St Winifreds School Choir - There's No-One Quite Like Grandma [totp] Wonder if Sally Lindsay is out there watching this video and singing along :) Anyone who was on this video, post a message and lets know how you are all doing :)
My grandma passed away on Saturday, this song reminds me of her and is now bringing floods of tears. RIP Gran, we will always love you and forever miss you xxxxxx
My sister and I used to put this on at my grandparents house when we would visit. My Granma passed away on Friday 9th September 2022 and this is bringing back happy memories of a fantastic childhood with a fantastic Granma. R.I.P Granma. Love you. 💔 xxxx
I agree this song has very special meanings to me. The memories of a great mum who died in 1975 and now my wife this year. People can knock this song al they like but it will always live in our memories and will never die. If people don't like it stay away from it we do not force you to listen to this great song. Rest In Peace Mum & Ginna I miss you both.
My Grandma was my life, the only person who cared and loved me as i grew up, i miss her like crazy, 14 yrs may have past but what i wouldnt do to just share one more day and one more hug with her. Love you always Grandma x x x
I'm in this!(Top left at 1.23) Now aged 38, living in London & although not in the same league as Sally Lindsay, I pop up in a few TV programmes, magazines & newspapers from time to time, ususally as a supporting or featured artist (got a couple of clips on RU-vid if you know where to look!)
Nan said it reminded her of us. Makes me cry still. Miss her so much. Will be playing it for the future generation soon. Have the 45 but nothing to play it on. Thank you for posting it! XXX
Well, all of you out there may laugh but when our kids were wee.....this SINGLE came out, they sent it to their grandma who lived in Canada. Tears were shed then and tears are shed now on re-discovering it on RU-vid........Thank you RU-vid!!!
dedicated to my nan 'edith lumley'' we always used to sing this to you every time you had a party. sitting here still missing and thinking of you everyday ...i love you xxxx
Happy memories of Xmas 1980, and a reminder of those innocent times. As well as appearing on TOTP, the children will have been treated to a great day out - and then delivered safely back home afterwards. If only things were as simple these days !
Wow; sorry to hear about your grandmother passing. If my grandma suddenly passed, I would definitely play this song at her funeral or any other service we had for her.
There is something incredibly unnerving and sad in those voices. This is just wonderfully disturbing, I picture lots of dead bodies, diseased people and a lot pollution, while an old radio plays this song.
Just absolutely insane that this was a big hit. Do not get me wrong, I love that it was possible, but it is like someone's home video of their kids going to the top of the charts
this brings back memories of my nan every christmas we would sit on the floor at my nans feet and sing this song to her wish she was here today so that we can sing it to her once again but she is now in gods care we miss her loads R I P nan i play this every year still in her memory but i now i cry each time i hear this song she died in 2001 :( love you nan xx
Imagine all the lads she must have either cheated on or how many times she married in her life I’m guessing she probably conceived and gave birth to a large amount of daughters to become the kids’s mothers but then think of how many times the mothers must have married, had relationships or cheated. How did the mother or grandmother survive with this insane amount of children and grandchildren.
He was more into girls that were just developing into adulthood often from secondary schools My own back story is.. we raised money for Stoke Mandeville hospital which Jim was a patron of so the cheque had to passed to him along with taking some photos etc.. We all crowded round him for the pics.. as his hands went round the backs of two of my classmates , I stood just behind ..his wandering hands swept over their bottoms slowly squeezing and fondling..the friends tried emphatically to laugh it off .. It was the talk of our class room for a long time ,obviously it gradually sizzled out but I still recall one friend Susan stating he was just a dirty disgusting old man and I've met a few famous people like him!" I sure wish she told us who they were !
God this brings back memories. Kinda ironic that most of them are probably grandmas now - when they sang this song you had to be at least 50 to be a gran!
A classic charter, Xmas number 1 1980. I wonder if now these kids are well grown up if as they say in the song we'll look back when we are older. I be they do especially if they listen back to their child hood to this very song.
I remember falling asleep to a tape that played this song... along with "Grandad" by Clive Dunn and "I will survive" by Gloria Gaynor... oh and "Love is all around" by Wet Wet Wet.
i feel kind of wierd or sad watching this it reminds me of school. but then it reminds me of pre-school i can't take this song anymore i have to stop it i feel like i'm gonna faint.
Excuse me but if this helps people remember their Grandmas in their own way let them do so. I have no Grandmas left as i got robbed of them much to early & this flashes up memories for me. Thankyou for your attention.
