On June 5, 1998, Super Furry Animals performed "Ice Hockey Hair" on Top Of The Pops, a key showcase for music in the UK. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their album "Radiator," which came out in 1997. By this time, the band had begun to solidify their reputation for blending genres and innovative musical styles, particularly with their use of eclectic sounds and Welsh lyrics. "Ice Hockey Hair" itself is notable for its catchy hooks and whimsical lyrics, reflective of the band's unique approach to songwriting. This period marked a peak in their artistic experimentation, as the band was gaining critical acclaim and a growing fanbase, highlighted by their dynamic performance presence in television appearances. The exposure from Top Of The Pops undoubtedly contributed to the band's popularity during the late '90s.
