Fog On The Tyne, A Collaborative Cover With Lindis
Fog on the Tyne, a collaborative cover with Lindisfarne was released with "Gazzamania" at fever pitch following his exploits in the Italia 90 World Cup. "Daft as a brush" Gazza managed to reach the heady heights of number 2 in the UK singles charts, and really played up to the camera in his crazy video, with a wacky dance, wonky shades and on-stage monkey business. We had already enjoyed a brief taste of his musical attributes with his cameo appearance in New Order's World in Motion anthem, and this release certainly didn't disappoint. Gazza was a role model to young kids like me back in the early 90's. Our Lee always copied his hairstyles, and he would simply say "Gazza Cut" when the barber enquired what style he was after. This song will always remind me of those great days, and it will be cherished by our family for the foreseeable future. Get back in the studio G8!!
What a character he was "daft as brush" Gazza calling himself G8 and wearing novelty boobs, I bet he's laugh a minute, wish I was that popular!
What!!?? Paul Gascoigne played for Boro!? I thought he was playing at Newcastle still. I didn't actually know that Newcastle sold him to the Boro. Fantastic player though, I remember that goal he scored - it was proper mint!
Gazza has been a massive influence on my life, although I am terrible at football, I love showing off, I eat kebabs and drink lots, my favourite drink is cocktails although I don't know what G8's is. I have some character flaws too, where as I have battled severe bouts of depresion and I have also punched my wife in the face, I can do a lethal "Fog on the Tyne" on the karaoke, I can also do John Barnes' rap on that World Cup song too. Gazza is mint and I wish he still played for the Boro.
Aye the Gazza cut, I remember it very well - although I was a bit behind the times back then. I was still styling my hair on trendy side spikes and shaving my own burners off with my dads razor when he wasn't about. It was France 98 when I first asked for a Gazza cut. I felt I could run rings around all my mates on the park gates just outside Tongies house. However, they all got their own back by dragging me around a field on Boxing day, when I had a new shell suit on.
