I just watched all of these because they reminded me of a particular time when I was at school. The only one I hadn't heard of was the Cowsills. I find their video somewhat unsettling, but I can't work out why. Everything was so simple before MTV. 😀

@FreddieUK I’m not sure if you watched the U.S. tv show The Partridge Family (Shirley Jones, David Cassidy) back then ? The Cowsills were the actual family that show was based upon.

@bijouxbroussard I know of the show, but never watched it myself. Interesting though, I didn't know there was an actual family on which the show was based.

@FreddieUK Yes, the Cowsills consisted of 6 siblings and their widowed mother. When the Partridge Family show was being proposed, reportedly the Cowsills themselves were considered, but by that time were "too old" for the roles.
