TONGUE FUN: Post 1: 'I WANT CANDY' by BOW WOW WOW
'I WANT CANDY' sung by BOW WOW WOW
I know a guy who's tough but sweet
He's so fine, he can't be beat
He's got everything that I desire
Sets the summer sun on fire
I want candy, I want candy
Go to see him when the sun goes down
Ain't no finer boy in town
You're my guy, just what the doctor ordered
So sweet, you make my mouth water
I want candy, I want candy
Candy on the beach, there's nothing better
But I like candy when it's wrapped in a sweater
Some day soon I'll make you mine,
Then I'll have candy all the time
I want candy, I want candy
I want candy, I want candy...

PLAYTIME for BOYS: Post 1: IT'S A SWEET TRIP TO THE CANDY SHOP
I've thrown away my toys,
Even my drums and trains,
I want to make some noise,
with real live airplanes.
Some day I'm going to fly,
I'll be a pilot to,
and when I do,
how would you,
like to be my crew?
On the good ship
lollipop
its a sweet trip
to the candy shop
where bon-bon's play,
on the sunny beach
of peppermint bay
Lemonade stands,
everywhere
crackerjack bands,
fill the air,
and there you are,
happy landings on a chocolate bar.
See the sugar bowl
do a tootsie roll
in a big bad devils food cake,
if you eat too much,
oh, oh,
you'll awake,
with a tummy ache.
On the good ship
lollipop
its a nice trip,
in to bed you hop,
and dream away,
on the good ship
lollipop
'On the good ship lollipop' sung by Shirley Temple.

CAMP: This week in CAMP: Post 2: Liberace, Mae West, Twilight, Batman
*Top : Eccentric Broadway and concert star Liberace and lover chauffeur Scott Thorson (author of 'Behind the Candelabra: My life with Liberace') *Middle right: 1930's sex symbol Mae West in bed with Charlie McCarthy Edgar Bergen's celebrated sidekick. In her first film after a long stage career, she was already 40 by the time she became famous in movies, and saved Paramount from closure. In a radio interview she said to Charlie McCarthy...."Mmmm, why don't you come up and play in my wood pile". Her last few classic films suffered because of the moral code she had to endure. Her 2nd last film in 1970, and comeback after many years, was the camp classic Myra Breckinridge (before her last film Sextette). She starred with Raquel Welch...who insists to this day on the DVD commentary Mae was born a man, was a huge hit with the public...but misunderstood by the reviewers. Viewed today its so delightfully bad, its a camp masterpiece. If only we could see the full unedited film, before Hollywood started cutting it...but it was all over the place anyway. (Vanity Fair did a great article on the making of Myra) Mae of course wasn't a man....I was in contact with one of the musclemen from her 50's Las Vegas Revue a few years ago before he died. He told me she auditioned them wearing a see through top with rouged nipples underneath, and that Mae was "all woman". Her lead in those Revues was muscleman Dick DuBoise, my favorite. She said at the time she had them in the show so the 'wives' in the audience had something to look at. Mae famously had Mickey Hargitay taken away from her by sexpot Jayne Mansfield during that Show, but met long time lover and companion Paul Novak. Jayne of course was like a much younger version of Mae....Mae by this time was in her 60's, but still pulling the crowds. She stayed with Paul for the last decades of her life, he looked after her, and truly loved her.
*Middle left: Naughty Twilight boys go for it. If only! * Bottom: Batman wears pink for his many admirers.
Can anyone link these photos? Liberace played villain Chandell in camp classic 60's TV series Batman, and was rumored to have dated Mae West, which of course wasn't true. She of course only like musclemen and prize fighters. In his later years, according to Scott, 'Lee' would dress in a white fur coat at 'twilight' park his ostentatious white Rolls Royce in the carpark behind a famous L.A supermarket, and try to pick up box boys. Scott Thorson says he introduced 'Lee' to 'poppers'. Liberace of course was a brilliant showman and pianist....probably the campest entertainer of them all. He talked Elvis into dressing more flamboyantly in the 50's, which he did.

JOSCHKA NETZ: 'From here on it got rough' sung by Hildegard Knef (from the German Pop CD The IN-KRAUT 66/74)
I came to the world on a cold winter’s day
Sneezed three times, it must have been hay
My father was livid, he wanted a son
I took a look round and said to the nun:
From here on it gets rough
At first I found I had little to do
They allowed me to grow a room with a view
But after awhile they hit on a plan
It’s time to start learning, the trouble began
From here on it got rough
At fifteen I had a dream, which I found very clever
I wanted to act, mama said: no, never!
My father said: out! – I was already gone
And followed the call: the show must go on
From here on it got rough
My talents were spotted, producers were proud
And gave me those parts where you stand in the crowd
When the star became ill I stepped in like a shot
And someone from film signed me up on the spot
From here on it got rough
I played all the good parts and sometimes the bad
And sometimes a fig leaf was all that I had
And Hollywood
If I didn’t come soon so I went – aye, aye, aye…
From here on it got rough
But now I was famous, I had made it at last
And happily back to the scene of my past
I received a big prize, had my name in “Who’s Who”
But after a flop that name was taboo
From here on it got rough
At first I was hurt, I thought it was wrong
Then somebody heard me singing a song
I told him: I couldn’t, but he said, yes you can
So that’s how this latest torment began
A change was overdue:
From here it’s rough on you
(song 'From Here on it got rough' sung and written by actress/singer Hildegard Knef from the CD 'THE IN KRAUT' 66/74 , Listen to it on Youtube. Translated from German to English by her then-husband David Cameron.)
