WHY ARE THEY ON THE HOLODECK

― A.B. (alanbanana), Thursday, 6 April 2006 22:36 (eighteen years ago) link

P.S. I HAD TO PAUSE DIVINE TO HEAR THIS

― a.b. (alanbanana), Thursday, 6 April 2006 22:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Holy Jesus.

"This is the part I hate
Why do they make you wait?"

I admit I was thinking they'd say something else.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 April 2006 22:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Okay, the spoken-word break part where they try to convince you of the joys of heterosexuality is beyond description.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 April 2006 22:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Ha ha ha compared to roid-enhanced physiques of gay clubs today these guys are PUNY.

Wait a minute! What the...WOMEN?!?!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 6 April 2006 22:56 (eighteen years ago) link

I spent a few minutes trying to choose my favorite part of this video. Turns out, every part of this video is my favorite part.

― Jeff Reguil0n (Talent Explosion), Thursday, 6 April 2006 22:56 (eighteen years ago) link

This is like the ultimate noise video.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 April 2006 23:00 (eighteen years ago) link

For once a thread lived up to its billing.

― Masked Gazza, Thursday, 6 April 2006 23:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm never washing my eyes again.

― strom (strom), Thursday, 6 April 2006 23:08 (eighteen years ago) link

This video is basically "so not gonna happen 1979".

I didn't think the Village People could ever top the "milkshake" sequence from "Can't Stop The Music", but this is *severe*

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Friday, 7 April 2006 00:13 (eighteen years ago) link

It's like that sequence crossed with all the conspicuously female 'hotties' from "I Love You to Death."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 7 April 2006 00:30 (eighteen years ago) link

"what do you look like?"
"HOT. i'm VERY HOT."

― joseph (joseph), Friday, 7 April 2006 00:33 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't want to be Debbie Downer or Captain Obvious, but I'm guessing the reason the VP were singing about jerking off back in '85 was 'cause AIDS made the idea of casual penetrative gay sex too fucking scary and not fun.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Friday, 7 April 2006 01:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Notice how the end of the clip even prefigures the advent of cybersex!

― nabiscothingy, Friday, 7 April 2006 01:53 (eighteen years ago) link

If they ever make a Village People biopic, I hope Wilmer Valderrama plays Felipe Rose.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Friday, 7 April 2006 01:57 (eighteen years ago) link

I also like the way the video teams up a girl counterpart for each guy. Cowgirl, soldier, dominatrix, meter maid: if we can have a teen-pop version of DEVO, then I demand an all-girl Village People as well.

The way the cowboy's neck spasms up when he twirls around: scary scary.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Friday, 7 April 2006 01:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Why were they so desperate to appear hetero? Didn't most people get that they weren't?

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Friday, 7 April 2006 02:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Here's the "milkshake" segment that Drew mentioned and that I had successfully forgotten about until now.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Friday, 7 April 2006 02:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Thank U, ILM, for helping me go totaaly batshit insane at a much more rapid pace then previously was believed to be possible.

Impossible. It is unforgettable.

If they ever make a Village People biopic, I hope Wilmer Valderrama plays Felipe Rose.

Trivia: Felipe is the only bisexual member of the Village People.

― chad (chad), Friday, 7 April 2006 05:30 (eighteen years ago) link

and now you can sing along!

Well
I just want to say: Lately I smile all day

Lately I'm never down
lately I never frown.
At home or in the car
don't matter where you are

Don't wanna be alone
you just pick up the phone.
Hello, fantasy hotline?
What's your credit card number?
69667113
. "Your phone number?" "7 51-61 77".
What's your fantasy?
I just wanna speak to a very hot one
. "We'll call you back".

Sex over the phone - You know I like it.
Sex over the phone - You know I need it.
Sex over the phone - Come on and give it to me
baby.
Sex over the phone.

This is the part I hate
why do they make you wait?
Here's where the fevers rise enough to cross my eyes.
They can be short or tall
they can be white or black.
I don't care
not at all
long as they call me back.
Hello?
Hello, baby, it's me, your fantasy
.
What's your name?
'Who cares? Just care about my body".
What do you look like?
Hot, I look very hot
.

Sex over the phone - In the morning.
Sex over the phone - In the afternoon.
Sex over the phone - Sometimes late in the evening.
Sex over the phone.

When I want to take a ride I don't have to go outside.
I don't need to dress if I'm feeling lazy.
I can lie there in my bed painting pictures in my head.
I just touch my princess and I go crazy.
If you are feelin' hot and after all who's not?
Right now I've got a cure to help your temperature.
All that you need's a dime and just a little time.
A pay phone on the street can help you beat the heat.

Sex over the phone - It's so fulfilling.
Sex over the phone - They're always willing.
Sex over the phone - Don't break connection
baby.
Sex over the phone.

It's loving that you need
satisfaction guaranteed.
It won't cost that much for you to start talking.
It's a very small amount on your credit card account.
Come on
let your fingers do the walking.
Sex over the phone - you know I like it. . . .
Sex over the phone - Sex over the phone - Sex over the phone -
Sex over the phone - Sex over the phone - Sex over the phone.

The best part is where the two white dudes hold phones up to each other's ears at arm's length, like they're attacking each other with them.

The cowboy is the scariest motherfucker ever. If I saw him on the street, I'd cover my ass and run.

I feel a lot less threatened now I know they fantasize about women.

― StanM (StanM), Sunday, 9 April 2006 09:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Couldn't believe the part halfway through where they reveal that they're talking to women...it's kind of deflating, cos up until then, it was sublime. I was actually quite shocked. Surely no-one can have taken this for a heterosexual video...surely?

But it's all the same woman, and none of our heroes notices!

― StanM (StanM), Sunday, 9 April 2006 17:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I've got it! It's subliminal sociological commentary!

These five archetypical American working heroes are all fooled by one slut of a woman, who just changes into their fantasies for the duration of one phone call, hereby subliminally implying that Women Are Sluts And Can't Be Trusted.

Ouch, we been brainwashed!

There's actually another version of this song where a man answers the phone rather than a woman. Somehow that doesn't seem as hilarious, though.
