Cheesy gay club cult classic?

[phrankie]

Me again...

I don't know about the rest of you, but in my clubbing days there was always a cheesy/novelty pop track (usually a 7")that the DJ would stick on towards the end of the night, and so by default became a bit of a cult classic...some examples spring to mind for me...

"Let It Swing" by Bobbysocks
"The Chosen Few" and "Wanted" by The Dooleys
"I'm In The Mood For Dancing" by The Nolans

etc, etc....

Any of you have examples, or was it just a Birmingham thing, lol? :D

Love Unlimited - It May Be Winter Outside
Nina Simone - My baby Just Cares For Me (Suddenly that one charted again in the 80s)

Good grief, those two are too cool to be cheesy! lol :D

My old local gay club in Stoke used to play 'Round The Old Camp Fire' by Foo Foo Lamarr at the end of the night & the bouncer Cynthia (a man!) did a little dance to it & everyone would join in (is it any wonder I moved to manchester? :-? )

Would that be The Excalibur by any chance?

Yes that's the one Bolly. It had different names over the years but it was best when it was the excalibur & owned by Bob & Ray. They used Roy Stanier as DJ & he was brilliant IMO.

I only went the once - we used to stick a pin in a map on a saturday night and find the nearest gay club. Ended up in Bristol on night!

I used to be like that; in the late 80s & early 90s I'd travel miles to different clubs but these days I don't even go down the road to Manchester, let alone anywhere else! (it's either my age or just that clubs are useless these days! :lol: )

It's definitely the clubs - I don't go into 'Disneyland Manchester' unless forced

I always used to laugh at Silk n Steel - Don't Talk To Strangers the line 'Don't ever fool around and get caught with your knickers down...' used to crease me

[SandraDee]

That's really spooky 'cos I've just been listening to that Silk & Steel track tonight. Have we entered the twilight zone? :-?

trippy very trippy - we could be long lost twins - i guess we'll find out when we meet up later in the week

[SandraDee]

Seperated at birth!? :-? When we meet it'll be just like 'Surprise,Surprise' where those long-lost relatives meet for the 1st time in years. Neil can be Cilla.(now that will be a shock to him!) :o

the other reason is you could be the guy who robbed my entire collection out of my car in bradford in 1989.... lol
