We love this piece of retro nuttiness from Shirley Bassey. She sings! She dances! She kisses horses on the mouth!

Back in 1982, Bassey made a promo video for the Tourist Board, and here’s the result.

Check out the cameos by Kermit the Frog, Frank Bruno and Michael Caine. Can you spot long-lost London landmarks Concorde and Cats? And isn’t it weird seeing a vid of London without the Eye, the Gherkin and Canary Wharf?

Bonus Friday points for spotting one London show that spans the decades…
