[JonathanRobinson]

[TheVickyLowry]

The song cracks me up! Amazing!

[Ranlon]

Most of the times is was there is was kinda quiet, like the last shot of this clip. Made you wonder where everybody was.I looked everywhere, Construction bar, the dunes, the darkrooms. Well turns out they're all partying in Berlin now. Feels a bit run down and pathetic down there. like having a sixties seventies and eighties flashback all in one, but then without the men.Lots of brittish sissies and trannies there though, but that's not what I came for. Feels like Brighton on a very sunny day.

[robertofelilopez]

I visit Playa Del Inglis a few times a year and this video and songs has got it in one.

I was actually crying, thank you so much for posting it, BRILLIANT, I am still singing

the song to myself.

[LorraineBowenTV]

@edenonair

Go Go Go!

[Sparkle150578]

Yes, I think you do have to have been there to appreciate this. I hated the place when I first got there but suddenly 'got it' about four days before the end of my holiday. Can't wait to go back! (Anyone else notice that in most of the bars, there's canvas pinned to the ceiling to prevent the decomposing concrete falling on people's heads?!)

[garrychelsea]

@Sparkle150578 thats beacuse the idiots that built it used salt water to mix the cememnt, not a good idea when the sun shines

[MisterBlue55]

Thank you for apologising, gutlover22uk. It doesn't surprise me that Lorraine accepted your apology. She is so gracious, which is one of the reasons why us fans love her so much.

[gutlover33uk]

i have now apologised to Lorraine, she has accepted my apology...

[MisterBlue55]

gutlover33uk, fortunately Lorraine has enough fans not to have to worry about your vile comments. Those of us who have not had a sense of humour bypass can see fun in this song. You must admit Lorraine has got it absolutely right when she sings about the Yumbo Centre. Most of us also take no exception in being called gays collectively. That's what we arfe for god's sake. Get your head from out of your dish.

[jobete1964]

@gutlover33uk

Got to say I'm gay and i think it's funny, Im not offended in any way. The tune is a bit on the tacky side, just like the rest of the Yumbo centre really.

I think it.s good that we have this forum so that unimportant Queens ,just like meself can stand on our big pink soapbox and winge on endlessly about subjects so unimportant that they will fade away into the bowels of time un-noticed, hope nobody's offended by my outburst of free speech

[laptopowiec78]

shes lokks like Alan Carr

[supermario79]

great video, ace place love it there!

[dollyknockers]

Lorraine you got it spot on! Everything is tacky in the Yumbo - and that's why we love it! We have been going there for the last 17 years and I can't wait to go again and listen to this track on my mp3 player as I walk around. Thank you, Hugs! Dolly

[tallboyandy]
