There was always something brutish about Robin Askwith and this song and performance gives us an indication of what it might be like if a chimpanzee released a record but is nowhere near as funny. Nice of Marc to briefly mention Robin's latest X rated film to the thousands of children watching, particularly as he has positioned a trophy between his legs to represent an erect penis.
Yes, the single is just as limp as his contemptible films were. I once blundered into one of those 'Confessions of ...' efforts with some school friends after being fooled by a late switch of screens at the cinema showing it (we were trying to see 'The Adventures of Barry McKenzie'). Getting in to see an x-rated "sex-romp" should have been a major result for four pimply youths in the middle of a seven-year stretch at a boys-only grammar school. Sadly, it proved to be the most unerotic two hours imaginable. What a tiresome, charmless oaf Askwith was. Whenever he gave one of his trademark jack-the-lad grins to camara as a prelude to yet another bout of softcore "action" I just wanted to punch him.
ReplyDeleteIt is actually just 'a movie about camping' isn't it?
ReplyDelete'Confessions From A Holiday Camp' (1977) the death knell of a crappy series.
