My team needs help with fancy dress ideas!

[Scabutz]

Go as Nazis. That always goes down well at parties and never goes wrong.

[CS Garth]

The Beach Boys is a pretty easy one with Hawaiian shirts.

Goldie Looking Chain if you want to indulge a penchant for chav tat and traxedos

[WinkleHoff]

Go as a massive box of matches. "firestarter". Could get attach some pyros to yourself as a showpiece when people least expect it.

[condor]

Wear jeans and T-shirts, stuff straw everywhere you can...
Go as scarecrows and be the Wurzels

Some good suggestions guys, but remember this is a work do, so it's kind of inappropriate to dress as paedophiles and hookers... also it doesn't fit into the theme of Songs/artists.

Showaddywaddy and Teddy Buoys wasn't a bad shout, a bit plain costume-wise though. Were trying to win the competition, not come runner up!

So we') re still looking for more ideas. It doesn't have to be a group, it could be a song.

So what's wrong with my Shaggy/ Boney M/ Brown Girl in the Ring suggestions?

Thanks for that. Do you work for the Diplomatic Service?

I thought Teddy Buoys was inspired btw.

Pair up, glue your heads together, dress in 60's suits and go as the Siamese Beatles.

All go dressed as different Queens carrying weapons - Killer Queen by Queen.

Was going to be my suggestion as well.

Related but more niche - dress as neanderthals but put on some crowns and be Queens of the Stone Age?

[Snails]

As it is a sailing event...

Village People - In the Navy
Fontella Bass - Rescue Me.
Beatles - Yellow Submarine
Madness - Night Boat to Cairo

[sinbaddio]

Not sure how you'd do it, but dress as oars - team name 'Bunch of Oars'. Song related 'Row, row, row your boat'......
