greatest DJ wouldn’t stand for TOTP’s pop rubbish, typified by his follow up to George Michael and Aretha Franklin‘s performance of ‘I Knew You Were Waiting For Me’ when he told viewers: “You know, Aretha Franklin can make any old rubbish sound good, and I think she just has.” It’s your big break, finally all the people who called you freak at school will see you on TV. Not if you’re the Manics who appeared in terrorist style balaclava masks. Complaints flooded in. Watch now. Scoring a number two with his Wolfman collaboration, Doherty put in a touching performance without his collaborator as TOTP apparently feared his appearence might scare small children. Watch now. The latest episode of the podcast which asks; Whoops Scotties, Tasty Tarts Foster Grants or Allied For Carpets For You? They battled for number one, so how did Blur modestly celebrate beating Oasis? They rubbed it in with bassist Alex James playing his victorious performance wearing their rival’s t-shirt.Forget an edit, Green Day opted to play the full nine minutes of ‘Jesus Of Suburbia’ on the show. It was so big they played the song outside. Forced to mime, Nirvana decided to restore the live element to ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ by trashing their kit and starting a mini stage invasion in the studio. Watch now.
You’d have thought the show would have learnt about the miming… not “mad for it” Noel and Liam, who swapped jobs for ‘Roll With It’ yet the programme makers fail to notice the Gallaghers’ jape. Watch now. As lovers of all things pop Morrissey and Johnny Marr made their TOTP performances must watch occasions with their full gladiolus swinging, hearing aid wearing pomp. Watch now.

Such was Kurt Cobain’s influence, when he made good on a promise to do a split single with grungers Jesus Lizard, TOTP were forced to book the Chicago band. “It was fun” said singer David Yow, “but Nirvana were the only reason we got on the show.” All our garments are ethically produced: read our full ethical policy here.
