Madam Arcati has just found this faboo little gem of a megamix featuring our Great Earth Mother Divine:
Of course, revisiting this kind of music always sets me off on a Hi-NRG kick - and so here are few other gems from the heady gay music era of the 1980s. First up the brilliant Lime, with a video evidently filmed in November somewhere in Norfolk:
Next, a pair of "uber-butch" queens, Patrick Cowley...
...and and Paul Parker:
And, finally, winning the award for possibly the worst mime by "badly made up trannies" ever, here's the superb Flirts!
Whew...
I don't know disco as well as you. I thought the flirts were repeatedly whispering “bat shit.” As for Paul Parker, that's a boring song. But I could watch him sing it a few more times (with the sound off).
ReplyDeleteLordy, Mitch - you've taken a time machine back fifteen years! Diction wasn't The Flirts's greatest talent, but their song is a classic, if a bit "bat-shit".
DeleteI agree on both counts where Mr Parker is concerned; his trousers were far more talented than he was, but his look as much as his music made him a club fave in the "Clone" era. Surprisingly, given the perils that went along with all that in the 80s, he's still with us (unlike Patrick Cowley). Jx
