NO OFFENSE TO STRAIGHT PEOPLE BUT WHEN IM AROUND STRAIGHT PEOPLE I FIND THEM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BORING. ITS THE GAYS THAT TEACH STRAIGHTS HOW TO LET LOOSE HAVE FUN AND NOT CARE SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT OTHER THINK AND GET OVER THE UPTIGHT JUDGMENTAL ATTITUDE
I don't care what anyone says about Divine,in a negative aspect that is.I would give this vid so many likes if I could.He in the role of Divine was a hero for the gay community.It's sad how many gays don't know that drag queens were one of the first to raise awareness.And all those colours-how can u not feel alive.If you are disgusted by this,then you're no better than a doggy,because all they see is black and white.Love that rainbow
@JanIsBoy5 Very well said, about the Ever Beloved Divine. I am a straight, boring married gal these days but I still remember the 80's when she & all my gay friends taught me how to truly love & be loved. How to be a better person than many I had lived & grown up with. Acceptance,Tolerance, Equality & Love- THE 4 UNBREAKABLE RULES TO BEING TRULY HUMAN {HUMANE} ♥♫♥♫♥ Love That Rainbow Love that ♥♫♥♫♥
Fab 80's , on the baby elephant was at the London Hippodrome not the Astoria, I've even tried on some of those dresses!!! What a time that was? Loved every minute of it.. Xxx
Great Video. Hello exoticsensation2007, I thank you kindly for this great video. DIVINE's Music Rocks At All Times. THE MAYAN GODS LIKE DIVINE'S MUSIC. His music will never die, it will liver forever. Greetings from LA, CA. USA :O)
Wow; memories; I saw this guy in Bunters in Liverpool on 7th July 1984(I think). We actually got to meet him backstage too. He had a huge buffet laid on for guests, and me and my friend sat on his knees and got our photo taken with him. Great stuff!! He was fab, a real funny and warm person:)
WOW! I can't believe how many people THINK Divine is a girl? To frak'n funny! I grew up in the disco's in Vancouver, where I first heard this artist and I'm still a fan. I've read the book "My Son, Divine" which is a remarkable history and insight about who Harris Glenn Milstead really was. The book was written by his mother Francis Milstead. John Waters gave Glenn the name Divine and thus was born, an icon.
This isn't too surprising - both tracks were produced by the legendary Stock/Aitken/Waterman team and you are quite right - when Pete Burns from Dead or Alive heard this in 1984, he contacted S/A/W right away to have them produce their next album, Youthquake and the rest is, as they say, history
@XTCEVERLASTING However, Divine had released this song first. Pete Burns, the lead singer of Dead Or Alive who also wrote the majority of the band's songs, had heard it on the radio and said, "That's the sound I want for You Spin Me Round." So he contacted Stock, Aitken & Waterman and remixed the band's demo of You Spin Me Round to create the song that it is today.
@ColtenDoesMakeupTV SAW wanted to change the original format of the demo completely. pete and his manager wanted to just add the "glitter" to an already perfect song. it just Became a nightmare due in part to pete's relentless pursuit of perfection. they kept tweaking and tweaking the song. i guess that's why there are soooooooo many versions of the original out there. it almost came to physical Blows.
@thedarthflagger Ah yes, that was it. Which was why that when it came time for Dead Or Alive to release a new album, PWL's production label did not appear on the Nude album. It's funny how SAW only appeared on two albums of Dead or Alive's but not anything else after that... Haha! Oh well.
@ColtenDoesMakeupTV Nude was produce by dead or alive and paid for by dead or alive. SAW was dropped after Mad Bad. Pete and the boys were no longer or happy with their sound being reproduce for the likes of Kylie and so fourth!
@MySTRANGER101 it wasnt dead or alives sound the sound was there before them.hazel dean and divine were produced before doa by stock,atkin,and waterman.pete burns asked then to produce their single you spin me round
Despite that Divine was a guy and over over weight, he manage to be a successful singer! He also was a very self confident guy. I used to his music in the 80's Viva Divine.... A huevo!!!!!!!!!
Straight people waste their lives. Gay people know how to live them.
