If you were to talk to my close friends, and you wondered what it's like inside my head, they would tell you that a typical Deee-lite video would be what it's like to be in the head of your dear Mistress. They're probably right. I have fond memories of this song from the Palladium in New York. One gay pride weekend my good friend and sister Mame headed there to find the line out the door and around the block. They even had those huge round spot lights that shine way up, flashing everywhere. Luckily he knew the door person and voilà, we were in! Mind you, we entered at around 10pm on a Sunday evening and came out the next morning during the rush hour. Yours truly had just a few minuscule cocktails that night. And we must have danced like 8 hours at least. Upon coming out of the club I said to Mame " Jesus Chrrrrrrrist, get that spotlight out of my eyes." To which Mame replied "Maddie, that's the sun." Ahhhhh good times. But Runaway played that night which is a song recorded and produced by Deee-Lite. The song was released as the lead single of their second studio album, Infinity Within. The song is Deee-Lite's fourth single to top the Billboard dance chart..........
This also happen to be the first time to meet the fabulous Lady Bunny.
How do you say Dee-Lite!” This post just made my entire day! Glad to see someone loving her influence as much as I do :) I can only imagine your antics in the club days
ReplyDeleteJust think, your educating this old broad on music I missed. What a groovy little ditty.Looks like she studied some of Ann-Margret's dance moves from the 60s. Check Bye Bye Birdie and Viva Las Vegas to see Ann-Margret at her peak
ReplyDeleteI also thought of Ann-Margret when I saw this video.
Delete@agnes and @jon - oh lawdy YES YES YES!
DeleteMeeee too! I am totally loving this series Mistress. A love homage to them.
DeleteDamn..... I really miss this music... yes, If I recall correctly, you sure did own the clubs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a knockout, Beautiful voice, very retro beat! You had the best club music then. And that Dmitri Brill sure did have the hip action. Bet he was probably good in bed.
ReplyDeleteSo THATS what goes on in your head? Love the song. They were definitely under sold. Talk about feel good music. Now where's the joint?
ReplyDeleteWords cannot even explain how much I love Lady Miss K!��❤️❤️��
ReplyDeleteWe are trying to conduct a FAX ORGY...
ReplyDelete"Oh, what a night! Late September back in..."
ReplyDeleteThose are kinds of things that stick with a person. The many Fri and Sat nights out on the town, drinking, dancing, chasing tail, getting home as the sun rose over the horizon, and feeling fantastic! Then sadly, you wake up one day after such a time and you realize...I can't do that shit anymore. So you leave for hom a bit earlier - say 4am, then 3, then 2...
Hugs, my mistress!
or in the mistress's case,drinking, dancing, drinking, chasing tail, drinking, getting home as the sun rose over the horizon, Drinking more and feeling fantastic!
