Our Patron Saint of Outliving the Apocalypse Cher has been in overdrive lately, doing the rounds - even the Royal Variety Performance! - in an effort to promote her new Xmas album. From it, this (admittedly catchy) choon:
Nah. Bah Humbug.
As we sigh the blessed sigh of relief at the prospect of the next twelve ten days away from the tedium of work, let us instead hark back to a far more relatable, camp, kitschy Italian-Spanish-tinged number of hers to get our party started [our holiday in Benalmadena is only eight weeks away, after all!] - and ¡Gracias discoteca es viernes!
The Festering Season may be whooping up to a frenzy as the countdown to the madness begins - but at least with the Solstice today, Spring is in view!
Have a good one, dear reader, and (ahem!) enjoy the crowds at the tills!
Cher just keeps getting better.
ReplyDeleteAnd younger. Jx
DeleteBefore I played the video I thought to myself I wonder if she will be abusing the vocoder and lo and behold she is. Yes, she maintains a youthful appearance but her movements are slowing, dragging that old carcass around on stage is a real effort for her now, I suppose it's only natural given her age, saying that, it was a much better performance than Mariah Carey's recent lacklustre presentation and still wearing those 100 denier tights in tan, the sort drag queens use to hide their hairy legs, though in Mariah's case, her cellulite.
ReplyDeleteEveryone's getting so old. Cher is nearly 78 - the same generation as Bette Midler, Liza and Goldie Hawn - and still performs the likes of Taylor Swift off the stage! Mariah Carey's always been a talentless cow. Jx
DeleteChrist! I'm older than Cher? Oh, say it isn't so! (But it is so...)
ReplyDeleteBlimey! Jx
DeleteCher can surround herself with as many safety gays as the stage will hold, but we still see she's standing stock still, probably worrying if she's going to break a hip.
ReplyDeleteMuch like Marlene Dietrich before her, she's probably been sewn into a reinforced outfit to keep her upright... Jx
DeleteCher rules.
ReplyDeleteMariah drools.
Ha! Love it - we should get t-shirts made. Jx
DeleteTwelve days away from work? I'm off Sunday and Monday. Twelve days off would be a dream come true.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Ah. You've drawn my attention to a "triumph of hope over reality" in my post. I am actually only off for ten days... Sob. Jx
DeleteViva Cher !
ReplyDeletenot every 78 yea old would look good in a Basque.
It's when the thing's unlaced you need to look out, as everything hits the floor! Jx
