Okay-I've had enough crap for one week. How about some fun, campy dance songs? And if it's fun and camp you want, how about Village People and Pet Shop Boys in one?
The Village People released the single off the album of the same title, 'Go West', in 1979. However, it did not enjoy the same success their previous singles 'YMCA', and the big single from the 'Go West' album, 'In The Navy'.
The Pet Shop Boys enjoyed much more success with the song, releasing it in 1993 off the album 'Very'. It managed to reach number 2 on the UK Singles chart, as well as in Austria, France, and Sweden, while it reached number 1 in Germany, but only 10 in Australia.
The music video was honoured with a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video in 1995, but lost out to the old and decrepit Rolling Stones.
