The Young Ones is a British TV series which started in 1982 features a hippie (Neil), a violent punk metal (Vyvyan), a cool person (Mike) and a would be anarchist (Rick).  It is a very unique series about four under graduate student sharing a house together, a must see.

Though what do these guys have to do with music?  In almost each of their episode, like MTV’s Beavis and Butt-head, there is always some featured music or band.  Though Rick the Anarchist, was clearly a fan of Cliff Richard.  Funny though how such a ‘wild’ anarchist has a soft spot for such a ‘soft’ singer, a polite gentleman.

In 1986, after the four seasons of The Young Ones finished, as part of the British charity television appeal, all 4 guys were featured in a music video with Cliff Richard for the song Living Doll.  Back then Living Doll reached again the top of the UK charts.

I personally find this video hilarious, especially when compared to today’s commercial music videos.  While today music artists try hard to look really good and have a better music video than their song, The Young Ones in this Living Doll video do everything to look rediculous, yet as great as ever.  Check it out.
