Channel surfing last night my wife and I came upon a PBS pledge drive show, featuring past "greats" of the disco era.

One of the performers was the lead singer of The Weather Girls, and she did "It's Raining Men", of course. I gotta say, not only was I into it, but I actually got chills. That woman has one helluva voice! Reminds me a lot of Mavis Staples.

Now... mock me at will.

Yeah, Todd, Martha Wash was the "big voice" on many dance hits of the late 80's, even though they had hot girls lip-synching in the videos.

Nobody can tell me Paul Schaeffers' not a songwriting legend. Don Kirschner told me.

Paul Schaeffer wrote that song?
What else did he write?

I'd be worried too, if I weren't so mind-bendingly turned on by women.

I don't know. I'll blame my medication. Yeah! that's it! Don't mock me; I have MS. You just can't stand the imfirm, can you? You cruel, heartless fuck!

:pimp:

It's a great song, but you won't catch me dancing to it in public.

I really prefer Erasure. It turns my normal white guy living room into a gay disco.

Crappy hidden camera show that films people singing to songs in cars. Designed to set them up for embarrassment. It's an embarrassment that's it's on after The Best Week Ever, which is much more worthy.
