Well, it looks like Pride Month has come to an end. Just had to end the month with a late-night dance party in the memory of our dear Anne Marie who was a staunch supporter and ally...and the fight isn't over...it may just be beginning again. Now get those cha -cha heels on and let's get dancing!!!!!!
HAPPY
Oh my god. This would be a good day for ironing. All I have to do is play your post for entertainment.
ReplyDeleteSome amazing songs here that I know, and some that I don't - I'll pop on this playlist later on as it's early morning here. Thanks, Maddie!
ReplyDeleteI still have a VM from AM on my phone. Can't bring myself to delete it.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't! A delightful treasure for when you need a pick me up.
DeleteThat is a great dance party. AM is loving it!
ReplyDeleteYou slipped in ABBA. Anne Marie would not be amused. lol
ReplyDeleteMy flag is still up in the front yard as the "Don't Say Gay" law just went in to effect. I think it will stay up for a while.
The smart ass I am if I lived there ...next to the Pride flag would be another flat with the word gay all over it.
DeleteAnne Marie would approve! (except for the ABBA one, of course)
ReplyDeleteYep. I always liked teasing her with one. I'll never forget our last lunch together....I a show up wearing my mask and plastic bejeweled gloves and a ABBA song came on. She just rolled her eyes and said Oh fuck me! But later said it was one ABBA song she could take.
DeleteThanks, though you missed "It's raining men," I think.
ReplyDeleteWould you believe I like the song but was never a huge fan of it.
DeleteOut of 27 songs, I know 7. Definitely living in Stodge City, the capital of Fogeyville. Since everything has already been said about Carebear and her hatred (putting it mildly) of all things ABBA, I won't pile on.
ReplyDeleteWould it be wrong to admit that I like this Sister Sledge song way more than We Are Family? Well, I do and always have.
I like them both Deedles....buy I too like this one a tad better. Happy Pride Duchess!!!!!!!
DeleteYou aint fogeyville gurl...you can dance with me...we'll shake it. Never mind things shake on me that shouldn't. Just go wit it.
DeleteFogey! Hell no. I don't know many of these either Deedles, but William and I did dance to the disco classics. We saw many perform in person in NYC clubs back in the day...and even "partied" with the gay boys well into the early 90's. I can do our old lady side shuffle together with the Empress.
DeleteHugs to you Empress and Ms Agnes. You're both sweet and lively! I was a fogey from birth so I'm used to it. Can't dance, never could. I love music and how it enters me at home. In public, rhythm shuns me and I paralyze. Always have. No biggie. I love music with words I can understand more so than dance rhythms, which is probably why I enjoy pre-disco Bee Gees more. Empress, these days jiggling throws my back out so shaking is out of the question!
DeleteGreat selection Maddie. And it always warms my heart anytime anyone references our belated warrior queen and friend.

So much music, so little time. Thanks for the memories.
ReplyDeleteLadies and gentlemen, this is disco and House. Much better than what passes for dance music, now... 20 years later.
ReplyDeleteSome of the most amazing grooves ever. The long-playing list of house and disco is ever better is even better! Always loved Sophie Ellis Bextor....she has a classical, elegant beauty
ReplyDeleteKeep the party going! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, this is going to be my wake up play list tomorrow morning - some favs there! Glad you’re having a great time.
ReplyDeletesx
Get that cardio going Scarlet. It's almost better than sex! I said almost.
DeleteSome of the most defining tracks of its time. Timeless and still me me going.
ReplyDeleteBetty Boo?!?!?!?!??! I adore you. Ive not met one person yet who knew who she was.
Oh Honey.....I was there from the get go with Doin' the Do!!!! I LOVE me some Betty Boo.
DeleteSo many good memories! Dance Music was just so much better then. This is getting me going Mistress. And I love that Martha Wash is here.
ReplyDeleteOh yes....Martha Wash is practically a gay house anthem institution!!!!!!
DeleteOh Mistress, I can remember being at the Pallidum for many of these jigs!!! And when that Cyndi Lauper song, Come on Home started...the Queens went nuts!!!!!!! Junior sure knew how to get the crowd into a frenzy. Ill be listening to this all afternoon. You a good dj
ReplyDeleteThe Pallidum was one of the most opulent and best clubs I have ever spent nights!!!!!! That place was just pure euphoria. 5 levels in an opulent old theater dancing and cavorting for 5 to 7 hours was just insane. How could it get any better???? I was even there for it's final night, The Wreaking Ball Party. A sad day.
DeleteI really think this is when musical artistry peaked as well as talent. We lived an amazing time on the dance floors and in clubs around the world. A real global community culture of music lovers. The younger people have no idea what "clubbing " was like. Church and camp...hand in hand.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly got my big ole ass dancing gurl.
I think your right. The 90's and early 2000's had the best dance music ever. And the DJ were off the hook. The likes of Frankie Knuckles, Louie DeVito, Danny Tenaglia, Pete Tong and the most fabulous ever Junior Vasquez....that man put me into a trance too many times to mention gurl.
DeleteDoes it count If I was heading out and dancing to the disco sections? I might be old and don't know many of these, but they do give life, and you keep me on the pulse of things and music. Many of these I admit got me foot tapping.
ReplyDeleteHey, Dancing is dancing!!!! You should have seen me dancing to the tunes as I was putting this together.
DeleteI miss her and I'm gonna dance like nobody is watching
ReplyDeletePerfect playlist!!! Mistress, you have taken an old man back and feel like a kid again. Reminds me of the tea dances I used to go too. I nice mix of old and new and nothing like throwing in some old disco. I enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteCap...there is nothing like a fun tea dance filled with disco.
DeleteABBA - SOS.
ReplyDeleteAin't that the truth. Sending out a huge SOS that this is not the last Pride we'll be able to celebrate.
You know a play list won't come through without some ABBA!!!!
DeleteWhen that song came out...my friends used to yell Maddie O Maddie O instead of daddy O in the song, while on the dance floor. Enjoy the list!
ReplyDeleteLet us keep pride and power going all the year.
ReplyDeleteIn the immortal words of the Warrior Queen, FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteLate to the party, as ever [I have my excuses - one helluva Pride weekend!]...
ReplyDeleteYou've chosen some absolute corkers in the selection, Mads - there are one or two unfamiliar ones here, however, that I am going to have to catch up with shortly! Jx
PS I can hear the dulcet tones of Anne Marie shouting "fuck Abba!" as we speak.
Never too late my dear. You know the party goes for at least three days around this joint.
