gloria gloria



Now the sirens have a still more fatal weapon than their song, namely their silence... someone might have escaped from their singing; but from their silence, certainly never.
Franz Kafka


this next one i absolutely fell in love with....

i found it in an unusual spot -on xtube. it got pulled from xtube for being inappropriate (that certainly makes it sweeter)! it definitely takes me back to another time entirely and yet it seems a little fresh somehow. i hope you'll agree... his name is karl allott. this is exactly what singers do.. they sing. let's have a little fun, shall we? so many gay boys in the early 80's sang these words on the dance floor of the paradise in chicago for weekends on end.

here are the lyrics. funny, i find them appropriate for any tweaker i have ever known...



and just to make it more interesting, i am posting the original version of this song, too. umberto tozzi singing it in its original language (italian).

Sorry, doll, that's definitely in Spanish. Though Umberto Tozzi is an Italian name.
I wish you could splice both versions together.
It did get me dancing. Thanks for the flashback.
