Summary: What Memories
Comment: I was in high school when i first heard of the Village People. I don't remember exactly which show I saw them on: Donnie & Marie, Sonny & Cher, The Brady Bunch Comedy Hour... But I was hooked.
Being from the old south, I had never seen folks like this entertaining! And break all stereotypes they did! Policemen, Indians, Cowboys, Construction Workers, Military Guys, Motorcycle riders! These aren't the types of folks who'd expect on FIRE ISLAND!
LUV EM ONE! LUV EM ALL!

Summary: awesome disco tunes that pack a punch
Comment: This is one major Village People CD that their fans cannot afford to be without! We get great songs by the group and there are even a few 12 inch single versions of some really great dancing numbers. The Village People sound great on this album and I always enjoy listening to this one.
The CD starts with their instant classic "Y.M.C.A.;" they sing this really well and the disco flavor of the music makes me want to dance! The tune has a great beat and I think you'll like this one, too, even if you're not a major Village People fan. Listen also for the twelve inch dance music version of "Macho Man;" this number celebrates masculinity and they sing this very well. The beat is solid and this is another great tune you can dance to easily.
"San Francisco (You've Got Me)" is both an ode to San Francisco and a song about the good quality of life for gay people in San Francisco; and "In Hollywood (Everybody Is A Star)" is a campy, fun tune about a guy's dreams of becoming a major Hollywood star! Many people will be able to relate to "In Hollywood (Everybody Is A Star);" and it's very well done with good percussion and great tempo changes all along the way.
"In The Navy" continues that Village People sound with a solid underlying beat and fun, campy lyrics that actually work rather well. There's also a twelve inch dance version of their incredible "Go West;" "Go West" was always one of my very favorite Village People numbers. "Go West" sounds relentlessly optimistic and very energetic. They sing and harmonize on "Go West" to perfection.
"Hot Cop" is a cool song about the seductive nature of a cop; and the album ends strong with the twelve inch version of "Y.M.C.A." Great!
Village People fans will love this generous CD with its mixture of regular length and twelve inch dance versions of classic Village People songs. Put this on the CD player and crank up the volume!
