    Cheesy gay club cult classic?

    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)

    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: )
