Thanks very much Donald and Bryan! I'm not sure what's funnier - penguins singing about skiing or a leather biker and a polisman singing about a Christian club!

The guys who formed the Village People and wrote most of their songs were french, so there's bound to be a 'serious' cover out there somewhere. My money was on Claude Francois of 'My Way' fame, but the search continues...

If you have the French TV channel TV5, watch it on a Saturday evening sometime when you'll usually find some French variety show, quite like the ones we used to have in the 70s and 80s.

Most of the acts look as if they're from the 70s and 80s too...long hair on balding heads, flowery shirts and beer bellies. I flicked over one evening to see The Village People being being hailed almost like Gods...there was an interview but some bloke (perhaps the one Kirsty refers to) answered all the questions while the rest of them just looked daft. Don't think they performed...all a bit odd!

Totally agree Julie. I lived in France for a year so I know how bad the TV is. Sadly Claude Francoise died when he tried to change a lightbulb whilst having a bath, but then I think that's a theme for another night!!!

As far as surreal moments go......instead of enjoying Leonard Cohen as I could not get a child minder I am reading posts about the Village people in French......and trying to remember not to cahnge the lightbulb from the bath tonight and also trying not too much to worry about the beer belly!

Ah well......

Hey what a refreshing show Get It On is, love it love it love it! I keep thinking of themes and have offered a few to the show, I am a 1960`s child and my fave. music is from the 1970`s (from 1975 onwards) and just about all of the eighties. Does anybody remember going to Tiffany`s at the top of Sauchiehall Street, then it turned into Locarnos? Saw The Beat there twice in 1980 and 1981, superb!! Also saw The Cure at The Pavillion in late 1981, A Forest, Primary, just awsome....
