The Dentists "Writhing On The Shagpile"

Everyone's got their complaints about YouTube, but folks, this – THIS is why YouTube is great.



It was recorded live at the Bull & Gate, Kentish Town, London on August 29, 1987. "Writhing on the Shagpile" was their only single of 1987, actually, and it was released by UK label Tambourine. As they say at the start of the video, it's a very sexual song – haha. Indeed, but it's also one hell of a dancefloor ripper – the song is just rife with perfectly shambolic solos. I would kill for a video of "I Had An Excellent Dream" or "Burning The Thoughts From My Skin", but this will do just fine for now! A few more videos to be found HERE, including "She Dazzled Me With Basil"!

Stumble It!
