I can't help myself


Happy 90th birthday, Judith Chalmers - a nice orange person, for a change!

Woo-hoo! The weekend's almost here - and Hils, John-John and I are off tomorrow to Kensington for the exhibition Blitz: the club that shaped the 80s, so I need to dig out my pointy-toed boots and sparkles...

Meanwhile , here's a jolly (and appropriately-titled) choon to help start the party - Thank Disco It's Friday!

Have a great weekend, dear reader!

But I can't help myself



Slowly, it nears...

The weekend is almost upon us, and I am counting down the hours - particularly as I went to the swanky launch of a new exhibition about the legendary mega-nightclub and den of debauchery Trade last night (more about that in due course, no doubt) and I am now suffering the consequences of rather too much complimentary wine.

Pre-dating "mega-nightclub all-nighters" by a few decades, but definitely in the spirit of Mr Laurence Malice and his crazy clientèle, here's a celebratory choon to start the party - Thank Disco It's Friday!

[I'm wearing my bat-wing jump-suit as we speak.]


I don't wanna be a freak
But I can't help myself
I don't wanna be a freak
But I can't help myself

I don't wanna be a freak
But I can't help myself
I don't wanna be a freak
But I can't help myself

When I hear those percussions
It gets me into the beat
I feel my body grooving
Just the music and me

I don't wanna be a freak
But I can't help myself
I don't wanna be a freak
But I can't help myself

I don't wanna be a freak
But I can't help myself
I don't wanna be a freak
But I can't help myself

My emotions just run free
When the sounds synthesize me
The pop of the bass starts
From the bottom of my heart

Kick drums loud and clear
Pumping rhythms in my ear
(Just a music) love affair

Slide your fingers down the strings
Guitar makes me do my thing
(Just a music) love affair

I don't wanna be a freak
But I can't help myself
I don't wanna be a freak
But I can't help myself

I don't wanna be a freak
But I can't help myself
I don't wanna be a freak
But I can't help myself

Freaking makes my body move
Freaking makes my body move

Freaking makes my body move
Freaking makes my body move

Freaking makes my body move

Just a lover (A dancing music lover
And I'm getting on)


Have a good one, folks!
