Details: Amazon.ca One of the many wonderful things about the film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert was that it educated the populace on the school of drag. (At least a little.) Likewise, the film's soundtrack also enlightens those who may have wrongly thought that drag is rooted specifically in disco and torch classics. Sure, there's more than one version of disco stalwarts like "Shake Your Groove Thing," "I Love the Nightlife," and "I Will Survive," but this collection also finds the camp in songs like Paper Lace's "Billy Don't Be a Hero" and "Take a Letter Maria" by R.B. Graves. And of course, Abba's "Mamma Mia" emerges as the embodiment of overwrought dramatics. The soundtrack, with songs by the Village People and Vanessa Williams, is as much of a romp as the film. --Steve Gdula Product description Tracks: Charlene - I've Never Been To Me 3:53 / Village People - Go West 3:33 / Paper Lace - Billy, Don't Be A Hero 3:43 / White Plains - My Baby Loves Lovin' 2:44 / Bridges, Alicia - I Love The Nightlife (Disco Round) [Original Vers.] 3:25 / Trudy Richards - Can't Help Lovin' That Man 2:39 / Gaynor, Gloria - I Will Survive 3:18 / Lena Horne - A Fine Romance 3:12 / Peaches & Herb - Shake Your Groove Thing [Original Mix] 5:32 / Page, Patti - I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine 2:42 / Peniston, Ce Ce - Finally [7" Choice Mix] 4:08 / Greaves, R.B. - Take A Letter Maria 2:43 / ABBA - Mamma Mia 3:32 / Williams, Vanessa - Save The Best For Last 3:38 / Bridges, Alicia - I Love The Nightlife (Disco Round) [Real Rapino 7" Mix] 3:31 / Village People - Go West [Original 12" Mix] 6:34 / Gaynor, Gloria - I Will Survive [1993 Phil Kelsey Classic 12" Mix] 4:51 / Peaches & Herb - Shake Your Groove Thing [Original 12" Mix] 6:38 / Bridges, Alicia - I Love The Nightlife (Disco Round) [Phillip Damien Ext.
