Not so macho men

When I worked in a record store, I came across many gems in the $1 used vinyl bin.
When I came across this, I knew I had to take it home, if just for the cover alone...


Apparently in 1981, The Village People hung up their cowboy and cop uniforms, and morphed into glam gigolos from outer space with strangely placed beauty marks. A surprisingly good look!

And even more surprisingly, the album has some killer songs! You won't see your grandma dancing to any of these tracks at an upcoming wedding...unless you read this and are getting married and want to play something way more awesome than the YMCA!

'Food Fight' is the best track, a crazy punk song with an amazingly catchy keyboard riff that sounds like like Geza X and Weird Al rocking out.




Before this album, the only good moment of the Village People's career was this...

So throw down a dollar and find this album at a garage sale near you!
