Everyone wants the biker. Or the Indian. No one ever thinks of the cowboy. Except me. He was *real* sweet...... ::*exits, humming "Can't Stop the Music"*::

dam virtual guess i'm gonna have to pull out those old dusty cassettes, the albums are long gone, looking forward to my biker, but yea the cowboy was sweet, the construction guy kind of had it going on too :) Oh hell at the time I would have taken anyone of them

I'm almost (but not quite) embarrassed to admit that I actually own Can't Stop the Music on ViewMaster reels. It's one of the prizes of my collection, right up there with the three-reels for the coronation of Elizabeth. And if that wasn't bad enough, I've transfered all of my VP albums onto CD. Oh my God, what have I become??? ::exits, hummning "Three o'Clock in the Morning"::

Nothing to be embrassed about , hell I liked "Thanks God it's Friday"...for anyone who doesn't know it was a Donna Summer movie with quite a few famous(now) people in it

Not embarrassed to admit it, I own every album by them, both regional and imports (they had some great releases in Japan) and the movie on multiple formats. Felipe was great! Unfortunatly I met him a few years ago in NY and he was (at the time) running a catering service in NJ and, umm, loked a lot like he had sampled everything, repeatedly. /sigh JDexter

LOL. Now there's an image I can live without on a Tuesday morning..... :)

YOu know, while we are on this subject, do you guys remember their costumes from the 'Milk Shake' commercial in the movie? I would kill to be able to recreate those costumes. The silver and white was a great combination on all of them, but I really was a huge fan of Felipe's long silver/white headdress and his boots. I wonder if I can recreate at least the style of the clothing from that commercial. JDexter

YOu know, while we are on this subject, do you guys remember their costumes from the 'Milk Shake' commercial in the movie? Do I remember, he asks..... LOL. You bet I do! Sigh. They couldn't sing their way out of a pay phone, but damn they were hot... even in those ridiculous outfits on the cover of "Renaissance". At the risk of dating myself, I was actually in the Ice House when they shot the finale sequence (oh, my wayward youth -- I must have been about 19 or 20 at the time), and the funniest thing about it was Nancy Walker (God knows why they chose her as the director) running around screaming "No fags in the first six rows! I don't want to see any fags in the first six rows!"... which was kinda tough, since the whole place was swarming with them (C'mon, it was San Francisco; what did they expect?). So if you look at the film, notice that in the audience shots, it's pretty het for the first little while, then it's like wall to wall guys. My now-departed mate Steve and I were about six rows from the back -- we were there all day, and let me tell you: by the time they finished, I don't think anyone in the room wasn't stoned on grass or high on poppers, including dear Nancy. The place reeked. What an insane, insane day... ::exits, humming "Food Fight"::

ROFL! OK, now we gotta have ALL the VP together. You're making more work for yourself!

And let's not forget Saturday Night Live's immortal tribute to the VP, "Bend Over, Chuck Berry" (i.e., disco's answer to CB's "Roll Over, Beethoven" set loosely to the music of "Macho Man"). Can't remember which cast member played who, but I suspect Paul Shaffer wrote it. Remember, PS wrote "It's Raining Men."

Hey, Paul's been playing on our team for a long time... Sigh. "Raining Men" -- still the best damn dance song out there. Gads, after this, maybe it's time to start working on scenes from Saturday Night Fever? Or, Heaven forbid, Car Wash? (And tell me you didn't immediately hear that playing in your head... LOL)

Damn, VirtualSite, that was just... evil. Dang carwash gonna play in my head all day, now.

Ohgawd, does this mean I have to dust off my VHS copy of "Car Wash" and watch it again? Please, say it ain't so!

No, ma'am, worse than that... The Betamax tape..... Heh heh heh.....

Hi Folks! Wonderful stories, all. And I get to relive them vicariously for y'all every weekend, when I become a disk jockey for a few hours on Saturday nights. I get requests for Gloria Gaynor, Cameo, Parliament/Funkadelic, EWF, Barry White, Wild Cherry, the Ohio Players, and of course VP. Nice work, Virtual. But wasn't it the Police Officer and the Military Guy with the goatees, rather than the Cowboy? I thought he just had a mustache. Peter (Dr Zik)

Hey, bud, you have your fantasies about the Village People and I'll have mine, got it??? LOL -- it's called "artistic interpretation". Besides, further to the point, David Hodo (the construction worker) was a blond who was almost hairless. I'm way off the mark if we want reality TV here.

Ah...does anyone have an eight track handy? All my Disco and VP are eight tracks......now I will have to go garage sale hopping to find one and relive the 70's.
