Tina Turner - Private Dancer
Another song i'll never forget.
At the time i was doing national service. a friend & i went to a club called Mrs Hendersons (jhb).
You entered the place at street level, there was a huge bar and a wrap around floor overlooking the dance floor and bars below. there was a terribly grand staircase that went downstairs to the main club area.
So friend & i are guzzling our drinks, suddenly the music stops, the dance floor is cleared, and a drag queen appears - a rather large one.
she performs one song, which is followed by her doing Private Dancer.
A giant spotlight comes on and scans the crowd - back and forth, and stops on me.
The entire place is looking at me, i'm feeling like Bambi, trapped on a freeway staring into the headlights of a speeding car.
The drag queen starts her way up the stairs - 2 spotlights, one on her, the other on me.
Next thing she is on me, like a spider on a fly.
She's wrapped a giant feather boa around me and got me up against the railings, grinding away on me.
As fate would have it, her peen came loose from however it was tucked away. By now she has also got my shirt off. At this point i figure im all in. I grab her and we do a dance - grinding away at each other, and i manage to get her to the railings - and into submission.
It was quite a hoot, the crowd was loving the unexpected response.
For me - free drinks the rest of the night.
