Paul was one of a kind, and a great song writer without peer. Another of Paul's great songs is on you tube, check out "Somethings Missing" by Donna Summer, and Karen Carpenter.

[MrAiredale]

Hmm, do you have the link for it? I searched and can't find it.

[krapug1]

Search as, "Donna Summer, Somethings Missing", and you will find it.

[MrAiredale]

I just searched using those terms and all I got was 4 results..none of them being a duet with Karen. Can you just send me the direct link?

Great to see this extravaganza again, but it's been censored in places. Here's what I recall:

1. The note the exec passes to the other exec has "negro -- MTV?" written on it. Maybe the resolution is just too poor here to pick that up?

2. Right before he/she sings "he ripped off my mumu", the lyric "Hung like a mule, oh what a tool had he!" was replaced with just music.

[MrAiredale]

Yeah, I think its just the resolution regarding the notepad, but I didn't know about the deleted lyrics! Are the censored lyrics on the vinyl, just not in the video?

Thanks for posting this video - what a classic - Please please Warners issue the album on cd with the remixes and video.

"How long is it?"

"Wha--? Oh! The song. Nine and a half minutes."

Wow great love this song, I have just downloaded another version which we did with Paul when he was in London, we recorded it in our studio and the singer was Laura Pallas, it was never released as a single (shame) because she sang it so well.

First time I saw this video it was at the Body Works in Indy - I was 18 (now 43) I used to have the album ... but lost it in a divorce! Glad to hear Paul Jabara - Love his imprint in the Gay Dance community. God bless and You are Greatly missed!

sooo random !! rip paul jabara though

This was one of the favorite videos they used to show in it's entirely at [the long defunct] Charlie's West in East Orange NJ.

It's a shame that place was gone. Where else could you have seen the Weather Girls, Madonna, or even Divine for $5 cover ?????

[fzkny]

So glad to see it again. Thanks for sharing!

I nearly lost my breath the first time I heard this in a disco. One of the funniest novelty tunes of the Disco era.

[MarChiville]

OMFG! I have been looking for this for years!
