Black Lace were a British pop group from Ossett in West Yorkshire. They first came into the public eye after being selected to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest 1979 in which they finished in 7th position with the song "Mary Ann". They went on to have success with a number of lightweight Europop party anthem style hits such as "Superman" "Agadoo" and "Do The Conga".
On March the 30th 2009 Dene Michael released a new mambo version of Agadoo being joined in the new Black Lace line up by a former Merseyside pub singer, Ian Robinson. Bruce Jones, who played Les Battersby in the UK TV soap opera "Coronation Street" , directed and played a cameo role in the video which was filmed in a single day. Comedian Roy "Chubby" Brown and another former Coronation Street actor, Kevin Kennedy, who played Curly Watts in the soap opera also made cameo appearances in the video, as did serveral members of the cast of the ITV sitcom "Benidorm". The video, filmed on location in Spain, features the present lineup of the band, devoid of the bleached blonde mullet style hairstyles which were a trademark of Black Lace in its 1980s incarnation, driving a red Alfa-Romeo GTV Spider along a promenade whilst being followed by a procession of mostly middle aged people performing the actions to the famous "Agadoo, push pineapple shake the tree" dance.
