Songs the Battersbys annoyed their neighbours with – The showplan!
Rita's Kabin, it becomes the Battersbys sisters first port of call when they descend on the street as it contains fags!
Status Quo – Don’t Waste My Time
Les loves the 70s rock music and disco, and Status Quo are his favourites from his youth, soon everyone living anywhere near him and his Battersbys clan are going to realise that as well.
911 – Bodyshakin’
Playing loudly as neighbours such as Emily Bishop come round to welcome the family to the street.
MN8 – Tuff Act To Follow
Leanne & Toyah are in the back yard sunning themselves blasting music outside when Percy has had enough and dares to intervene, he is then branded as a perv and a peeping tom because to confront the teenage Battersbys over the music he first has to look at them over the back wall.
Livin’ Joy – Dreamer – Leanne & Toyah come in to the corner shop blaring this out on a ghetto blaster, it is their soundtrack and any other customers as they ask for 20 fags underage, Toyah is refused but Leanne tells Maureen that she is old enough and she can be served.
JX – There’s Nothing I Won’t Do
Fresh out the shop the Battersbys hang out on a wall and enjoy their corner shop obtained smokes, ghetto blaster is facing streetward and Percy comes a cropper with the duo as he tries to take charge of the situation, having failed to turn the Battersby ghetto blaster cum street speaker off, Toyah launches a counter offensive on the library book he is carrying and it lands on the street just in time to get driven into the cobbles by a passing van. He then reminds the youth of today, today being the summer of ’97 that he fought in the war.
Livin’ Joy – Where Can I Find Love
Next door neighbour Curly Watts is forced to endure this house anthem being blasted through his walls after he tries to get to sleep on a summer evening after the Battersbys had earlier told him they’d keep it down, pushed over the edge he takes direct action and bursts through their front door and charges up to the Battersby teenage bedroom and defenestrates the offending stereo which then obliterates all over Coronation Street’s cobbles, just as Les is winging his way back from the pub, Curly then finds himself in the wrong place where Les’s fists are concerned.
Ocean Colour Scene – 100 Mile High City
It’s a school morning in the Battersbys and this is their soundtrack, Les doesn’t reckon it’s worth Toyah even going to school because she is in his own words “thick”.
Amen UK – Passion
It’s not the right one but similar, played loudly in background during family argument over Leanne getting sacked by Baldwin from the underworld factory.
The Spice Girls – Who Do You Think You Are
Leanne finds gainful employment in Mike Baldwins’ factory and now she has a job, she can earn her cigarettes, the only problem being she brings her passion into work, her passion for 20 Marlboro Red and for The Spice Girls, mum Janice and her factory work pals at least get something a bit more entertaining to listen to for once than Mike Baldwin barking the latest orders, and threats of them having to go down the Job Centre if they can’t deliver on them.
Dodgy - Good Enough
clip used Percy - "introduce themselves, what twaddle"
Clock – Everybody (an honourable mention here as Nick elopes with Leanne to Gretna Green and get shimself emobroiled with the Battersby clan, he is well matched with Leanne as he shows signs of teenage rebellion about 2 years before his future girlfriend would even descend on Coronation Street. Grandma Ivy has left him a whole two up two down house after she dies, the only problem is his granddad Don Brennan still lives there, so to show him whos boss, Nick Tilsley shuts himself in and blasts this modern classic to at least half the street.
Status Quo – Rockin’ All Over The World
