  • I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm baffled as to how Carol Lee Scott didn't have a more successful singing career. That voice! It gets me every time...
    This is Gimme Dat Ding, originally by The Pipkins, first broadcast on 21st September 1983. Many thanks to Louise for lending me this tape.
    (Please remember that this is an old VHS recording, so don't go expecting 1080p HD quality. I'm fairly certain that this video isn't commercially available, and I've uploaded it for its historic interest only. That said, if you are a copyright holder and object, please don't hesitate to contact me.)

    Oh man - Carol was funny, clever, silly, unconventionally gorgeous and one hell of a singer. I sincerely hope her family read these comments and realise that she’s still entertaining people after she’s gone. One of a kind.

    *"Gimme that" repeated ad nauseam*
    But seriously, Carol Lee had such a wonderful, soulful voice and I don't know why the albums she released under her actual name weren't really successful. But I DO know she left quite a legacy; not only for 80s kids who watched the Pink Windmill shows on TV, but for younger people that were introduced to the Pink Windmill shows via the All Live '84 "Can't Stop The Music" routine, like me; for example.

    Grotbags could actually hold a tune better than Rod! I remember seeing her on The Saturday Show years ago - with some of the Pink Windmill Kids, I think - where she sang a fast number towards the end of the show, with Jeremy Beadle dancing with a female guest. I know I'm showing my age, but children's TV shows were the best in the 80's! The only one I like now is Horrible Histories...

    It might have helped if she understood the song. It's "ding", not "thing".
    The lyrics explain it a bit: "What good's a metronome without a bell for ringin'?"
    (I know, I know: metronomes don't use bells but ask those who wrote the original TV show for which this song was made.)

      The look of the show was indeed partly based on HR Pufnstuf - that's not a secret. Nothing to do with Pee Wee's Playhouse, though, as Emu's World pre-dates that by a few years.
