What happened to the audio-file "Barracudas - Summer Fun excerpt.ogg"? Moved? Never uploaded? --EarthFurst (talk) 22:06, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded it ages ago (2006?) but the 'Copyright Police' wanted it re-tagging. Instead of just doing it themselves, they left a message on my talk page. As I uploaded quite a few files with, what were for the time, unusually comprehensive fair use rationales, I rather thought they were taking the piss. As a result it was deleted - and I no longer contribute .ogg files to Wikipedia. Thanks for the interest though. Regards, Ian Dunster (talk) 21:11, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Here's a link [1] to a video of them performing "Summer Fun" on Top of the Pops back in 1980 (the 1981 caption's wrong BTW) on YouTube. What a Great pop single! The person introducing the clip is former Radio 1 DJ Steve Wright. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.4.57.101 (talk) 20:32, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The single I Want My Woody Back / Subway Surfin' can not be released in Feb 1979. The back cover clearly states "Recorded at Freerange Studios 20/06/79". So it must be released after that date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.95.192.219 (talk) 20:32, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Children's BBC revival

[edit]

I remember the song "Summer Fun" had a brief revival in the early 1990s as it was used as the theme tune for Children's BBC summer holiday broadcasts during the Toby Anstis era sometime between 1992 and 1995. I'm fairly sure it got a re-release at the time off the back of the CBBC usage. Kelvingreen (talk) 12:54, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
