The universe does work in mysterious ways. Glitter got caught originally when he took his computer in for repair. The technician found the incriminating evidence on his hard drive. At that time however I don't think he'd actually physically molested anyone. He was just spankin' his monkey to it. But of course just having that stuff in your possession is not right either and that's why he was convicted. But rather than seek treatment, he went Viet Nam and that's where he followed through. Sad.
God.....why did he have to be sexually attracted to children? This song is incredible, but most people will deny that solely based on his personal life. Damn shame.
His music was great! The "Glitter Band' made him too.Saw him in concert in Australia, I idolised him and the band, so hate Gary himself now ...... Pity he is a pedophile......
Precursor to Pere Ubu and David Thomas, and when did anyone think of Gary as anything other than a deviant? Apply the theory of Linkage to any music and you end up confused as to your appreciation of the music. In this case maybe the most influential music of the 1970's. Still nothing quite like it.
Despite what he became, its what he once was that we should remember him by. He was one of the leaders of the glam rock days and made some massive tunes. Plus had a great stage presence.
Now we know where gene simmons got the idea of the shoulderpads on his costume! haha and yes there are lyrics to this song pmk , you are thinking of rock' n roll part 2 which was mostly instrumental.
Yep we all know about his habits. seemingly Michael Jackson had similar and everyone absolutely loves him now he's dead. funny old world. great song though.
@angas10 Why; If I may ask, why do you say he is "a dirty old bastard" ? Something I should know that everybody does and am not aware of ? Did he do some wrong or bad or evil ? Or is it you find his "looks" style of dressing etc as "dirty" ? Really I wonder what it is. And please, I am not being cynical or nothing the kind I am just curious to know I was 13 years old when that came out and I thought it was music oh the devil (but I liked it) even though it was chilling my spine.Thanks
Despite this man's personal reputation he did put out a lot of great music. Music people still listen to today and use in movies and play on the radio.
Wow I never knew there was lyrics to this song. I always remember the instumental version part 2 of Rock and Roll since the NBA plays this song at the 4th quarter during Timeouts. But the singing version is cool.
I didn't even know this song had any lyrics besides "HEY-- GO [sports mascot]!!!" But this is a badass video. I honestly don't care what Gary did, I can still enjoy his music. He's serving time for his crimes and that's enough for me. If I refused to listen to everyone whose private sexual life I disagreed with, well shit... Good-bye Queen, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Elton John... A lot of the greats really.
a great song and singer, you dont get many dancable songs these days like this one, shame about his downfall, otherwise i am sure he would still would of had a big following it is a pity for himself and his fans.
Classic record, a great rock song to get people dancing at a 70s disco, it a pity about gary himself, such a great artist for a man who has let himself down as well as his fans.

@mikew55555 Good for you , the energy that i remember was massive, and back then we dident know about his perversions, so lets enjoy what we remember, and play it loud.
