Am I alone in thinking that the vocals on DANCE YOURSELF DIZZY and MY BABY'S BABY were that of a male singer ???


Until now ...... that's what I had always thought:

Am I alone .......period !!!??:icon_razz:
:icon_rolleyes::icon_rolleyes::icon_rolleyes:


anyway I still think its a guy actually singing !! :icon_razz:

And this, I think is the greatest attitude in a drummer I've ever witnessed !!! Besides unabashedly wearing just those skimpy track shorts and a million dollar smile :icon_cool::icon_cool::icon_cool::icon_cool: ......
..... I love the way he can barely calm down enough to sit down ... and plays mostly standing up over the drums .

Do you get the impression that here's a guy who went thru life thouroughly enjoying it ... !!!!

I love people like that. Most people in music are too concerned with seeming cool.

Ellie surely doesn't sound like a guy, her voice is awesome.

I never doubted the sex of the singer in Liquid Gold. But there have been some songs with lead singers that sounded androgynous (not exactly disco-related):





And this one might sound odd, but I swear, for the longest time I didn't know if it was a man or deep voiced woman singing. And when I heard the first name, I wasn't sure if it was Mel or Nell (as in 'Gimme A Break' Nell):

Ellie Hope, the lead singer for Liquid Gold, went on to record a couple solo releases. The biggest on this continent being "Lucky", in 1983. Although still being a Seamel Production, it was Ellie singing... It's the same voice... And she's very much a woman.

And she's very much a woman.

I know the facts is the facts .... but I've heard it a certain way --- way too many times BITD and since --- to change the sexes in my head now .......

The orignal video post is gone ... but here it is from someone else ... albeit of lesser quality ...

......... still fun though !! :icon_biggrin: :icon_biggrin:





This song from 1982 seems like it should have done better :
