Malcolm McLaren - Nessun Dorma (Fans)

Mini Biography

In the mid 1970s, as a young man not yet thirty, Malcolm McLaren owned and operated a London shop simply called "Sex" and dreamed of fame and fortune. He met a half formed group of teenage rock star hopefuls and fed them happy half truths about the great bands he had led to stardom. With his help in finding corner stone members John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) and Sid Vicious, those boys became the English punk rock legends The Sex Pistols. The group met its ends less then four years later and McLaren walked away with a little bit of personal fame, but with most of his big dreams unfulfilled. Using his status as a legend maker McLaren would later manage such 80s punk influenced pop successes as Adam Ant, Bow Wow Wow and Boy George, and even release albums of music under his own name. Though Malcolm McLaren has never achieved the Beatle-mania level of fame that he so clearly strives for, he's never strayed to far from the spotlight. Writing, producing and always looking for new talent to show the world, hopefully for a profit.

Before managing The Sex Pistols, he had taken control of the 'New York Dolls'. Within a year, the Dolls (who had been a successful proto-punk band in the New York glam scene) were finished. Among his "innovations" for the band was to dress them up in red leather outfits on a stage bededcked with Soviet flags and pictures of Marx and Lenin.

The discography of Malcolm McLaren, English performer, impresario, self-publicist and former manager of the Sex Pistols and the New York Dolls, consists of eight studio albums, one compilation, one remix album, two soundtracks, two extended plays and eighteen singles.

To those making a reference to Eminem's song. It is EXTREMELY doubtful that Eminem would have even have heard of Malcolm McLaren, much less have heard this song. It was very obscure and ALL of you would never have heard of it either if it weren't for Youtube. So, relax and get over it. I had this 12" back in the '80s and the only way I heard of it (and, I have an extensive knowledge of music) was because it was on the record which included "Madame Butterfly" which DID have club play back then.

I really like Stan by Eminem but hearing this Malcolm McLaren song for the first time I can't help but wonder if there wasn't some unintentional plagarism going on, perhaps Eminem heard this when he was a kid and something about stuck in his mind.

This song is really creepy.

Buffalo gals was and is a very influential song in the hip hop word. I lived in the bronx in the 80s and it was played EVERYWHERE!! Eminem was referencing this song and has said so himself.

@Harrylechat01 he did steal the concept of this song, but its not plagiarism since he used different lyrics/cover/sample/song/clip/­setting

@Harrylechat01 I don't see a lot of similarities aside from the obvious of letters from obsessed fans. But really, that's a pretty common concept
