But it&#8217;s fair to say that Don&#8217;t Forget Your Toothbrush, a dog&#8217;s dinner of a game show beamed live into British homes at primetime on Saturday nights in 1994 and 1995, was not his finest hour. <\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry if you&#8217;ve never heard of the show, you missed fuck all. Well&#8230; apart from one rather fine one-off collaboration between Mot\u00f6rhead&#8217;s much-missed iconic frontman <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/features\/this-is-lemmy-he-played-rock-n-roll\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Lemmy;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Lemmy<\/a> and Squeeze keyboardist-turned-TV host Jools Holland and his R &#8216;n&#8217; B Orchestra, broadcast in January 1995.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Given that Don&#8217;t Forget Your Toothbrush was aimed at a mainstream Saturday night audience, it&#8217;s no surprise that the show&#8217;s producers asked Lemmy to perform Mot\u00f6rhead&#8217;s best-known song, Ace Of Spades, the timeless title track of his band&#8217;s fourth record, rather than Orgasmatron, or say, Don&#8217;t Let Daddy Kiss Me, from 1993&#8217;s Bastards album.<\/p>\n<p>But if that predictable request irked Lemmy in any way, we imagine that his irritation was substantially off-set by the rare opportunity to perform Good Golly Miss Molly, the electrifying 1958 rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll classic made famous by one of his life-long heroes, Little Richard, with the backing of a big band.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Talking to Classic Rock in 2013 about Little Richard, Lemmy stated, \u201cHe was the greatest rock vocalist ever, there&#8217;s no doubt. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/features\/the-beatles-best-albums-buyers-guide-collection\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Beatles;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Beatles<\/a> are close, and the Everly Brothers, and all kinds of other people are close, but nobody comes within 50 yards of Little Richard. He just took a song and ran away with it, and he was so joyful. He was full of good meaning and good intentions. He was Little Richard, I guess, because nobody else was!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And you could apply that final sentence to Lemmy too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Here&#8217;s the man in fine voice on the show on January 28, 1995.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
