I can't see how you thought it would be him. Even if there's some physical similarity, you only have to take a brief look about the sort of things Russell Simmons has been involved with to know that he's never been in a Village People line up.

it looks a lot like him, but I agree, I had strong doubts.

Apparently, and this is very difficult to dispute, The Village People were the first manufactured pop group not related to a TV series (i.e. don't say, "What about The Monkees?")

A lot of research has gone into this, and it's amazing how many pop groups you'd think were manufactured, like say The Bay City Rollers for example, or The Sex Pistols, were actually childhood friends and had formed the band together before they became "manufactured".

Yeah. God knows where I got that Village People nonsense from. It might have been in a dream. One of Ringo's dreams I mean.

I used to like Boney M when I was about four or five years old. Here's a great piece of trivia from Boney M's Wikipedia entry:

quote:
As recounted in his book Touching the Void, the British climber Joe Simpson was subsequently to find the catchy tune of "Brown Girl in the Ring" haunting him in the final hours of his epic struggle to survive the descent of Siula Grande in the Andes.
Chilling. It's bad enough having to listen to sickly pop music in shops and on the radio; the idea that it might come back to haunt you in your darkest hours really brings home how pernicious this material is. Imagine being trapped in the rubble after an explosion. There's no light. Your legs are crushed. You're dying of thirst. You're never going to see your wife or child again. Then somewhere in your hindbrain the sounds of the "Oo-ee-ooo-ah-ah-ting-tang-wallah-wallah-bing-bang" song by The Cartoons starts to fade in to your conscious thought, getting louder and louder until you realise this is how you're going to die; alone and with a novelty pop song attached like a limpet to your brain.

I didn't find it that difficult to dispute your claim there, dang65.

I read a news story, many years ago, about a guy who was pinned in his car in a ditch in the wilderness. He couldn't rouse any help, wasn't found for days. On the fourth day a passing vehicle spotted him and called the emergency services who eventually freed him. First thing his saviour had to do, though, was turn off the cassette single that had been stuck on repeat...

WAKE ME UP BEFORE YOU GO-GO!

Bollocks. His battery would have run out. And can you put a cassette single on repeat? I suppose it just keeps turning over in a car radio and cassette singles used to have the same songs on each side, didn't they? But still... there would have been a b-side to break the monotony.

Unless the b-side was like a radio edit or remix or something.

Dear Lord. Apparently the b-side to Wake Me Up Before You Go Go was the instrumental version of the same song. Poor man.

Who still doesn't actually exist, because the cassette single wasn't widely introduced until 1987. As far as I'm aware Wake Me Up Before You Go Go only appeared on 7 and 12 inch vinyl.

So there.

Chilling. ....alone and with a novelty pop song attached like a limpet to your brain.
This is how I found out Kate Nash was fucking fluff-filled fool. She cited this story in an interview once and said 'some bloke got stuck up a mountain and had 'Agadoo' looping around his brain. Stupid fucking bitch. Plus, this is why so-called 'harmless' pop music has to stop. Do you think threads are the same too? Imagine if you were trapped in a fiery hi-rise tower and all you could think of was Mart's Alphabet Thread. You'd hurl yourself out.

Your haiku went a bit crap at the end there. Promising start, though.
