EROTIC DISCO AND LOVE IN C MINOR CONTINUED

[Jimmy-Michaels]

Well,
As for "Love In C Minor"..before i get to the subject on hand..This song may be under Cerrone's name and may include girls f-----
Cerrone, but this song is strictly pure Alec R Costandinos and was his first disco record.
This whole album is his. Thats a whole nother story(for those who dont know the musical war between Costandinos and Cerrone that was going on). Back to the subject on hand.. there is a censored version of this and im suprised no one has heard of it!! Until the internet I never heard this version. The version I used to hear in the retro club was all instrumental except for the "Love Me" chorus. No girls moaning or anything. From my reserch, this was released like this in the usa. The nasty version was released here for a short time on the LP editing out the talking intro. Then it got BANNED and repressed with the version I always knew. I do have a copy of the nasty usa pressing and the import as well. Funny, I dont own the instrumental one I always knew and cant find it. I dont wanna buy another copy of the LP in case its the same original pressing.
The other thing is that I never knew Dennis Parker was a porn star!! I forgot who mentioned it. Heres my list of erotic/nasty disco songs that I didnt see mentioned:

Symphony Of Love - Miquel Brown
I Feel Good - Ritchie Family
Sex - Berlin (late disco/new wave 1982)
Show Me Yours - Corruption
Kiss You All Over - Broadway (disco version of the Exile track..turns out like Love In C Minor by mid song)
Walk The Night - Skatt Bros.(This was mentioned i beleve..I think the track referrs to rape by the "rod benteath his coat..." line)
Do You Want The Real Thing - DC Larue
Carry On Turn Me On - Space(which is another track with the infamous "Supernature" tune..thats another subject..lol)

I could go on and on...

There is one track that I have on this old DJ LP which is a compilation of underground disco 12's that isnt disco, but punk and I dont know why its there but this song is outragous!!!! Its some extended version by Wally McDonald(the guy who did the 12 for "Follow Me" by Amanda Lear) Its called "Jet Boy Jet Girl" by Elton something???(dont have it in front of me). Its about a crossdressing homosexual I guess?? In the chorus one of the lines are "ooo huu huu huu....he gives me head". Has anyone heard of this and can anyone tell me what it is doing thrown in with disco???

The track is "Jet Boy, Jet Girl" by Canadian one-hit-wonder Elton Motello, from around 1978. It's actually a cover of a song that was originally in French, if I recall correctly. And the 12" version is a bit of a joke, since it's basically the regular album version played twice.

I'm pretty sure the track is still available on one or more Canadian compilation CDs. I have the 12" myself...

I have the Elton Motello "Jet Boy, Jet Girl" on a compilation double LP, I think is on the Importe label, but most tunes are New wave, anyways,I used to play it around '81 on my "Wave" sets for punkers that requested it every wave night, I always worry that somebody would complain, but nobody ever did.

[markydefad]

The "Jet Boy, Jet Girl" track was based on a French New Wave track from 1978 titled "Ca Plane Pour Moi" by Plastic Bertrand Band. This was real popular in the New Wave scene, as I remember. I never heard anyone play the Elton Motello cover in a club, but I have it on that Importe Double Album, others have mentioned.

Was Elton Motello's name a take on "Elvis Costello"; I know nothing about this artist.

Graham, I'm sure you know something....

Yo Marky!

Did you know that PLASTIC BETRAND was a BELGIAN, and not Frenchy! The song was French, but that is because half of the belgian populations speaks french, the other half dutch!
Well anyway, if you want to find more out about Plastic Bertrand just go to this link:
http://houbi.com/belpop/groups/plasticbertrand.htm
Also check out the link to Lou Deprijck! who had a disco band called LOU AND HOLLYWOOD BANANAS, but most importantly he was also half of that other disco band called: 2 MAN SOUND with the hits QUE TAL AMERICA and CHARLIE BROWN

Just for information!

nonkel 808,
spreading the Belgian Vibes!

I did not know that Plastic Bertrand was Belgian. Thanks for the info. Also, I never would have guessed that Chakachas ("Jungle Fever") were from Belgium also, but according to allmusic had a Spanish singer and a Latin drummer.

[nonkel808]

About those Chakakas; I already asked this question in the previous "erotic disco' topic, but got no reply

>Is it possible that the track 'Jungle Fever' by Chakakas was also recorded by a group called KINKINA? Or is this same song but with an other name for the artist?

I've got the track on a 80's hiphop/ breakbeat record and the groups called KINKINA!

Yes it was covered in the 80s. Believe it was on the Profile label.

My friend's dad was the guitarist doing the riffs on "Jungle Fever." He got paid next to nothing for it.

[Jimmy-Michaels]

Well,
As for that Elton Montello(i think the name is right), didnt know so many people knew it!
What is it doing on that double LP though? The only new wave on there is really 3 songs. The rest is all obscure disco (except for "Spin It" by Sunbelt, which is why i picked it up for 2 bucks to begin with..lol). How can you dance to that track? I can see slam dancing or whatever you called mashing back in the day(i still remember my sister making a comment on a sex pistols video from 77 saying it was "murder on television"lol). I am a fan of new wave/punk rock and i do like this Elton guy's song but, it aint disco.
Also, someone mentioned 2 Man Sound. I only have a few tracks by them. My most favorite is "Capitol Tropical".

[markydefad]

Jimmy,

"Jet Boy, Jet Girl" was from those transitional years of the early eighties when the music was changing from traditional Disco/R&B to New Waveish Dance Rock. The Dance/Disco charts of Billboard are fascinating for 1980, 1981, 1982, & 1983 as groups like The Cure, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Pretenders, B-52's, Thompson Twins,and Human League, etc. are charting songs alongside the more traditional Sylvester, Lime, Linda Clifford, Viola Wills, Shalamar and Voggue tracks.

Clubs were in a state of flux as crowds were divided as to whether the DJ should play the Traditional Disco or the new edgier Rock stuff. The DJ's tried to appease both sides (at least at the Troc) and I liked both genres, so I had no complaints. But many did.

Bobby V. talks about this in the book "Tribal Rites" about the SF Disco era.

Thus, the Elton Motello cut was probably included to give DJ's at the harder edged Rock clubs some new material. And, as I mentioned in another post, this song is really an older new wave/punk rocker by Plastic Bertrand that many people had already heard--but with new "Gay Boy" lyrics.

"Jet boy, jet girl...I'm gonna make and penetrate, I'm gonna make you be a girl...oo, oo, oo, ooo, he gives me head"

This was provacative material back in tha day--before Eminem and the rest of today's nasty boy rappers made these lyrics seem like Cole Porter.

I pulled out the "Prime Cuts 1: The Double Dance Album" and the liner notes say "Special thanks to all the disco DJs around the world who helped pick many of these songs out of the hundreds they review each year from the Disconet subscription service. "Prime Cuts 1" was produced by Disconet owner Mike Wilkinson.

[Jimmy-Michaels]

Because of the liner notes on the 'Prime Cuts" LP is why i was wondering what the hell?? That disco DJ's played that? I see on the LP where the lyrics are is says it came out in 77. I cant see how the hell to throw that in a mix(and ive done some pretty wierd ****). Anyway, maybe if you pitched it down mega slow it could fit but the vocals would sound sick(lol)

[markydefad]

The original song in French came out in 1977 (hence, the copyright date) and was played in Punk Clubs--not Discos, but this version was released in the early 1980's. Believe me, no traditional Disco in 1977 tried to mix "Ca Plane Pour Moi" with Voyage. This was a later Dance Rock/punky track that would mix with the likes of the B-52's.

(pulls out record to check)

Apparently it came out in 1979...

[markydefad]

Graham,

I stand corrected. I was just guessing Elton Motello came out in 1980 or thereafter.

I only have it on that Double LP and it says 1977 on the copyright date (obviously for the initial release of the French lyric version).

[markydefad]

Ok, here's the skinny on Elton Motello--I don't know why I didn't do the research first before I speculated. This is from Allmusic:
_____________________________________________

Before adopting the pseudonym Elton Motello, Alan Ward was a member of Bastard with future Damned guitarist Brian James. Thanks to connections made while touring Belgium with Bastard, Motello had the opportunity to work in the studio with Belgian new wave prankster Plastic Bertrand. Motello took the backing track to Bertrand's nonsense classic "Ca Plane Pour Moi," wrote new English lyrics about fellatio, and released the track as "Jet Boy Jet Girl" in early 1978. That song and others like "Teen Pimp" and "Artificial Incemination" [sic] appeared on Victim of Time in 1979, a collection of material Motello recorded from 1977 to 1978 backed by band members including Willie Change (bass), Jet Staxx (guitar), Tony Boast (guitar), and former Pretty Things/Pink Fairies drummer John "Twink" Alder. On 1980's Pop Art, Motello moved in a slightly more serious, if just as quirky-sounding, synth-pop direction. — Steve Huey
