Sometimes I forget that which was culturally contemporaneous with the music I first loved, and then I stupidly click on a link and I remember just how much I needed music in the late 70s/early 80s.

As soon as I hear that music, I am instantly transported back to being a little kid watching the US reruns of the Benny Hill Show with my grandfather, who absolutely ADORED his show. It was like a nightly 7:30 ritual in our house for a good many years.
OH, and this Benny Hillification by a friend of mine has had me in stitches all night:
