TV arrived in my life in 1988 when I was eleven years old, and it felt like I sudden leap into the future. My dad had seen a \u2018you can\u2019t afford not to\u2019 offer in the newspaper that got us a dish and 16-channel decoder supplied and fitted for next to nothing. Turning it on for the first time was a big event \u2014 we were the first people I know to get a dish and I remember having lots of friends and neighbours over to see it. We were all falling over each other in the lounge as we looked with wonder at the new channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-6924\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DraggedImage-2.jpeg\" alt=\"An Amstrad Fidelity decoder.

Look at all the buttons! Picture courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Luxcrypt_%2B_Amstrad_SRX200.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dishes all over Western Europe pointed skyward to the <a title=\"Wikipedia: Astra 1A\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Astra_1A\">Astra satellite<\/a>, and we all received the same programming. There were only 16 channels on the service, but this was a crazy amount compared to the four that we got through our terrestrial aerial. Only a few of the new channels were British \u2014 Sky One, followed eventually by Sky Movies and Sky News \u2014 with a significant number of others in German. The most fun were those that were aimed at everyone over <a title=\"Wikipedia: Eurosport\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eurosport\">Europe<\/a>, typically in English, such as Eurosport and <a title=\"Screensport\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Screensport_(TV_channel)\">Screensport<\/a>. The king of them all was <a title=\"Wikipedia: MTV (European TV Channel)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/MTV_(European_TV_channel)#1987-1997_-_One_MTV_for_the_whole_of_Europe\">MTV Europe<\/a>, the channel that was probably the reason we got the dish in the first place. From that point on, when I wasn\u2019t in front of my home computer you could usually find me in front of the TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Music was a big deal in our house when I was growing up. The radio, a tape or CD were playing <em>all the time<\/em>, whether we were at home or in the car. As it was for millions of others, for me Friday at school was spent talking about all of the bands that we\u2019d seen on <em><a title=\"Wikipedia: Top Of The Pops\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Top_of_the_Pops\">Top Of The Pops<\/a><\/em> the night before. Having MTV Europe in the house meant that I no longer had to wait for Thursday. Back then, the \u2018M\u2019 in MTV meant something, and music was front and centre in the programming. When a specialist show such as <em><a title=\"Wikipedia: 120 Minutes (British TV programme)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/120_Minutes_(British_TV_programme)\">120 Minutes<\/a><\/em>, <em><a title=\"Wikipedia: MTV\u2019s Most Wanted\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/MTV%27s_Most_Wanted\">Most Wanted<\/a><\/em> or <em><a title=\"Wikipedia: Yo! MTV Raps\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yo!_MTV_Raps\">Yo! MTV Raps<\/a><\/em> wasn\u2019t showing, we would get a stream of videos from the MTV playlist one after the other. It was brilliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the big benefits of having a pan-European station was that the songs on heavy rotation often hadn\u2019t gone far up the charts in the UK. They even had a specific chart programme, the <em><a title=\"Wikipedia: Euro Top 20\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Euro_Top_20\">MTV European Top 20<\/a><\/em> countdown, hosted by Pip Dann. Compared to our national chart, this one seemed to change at a <em>glacial<\/em> pace, and Dann must have been challenged to keep her commentary fresh every week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years I\u2019ve noticed that there are a whole bunch of songs that I remember from those days that my friends don\u2019t seem to be aware of. With the help of a wonderfully <a title=\"Infinity Disco Zone: MTV\u2019s European Top 20\" href=\"https:\/\/ki.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de\/~topsi\/mtvtop20.html\">old-school-looking website<\/a>, I\u2019ve scoured my memories to pick out the weird and wonderful songs that got <em>tons<\/em> of airplay on MTV Europe but are relatively unknown here in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lambada \u2014 Kaoma (1989)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People seem to know <a title=\"YouTube: Kaoma \u2014 Lambada\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/iyLdoQGBchQ\">this song<\/a> but aren\u2019t aware of the band that made it big. A video filled with Latin dancing, revealing clothes, Orangina, a silent angst between children who want to dance with each other, and an angry adult who slaps a young girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iyLdoQGBchQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Got to Get \u2014 Rob \u2018n\u2019 Raz featuring Leila K (1990)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I could never make my mind up as to whether <a title=\"YouTube: Rob \u2018n\u2019 Raz ft.
