Nov 18, 2008 - Ths is a quote from Eric during an interview he did earlier this year....... "We didn't have a name, and he'd (Jonathan King) had a weird dream the night before. There are many descriptions of what 10cc means--he's got this very vivid imagination, and he came up with the name 10cc. I said, "Yeah, why not? It's a short, clip name, easily memorable, so why not?" And that's how10cc was formed!"

Nov 18, 2008 - You sound like a great fan.
AnnieOakley53 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - I am; they were so innovative but still managed to encompass such great lyrics and melodies. Not to mention the fact that Eric was/is "sex on legs"!
xmanbob2 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - do you know the band personally?
AnnieOakley53 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Unortunately not, although Eric's new Strawberry South studio is just up the road from me, so one day, maybe I'm hoping to catch up with him!

Nov 18, 2008 - I read that 10cc was the average ejaculation for a man, this would have shot over the heads of their younger fans.

Nov 18, 2008 - I don't know about Eric being sexy but Lol sure was/is! This is fantastic to see. I was 10 at the time and remember this song but not this video. I love this group!

Nov 18, 2008 - Little known fact: to achieve the high-pitched voice, the lead singer was wearing underpants several sizes too too small.

Nov 18, 2008 - Well, what's stopping you from getting in communication with someone you've lovedfor a long time? My advice is go there and ask to see him.Let me know how it goes. AND do it by next week.This is an unreasonable request from me to you.
AnnieOakley53 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Eric is busy with this family, currenty renovating another property (hopefully finishing in Autumn) and then putting the final touches to his new solo project I doubt he'll have time for a Granny Groupie in his life. I'm in contact with his PA (a lovely lady called Gilly) and am happy to keep in touch with Eric by e-mail via his website.

Nov 18, 2008 - I am obsessed with this song. I don't know why, I play it over and over again. I was doing a little research and the BEAT is from the Beatles "Oh Darling" check it out. Did 10cc pirate a Beatles BEAT?

peeperdom Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - this was the first record i bought, and was a fan of 10cc and Sparks at the time, and liked the glitter Band and Sweet too. I was 12 years old. remember watching TOTP with my dad, thinking how cool Lol was. Those were the days..
iamthepig Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Yes, I know
fastlanephil2 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - I'm an old 10cc fan. I've really enjoyed these videos. I do a little composing with VIs and posting on probably the best music forum on the internet. So I can say with some small amount of musical authority that during that period there were two rock bands that I thought were just truly exceptional. They were 10cc and Roxy Music.

Nov 18, 2008 - Ive just remembered why I adored Lol Creme, one because I was a teenybopper and secondly because he was totally gorgeous!
Framptonfixation Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Even though my devotion is to another (see username!!) I have to agree that Lol is lovely (and yes, I am stuck in a 1970's timewarp!!)

Nov 18, 2008 - yeah,.. nice track, nice memories too from the seventies.

Nov 18, 2008 - I fell in love with a girl called Donna when I was at school and this was in the charts . I adored her but she didn't feel the same about me ;-( I saw her a few years later working on a supermarket checkout till and she looked terrible which made my day in many ways ;-) We didn't even speak .

Nov 18, 2008 - this happened to me but she worked in kfc and i passed a note that said 'karma". it was cruel but she was cruel first.life is fair.
xmanbob2 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - I LOVE DONNA. I was 23 in 1973 and I was a huge 10cc fan. BTW, do you know where they came up with the name 10cc?
