Sounds an awful lot like a typical K-Tel or Pickwick soundalike version. (voiceover in TV advert) "Revel in the sounds of "I Just Caught You Saying I'd Duck You" by Stevie Plunder!"
Not hard to see, or rather hear, why Morecambe & Wise (Eric, especially, but Ernie, too) had such a field-day for 20 years' or more at Des's expense (though it was the making of him, too) ....
Morecambe and Wise were right about Des O'Connor's "singing".
I remember watching Andy Cameron's Hogmanay Show live on that night. I also remember the sunshine that the weather forecaster promised.
Seemed very early to closedown before 1am on New Years Eve
Oh dear Des ........what have you done lol
TV was of another age then.
That Stevie cover is just a hoot.

You sure it isn't des o Connor?
The date given (New Years Eve 1984) is correct.
Des sounds dreadful - but I love the fact they used to play music over the listings.

Oh my goodness... Stevie Wonder should slap him.
Lol
Shouldn't the Gay Gordon's be wearing leather chaps and a jockstrap?
Des sounded as though he was being forced to sing despite committing a dreadful act, like the brutal butchering of this great song
