Posted March 7, 200718 yr this strange little comedienne turned her talents to music (before going to america and discovering 'the simpsons'...lol). in 83-4 she scored 6 hits all of which i thought were bloody decent! my fav was 'they dont know' (a cover????) which i rate very highly. her cover of doris days 'move over darling' was a cover that i rate higher then the original, thats rare! anyone else a fan?
March 8, 200718 yr quite liked her a a singer,although it was brief. Preferred her as a comediene tbh.
March 8, 200718 yr You can see her comedic qualities in her vids . . . 'They Don't Know' also has a brief cameo by Paul McCartney at the end. Although I associate this song more with Kirsty McColl. i0FIl4-cC9U The Tracy Ullman track I remember most of all is 'Sunglasses' . . . ooo-ooh, to hide behind . . . :cool:
March 13, 200718 yr You can see her comedic qualities in her vids . . . http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/ab/Girls_On_Top.jpg/220px-Girls_On_Top.jpg this dvd has been re-issued. supposed to be the female young ones. dvd mag said its a bit dodgy. probs true as noone has heard of it before unlike the young ones. :lol: esp with all the famous peeps off the telly!!!
March 13, 200718 yr Author ... heard of what? the dvd or the prog?... i remember the prog , it was funny but no where near 'young ones' standard
March 15, 200718 yr ... heard of what? the dvd or the prog?... the show (the dvd has just been released if you want to see it again, it reviewed last month) it was funny but no where near 'young ones' standard most writers and talking heads just go on about the young ones and the comic strip when they are marveling about british comedy

I used to love this! Jeez I'd forgotten all about it. Back when French and Saunders were funny as a double act . . . French, Saunders, Ullman and Wax were all at a really good stage in their careers when they made this imo. I might go and check this out. Your posts are gonna cost me a fortune at this rate Tigerboy! Grrrrrrr :lol:

March 16, 200718 yr Though she was a half decent singer, most of her singles were covers. My fave single of hers was SUNGLASSES. This was a cover of US singer Sandy Posey's 1968 country single. Other covers: Move Over Darlin' - Doris Day Terry - Kirsty McColl My Girl - Madness (My Guy)
March 16, 200718 yr As well as her huge hit, the cover of the sublime Kirsty MacColl classic - They Don't Know: ow-DVLrXxf4 Tracey Ullman - Breakaway video (UK#4 1983) - If the Pipettes covered this they would have a huge hit single IMHO. SLUqhiD5Lus Tracey Ullman - Move Over Darling video (UK#8 1983) - her cover of the Doris Day standard. w_7fEWj4nCU Tracey Ullman - My Guy video (UK#23 1984) - I much prefer the Madness original. dwr4s_ct8YM Tracey Ullman - Sunglasses video (UK#18 1984) - How did this not go higher in the charts in the summer of 1984? 5-2oSKQ-1Qw Tracey Ullman - Helpless video (UK#61 1984) - the dumper was beckoning..... PKSruszvAdc Tracey Ullman - Terry video (UK Flop (75+) 1985) - an inferior and less funny video of a Kirsty MacColl classic...... u12d0dnN0p8 Kirsty MacColl - Terry video (UK#83 1984) - this very funny video features a young (one) Adrian Edmondson and Phil Cornwall.
