I've been a fan of Divine and John Water's flicks for as long as i can remember.
Shit like this is part of the reason why.
I've had this record for a long long time. I'm not sure, but I think i stole it from my mother like a million years ago. (Hi Mom!)
Either way, it was fun to listen to again because i hadn't spun it since i can't remember when.
I skipped the B-side because it's just kind of a shitty version of 'The name game' (banana-fana-fo-fana fee-fi-fo-fana-- etc...) Not very exciting, and goes on way too long.
The title track however, is a great bit of early-80s low-budget rock and roll, sung only the way Divine could sing it. I had forgotten how awesome this one was.
Enjoy.

You must have the coolest mom ever!
Yeah- She's a keeper.
Hey, I'm the guy from Michigan who lives in France. I lived in NYC for 25 years and played in some great and terrible bands....
I played in a band called Mr. Bubble in the early 80's and a high point of my life was meeting Divine at the Pyramid Lounge. Divine was in "street clothes" but obviously having too much fun.
She came on stage and autographed my chest...I still haven't washed!
Hey, really great stuff here!
Divine ... and I thought only me and "Blank" Reg (on MaxHeadroom)loved this stuff anymore. Thanks,
