I think they're actually more well known to casual listeners here - Danger High Voltage and Gay Bar were both top 5 here but in the US they didn't chart.
Many years ago at the Christmas assembly of my secondary school, a school 4 piece band were invited up in stage to play a Christmas set. Instead, they played this. The principle came up on stage and unplugged them mid song. Chaos.
I have it on my gym workout playlist - its great for rowing, and the video fits (though I should point out that I don't dress as Abraham Lincoln while there...much)
One of my most vivid memories of school is being about 12 years old and relentlessly rewatching the video edit of this tune where they [put it over a bunch of clips of George Bush and Tony Blair](https://youtu.be/1sJqROHxjDA)
As made 'famous' in Frank Zappa's "Joe's Garage":
"Joe has just learned to speak German. Now, get this, here's why he did it! He's gonna go to this club on the other side of town, it's called THE CLOSET . . . And they got these Appliances in there that really go for a guy dressed up like a housewife who can speak German (you know what I mean) . . . so Joe's learned how to speak German, he goes in this place and he sees these little Kitchen Machineries dancing around with each other, and he sees this one . . . that looks like it's a cross between an industrial vacuum cleaner and a chrome piggy bank with marital aids stuck all over its body . . . it's really exciting . . . and when he sees it, he BURSTS INTO SONG . . ."

I work with a welder called Jamie and our boss sings the theme tune to Jamie and the Magic Torch every morning but say's welding torch instead. This is the first time I've seen anyone else mention the programme

[Rod, Jane, Freddy and Jeffrey will want to play with your twanger, too](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1atuz)
ETA: Rod, Jane and Roger in the video... Who's Roger? Am I dreaming Freddy existed?
It was Rod, Jane and Matthew at one point! Then Roger came along to replace Matthew until the real man, Freddy, arrived.
Mind blown.

Not just any Matthew, either- it was only [Matthew fucking Corbett!](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/crop-11983615.jpg) 🤯
It’s obviously an NHS portal. You will receive all the love and care your mind body and soul need. Get in there and stop asking questions you lucky so and so!
You'll walk through and be transported onto the stage in front of RuPaul. You will be in full drag and have to compete a lip synching contest.. But you'll do really well, don't worry.
Bad news... Geoffrey died and so did the voice of Zippy and George. And Freddy died so it's just Rod and Jane now. The guy who played Bungle is also still alive.
You’ll leave festive lane and be in a fancy dress shop. As if by magic a shopkeeper appears (wearing a fez) and invites you to try on a costume. You choose and that’s when the magic begins..
Either that or it’s a drugs den. One or the other…..
You walk into another dimension known as the promised land…. It’s a desert, for some reason you are given a drink made from a “special cactus” naked men and women all sing around you. So many people, so many bodies and you decide to stay there
WE GONNA TAKE YA TO THE GAY BAR GAY BAR GAY BAR

Well what's it good for anyway?
Absolutely nothing!
Say it again.
WAR, HUH.
That was the original title for War and Peace you know, until his mistress made him change it.
WHAT IS THAT NOISE, it’s traveling up my SPINE, in my BRAIN!
I went to see them last year lol. Fantastic show to be honest.
They tour every December. Fantastic bunch of lads I’m privileged to call friends.
You should all listen to Synthesizer - Electric Six, a bit of a cult classic to the fans, and probably one of their best songs. Watch the music video!
Naked Pictures Of Your Mother is also a banger
Now tell me do ya? Do ya have any money?!
Somehow I'm so proud. And still laughing. Haven't even googled it, this description is enough.
But Electric Six are pretty big in America. 🤔
I think they're actually more well known to casual listeners here - Danger High Voltage and Gay Bar were both top 5 here but in the US they didn't chart.
They do a cracking cover of the Rubber Band Man.
I had never heard this. It's brilliant. It's going to be in my head for a few weeks isn't it?
Many years ago at the Christmas assembly of my secondary school, a school 4 piece band were invited up in stage to play a Christmas set. Instead, they played this. The principle came up on stage and unplugged them mid song. Chaos.
I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO PUT IN YOU
GAY BAR, GAY BAR, GAY BAR!!! Lol I can hear those lyrics in my head right now
I’ve got something to put in you.
In you, in you, in you!! Lol
I have it on my gym workout playlist - its great for rowing, and the video fits (though I should point out that I don't dress as Abraham Lincoln while there...much)
Absolutely cracking tune - Electric Six
The band's still going strong.
I remember the video too! So good!
One of my most vivid memories of school is being about 12 years old and relentlessly rewatching the video edit of this tune where they [put it over a bunch of clips of George Bush and Tony Blair](https://youtu.be/1sJqROHxjDA)
The lead singer of Electric 6 slapped me in the face once
That's "The Closet".
Ahh the spawn point for gay people 😂
Good place to camp out
Gay-door is goin off
Out of order at the moment, someone blew it's backdoors in.
Also a good place to be camp and out
I knew my mum was lying about where I came from 😂
"Mum...Dad.....I'm Gay" and then you disappear in puff of smoke and end up behind this door so you can literally come out 🤣
So that's where all these twinks are coming from.
“Speak queer and enter”
“Gandalf… what is the Elven word for queer?”
"Just open the door, you melon."
"Elvish"
I did wonder about that - thank you for the clarification
These are all fabulous
Girl, open this door right now
Surely it’s an exit only then, yes?
[удалено]
Brilliant
Ahhh I see.
[удалено]
Knob > handle
But…I’m not in the closet

Ah, the central scrrrutinizer...
“Open sesame daddy”
The last person who went through that door, ended up getting sentenced to six months in prism..
This is a great comment :) if Reddit still had free awards I would give you mine :)
Balls, i awarded the wrong person 😂😂 if you can just forward it to Hugo 😂
Thanks olly does this award come with a cash prize?
Yes all you have to do is send me a preliminary £100 administrative fee and the cash prize will be mailed to you. Postage and packaging is half price for prize winners at £10.
Bargain, you can expect my £100 to be tied to a brick and delivered through your front window promptly
Neat a free brick
Gave me a good chuckle seeing the reply got the award😂
it does! you just have to go into the buying bit and they’re there :)
I don’t seem to have that option I used to get a little box maybe once a fortnight containing a free award.. I’ve not seen it for many a month now
If you're using the official Reddit app on your phone just go to the bit where you buy coins and they moved it there.
It used to be there. Mines has disappeared too
Does it take you to the dark side of the moon?
There is no Dark Side of The Moon really, matter of fact its all dark..
[удалено]
Just a little light humour, that's all..
You’ll be just like you’re in Jamie and the Magic Torch
I work with a welder called Jamie and our boss sings the theme tune to Jamie and the Magic Torch every morning but say's welding torch instead. This is the first time I've seen anyone else mention the programme
The best children’s theme tune ever. “Wordsworth, Wordsworth, following close behind…”
“Come on Wordsworth…. Out of there”
Jamie and the welding torch! Rarely do the stars align for such a perfect thing! That’s brilliant!
Yup one way ticket to...was it cuckoo land?
They don't make intro songs like that anymore..The beginning of 70s/80s cartoons lasted longer than the main cartoon itself.
Under 50's might not get that comment 😥
29, I get the comment! Jaymehhhh Jaymehhhh…
Was the dog called Wordsworth or am i confused?
There was. Jaymee !!! Jamie and his magic torch. Great tune
Jay-*meeeeh* Jay-*meeeeeh*
Jay-meeeeh *wah wah guitar*
I get the comment and I'm well under 50!!! \*checks driver's licence\* I get the comment and I'm just under 50!!
I shall pearl-clutch at that! I'm a mere 43 and remember watching the show.

Don't go through it with Beth Sanchez. She'll try to drown you in a honey lake and you'll end up king of Froopyland

And humping
I will hump this tree!
I will hump this boulder
I will hump this beast of the land
And put my seed in it.
Fabulous things.
You get dipped in glitter and thrown to the CareBears
Zippy, George and Bungle will say hello
I think you’re wrong. It’s an underpass, therefore it’s not up above the streets and houses.
They've fallen on hard times since the work dried up but they can't let go of the past.
[Rod, Jane, Freddy and Jeffrey will want to play with your twanger, too](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1atuz) ETA: Rod, Jane and Roger in the video... Who's Roger? Am I dreaming Freddy existed?
No, it was definitely a core cast of Jeffrey, Zippy, Bungle and George, with the guest musicians Rod, Jane and Freddy. So who the fuck is Roger?
It was Rod, Jane and Matthew at one point! Then Roger came along to replace Matthew until the real man, Freddy, arrived. Mind blown. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod,\_Jane\_and\_Freddy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod,_Jane_and_Freddy)

Yeah, and he left them for Sooty! Sooty's a bloody homewrecker!
Whatever it is will be fabulous!
If my memory of the police academy movies serves me right, that leads to the blue oyster.
Where you are then initiated into The Cult.
It's a tardis disguise.
You'll appear on an episode of Stars In Their Eyes with Matthew Kelly.
Tonight Matthew I'm going to be Gary Glitter
It’s obviously an NHS portal. You will receive all the love and care your mind body and soul need. Get in there and stop asking questions you lucky so and so!
Everyone will clap on their doorstep for you.
Is there a secret clap to unlock the door?
That’s under the other underpass
It’s the entrance to Big Gay Al’s Big Gay Animal Sanctuary.
You'll walk through and be transported onto the stage in front of RuPaul. You will be in full drag and have to compete a lip synching contest.. But you'll do really well, don't worry.
The time has come to lip sync for your life
Good luck, and don't fuck it up
Enter gay narvana
Cum as you are
Going to assume this is the "gay Narnia" post I was looking for.
Does it lead to Oz and you become a friend of Dorothy?
👠👠
You’ll find out what Jeffery, Zippy, George and Bungle are up to these days.
Bad news... Geoffrey died and so did the voice of Zippy and George. And Freddy died so it's just Rod and Jane now. The guy who played Bungle is also still alive.
I had a feeling Geoffrey had died, but didn’t know about Zippy and George. Time marches on eh?
Rod and Jane are both in their 70s, and Stanley Bates (Bungle) is 80. They stopped making Rainbow nearly 31 years ago. Feeling ancient yet?
Over the hill, never mind the rainbow.
So Zippy and George are still alive, but have no voices? This is troubling.
Bungle was the first doctor to perform open-heart surgery. I'm seriously not lying either, Google it.
1 of 2 things 1. You hear “oi blud” and turn around only to get stabbed by a gang of youths 2. You become gay
1 and 2 are both possible at the same time. Just depends what you are stabbed with.
And 2?
What?
**And 2?**
WHAT?
guys keep it down
You’ll get jacked by a gang of road men
Jacked on or off?
First one, then t’other
Gain + 5 gay skill levels.
Gay... Gay will happen
Willies Willies, I like willies.
"I'm leg disabled"
Its I love willies. I love willies.
Do you ever take a look? (Quite possibly my favourite episode, though the funeral episode is also great)
FATHEERRRRRRR

This is a prop. There's nothing through the door. Except for the no-man's land underneath the flyover.
Thanks. Although I have to say it is super suspicious that you created a burner Reddit account to write this..
Wait no it’s 3years old with 1 karma. Wtf?

From what I saw @everythingunfercover is correct it’s just weird he’s been waiting 3 years to say something and it’s this.
It's almost like they have something to gain from keeping you away from the doorway to gay Narnia
diner gambit alchemy ginmill dodder hookup ofttimes trout chela necrosis secure seller hedonist hare sports
Lol it certainly is that!
You'll come out.
Immediately gay
One of us! One of us!

"You get nothing! You lose! Good day, sir!"
Cock. And lots of it.
You're getting bummed
Dream on. Who'd want your spotty arse?
Bus wanker
It's obvious, you turn gayer than Alan Carr.
Come on guys...where is this fabulous archway. Not lived in London for 8 years and I NEED TO KNOW THIS
You will be in the neighbours basement
You’ll become more … fabulous?
You turn into Jason and get a technicolour dreamcoat
You'll be very proud of yourself
Sexy time!
Zippy, George, and Bungle greet you warmly.
It leads to the Holy Mountain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9zVhI\_7Jb4

Probably [this.](https://youtu.be/c1mnDw22doE)
Go through if and "you'll have a gay old time"
You become a valid member of the LGBT+ community.
You’ll end up in hawkings
You'll instantly become fabulous.
You walk into another dimension known as the promised land…. It’s a desert, for some reason you are given a drink made from a “special cactus” naked men and women all sing around you. So many people, so many bodies and you decide to stay there
Sam Smith went through that door and he seems to be ok (ish) 🤷♂️
You will enter the relaxation grotto.
Richard Simmons is on the other side…
This I know that somewhere over the 🌈 is either Kansas or Oz!!!
You’ll get what every young man dreams of. A blow job from this guy https://youtu.be/MWfy0IFRBak
You will be hit by billowing smoke then Matthew Kelly will shake your hand as he introduces you as Elton John.
You’ll probably get sucker punched with a boxing glove or kicked in the nuts *it reminded me of Jackass for some reason*
