Does anyone know if the Rats did a normal studio performance of Mondays on TOTP or did they just show the video. I know video performances were fairly new at that stage so people may have been more impressed with the video than the band turning up in the studio.
I have never seen a studio performance for TOTP of the song and I doubt there is one. Also didn't bands do a TOTP Christmas special so did the turn up for that in 1979 or again just show the video?
For the Christmas TOTP in '78 the Rats did Mary Of The Fourth Form, humorously holding up a sign saying "Mary Christmas!"
Afterthought- I wonder if the kids in the Mondays video tell people at parties that they appeared in a famous pop video and do the get paid royalties.
I don't think they ever did. Memory may be serving me badly but it was the video only. If the BBC continue with the full reruns of TOTP, then only just over a year to wait and find out for sure...
