Camp Classics?

[machineboy]

I'm trying to put a set together of some Camp Disco Classics; mainly fast stuff in the vain of:
Machine - There be for the Grace of God or
Donna Summer & Barbera Streisand - No More Tears (Enough is Enough)

can anyone help me out with some good suggestions, doesn't matter if they're rare or chart hits, once they make you want to dance like a ladie!


thanks

Machine? Camp? I don't think so.You've got me :-? What exactly are you looking for?

[machineboy]

I'm looking for stuff that's kinda camp or gay orientated, but not Gloria Gaynor I will survive kinda camp...

If that makes any sense :oops:

[K-Bee]

Machineboy,
If you're gonna refer to disco as being camp in general you're definetely in the wrong place!

Thanks Nicky. I see I wasn't the only one to take exception to There But For The Grace being called camp.
Hey K-Bee, I see where you're coming from. I just reread the original post and now I have a question. Machineboy, as a point of reference can you name me a song that makes you dance like a man? :o

[QUINNY]

Wasn't the Machine record indirectly about Gay rights (as well as discrimination in general)?
I remember NickNack referring to it in a previous post as a bit of an anthem 'cos of the line "no Blacks, no Jews and no Gays" saying it hit a chord 'cos he scored 2 out of 3. Rightly or wrongly I assumed he meant Gay anthem.

okay, I think I'm being taken up the wrong way here,
to me camp isn't really an insult, I'm guessing you guys are in America and maybe over there camp may have a stronger meaning but over here (Ireland to be exact) camp doesn't mean you dress up in your mums dress every weekend, it just implies things that are a bit less serious / more fun

sorry if everyone things I'm saying they're gay for listening to disco, all I wanted was some help finding songs that I could play at a Gay friends party without them thinking I was trying to insult them... I should have said I was looking for some Hi-NRG disco a la Paradise Garage or something but unfortunately I don't really know too much about disco and didn't want to come across as pretending I was "Jonny - I used to hang out in the Loft" and I didn't want to say Gay Anthemns cause I was afraid everyone would think I meant "It's Raining Men" or "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme"

QUINNY was right the reason I called Machine camp is because it's a huge gay anthemn over here because of the lines "Let's find a place they say, somewhere far away
With no blacks, no Jews and no gays"

again sorry for any insult, I'll keep my mouth shut in future

[markydefad]

Jeez, I'm confused. :o :o :o

First it was "Camp Classics"....

Then it's NOT "Camp Classics"...

Just music that Gays can dance to....DUH????

How about just playing GOOD MUSIC????

They can dance to that.

[machineboy]

no I still want camp, but a European version of Camp...

Ooer you saucy beast; I think you know all there is to know about camp! :-?

Hey Mixmachine. I don't think we were insulted, just confused as to what you want or meant. By the way feel free to say what you want, at least at me anyways. I'm used to hearing insults :lol:
I'm straight and African-American and I and my straight butch buddies never picked up anything particulary gay about Machine's song. It just happened to be a song that appealed to a lot of people here in the states :)
