Black Lace hit Agadoo, named the worst song of all time by a panel of music writers, is being re-released 25 years after it hit number two.

The song, kept off the top by George Michael's Careless Whisper in 1984, won the title in a 2003 Q magazine poll.

The video for Agadoo (Mambo 2009 remix) was directed by Bruce Jones, who played Coronation Street's Les Battersby.

Black Lace singer Dene Michael said: "With all the doom and gloom in the world, this is just what we need."

Actor Jones also appears in the video along with fellow former Coronation Street actor Kevin Kennedy, who played Curly Watts in the soap.

Michael is joined on the record, released on Monday, by new member Ian Robinson.

Michael's original partner in the duo, Alan Barton, died in a bus crash in 1995.

The band's other hits include Superman, Do The Conga and I Am The Music Man.

The Q magazine panel summed up the 1984 original as "magnificently dreadful".

"It sounded like the school disco you were forced to attend, your middle-aged relatives forming a conga at a wedding party, a travelling DJ act based in Wolverhampton, every party cliche you ever heard," the panel added.

This thread is about the dire song not they hairstyles.

I can do the whole dance.  I preferred Supreman though

Superman is more descriptive.

Fixed!

Why?

::)

It'll probably hit Number One again!  ;D

Agadoo was a remake of the 1974 hit 'Agadou' by Quebec born singer Patrick Zabe.  So naturally I can't really hate the song, but in reality, I do actually enjoy it.  So much, that back in the late 90s, I paid big $$ to buy a Black Lace greatest hits CD lol

I liked their version of 'Wig Wam Bam'

It'll probably hit Number One again!  ;D
It will be better than the rubbish that forms the charts these days.

Thankfully, it didn't in the first place...but it came worringly close!  :P

What can I say .. I had to have it LOL  It's not even a GH CD technically as it contains new versions of their old hits

I'm not sure whether that makes it doubly worse!  :D

(Okay, I confess I have got the thing, but that was only for DJ-ing purposes from many moons ago! And I'm pretty sure I used to sneak off to the toilet whilst it was playing...)

i must admit, i never heard of agadoo?

Then consider yourself blessed, sir!

Something I mentioned before, but recently Agadou was revived in Canada in a popular commercial for Kellogg's Mini-Wheats.  Alot of people hate this commercial, but not me.  I've been a fan of Mr. Mini-Wheat for years
