“Well flash your warning lights all you like” How did I manage not to hear a song with a line like that., “Tiger Feet“ by the English Clam Rock Band  Mud. In case you’re like me a little intro might be necessary.The band  was formed in the sixties and their song Tiger Feet rose to number 1 on the charts. I read where they wore Tiger feet at a “Top of Pops” TV program. Again a music show I never heard mentioned before. I am not sure if clam rock means they were “Teddy Boys”. Which is also a term I never heard before, sounds like it might have been an equivalent to todays “Steam Punk” culture.Glitter Bands, I read that was a step up  from a Clam Band. Sounds like the early Nashville cowboy performers with their “nudie” Suits.

It is glam (not clam) rock and the name came about because stage outfits became more and more glamorous. Look at Abba's Waterloo outfits as an example. Although followed by punk rock, some of the 80's hair bands continued the glam rock look.

Top of the pops was the UK's weekly pop chart top 20 rundown with performers of the songs miming along to their singles. I think pretty much every youngster was glued to their TV on a Thursday evening, including me.
