3. The camel cracked me up

Never mind that Middle Eastern camels have only one hump (the two-humped camels are in Central Asia). It was still funny.

4. Funny and catchy!

:thumbsup:

Was this part of a show at some point? Looks like a Video tape to digital transfer.

5. Looks like it was part of a show called UK Gold.

I'm guessing it was the UK version of Solid Gold. Remember that dumb show? They'd never have done anything half as clever as this.

6. UK Gold is a satellite TV station

that shows older programming.

The logo might be like the station logo that you sometimes see on shows from the Discovery or History channels to indicate the source.

7. Ah. Thank you!

I forgot that networks and shows didn't feel the need to constantly ID themselves 30 years ago.

and it's a performance by Legs & Company:
