    A friend made a gift of his copy of this when I visited London Oct 81. Though he is sadly long gone I still cherish the vinyl he gave me. This track reminds me of the life lesson he taught me, "Live for the day, the night will catch up with you all too soon."

    Goodness, I danced to this several times someplace on Polk in the early '80s and bought the LP in a record store on Castro--and still have it! I remember a gathering of clones on the corner of Castro and Market playing it on a boombox, too. Outside the disco on Polk there was a bus stop that featured an ad for Calvin Klein briefs. It seemed torn right out of the pages of the old Advocate, the tabloid version. Oh, yes, them there were the old days.

      You're going to pay for what you've done to yourself and others. You are a walking contradiction. Why do you have testicles that produce sperm for the purposes of procreation with a woman? Why do you have that?

    Toen dit in de discotheken gedraaid werd was ik nog te jong om te beseffen waar de txt over ging maar ik vond het een geweldig nummer om op te dansen, mooie herinneringen aan 😄

      Zeker goeie herinneringen in de Amsterdamse discotheken. Ik heb 2 vinyl 12" versies incl. eentje met de hoes zoals afgebeeld. Meest bizarre is dat ik tegenwoordig in San Francisco woon.

    Hey there all you hunky guys
    Dancin' to the beat
    Listen here I'll tell you 'bout
    A new way to meet
    All it takes is a little time
    For you to feel the heat
    Wait 'til the night
    And start to cruise the street

    You can find a hot stud
    Anywhere you wanna go
    All you need is a little time
    So you can make up your mind
    And when you see him standing there
    Walk up like you don't care
    Move on in and you will find
    You will make out every time

    They're out there on Folsom
    (Cruisin' the streets) I've even seen 'em on Castro
    (Cruisin' the street)

    In Hollywood (Cruisin' the street)
    On Santa Monica Boulevard (Cruisin' the street)
    New York City in the bright lights (Cruisin' the street)
    That's ah Christopher Street, I believe (Cruisin' the street)
    I swear even cowboys like to strut too (Cruisin' the street)
    Oh, at the capital San Francisco, we're out there (Cruisin' the street)

    You can find anything
    That you're looking for
    Absolutely guaranteed
    It won't be a bore, no, no
    (Cruisin') They're everywhere, I'm telling you

    You can find a hot stud
    Anywhere you wanna go
    All you need is a little time
    So you can make up your mind
    And when you see him standing there
    Walk up like you don't care
    Move on in and you will find
    You will make out every time

    Cruisin' the street
    Cruisin' the street
    Cruisin' the street

    Hey there all you hunky guys
    Dancin' to the beat
    Now I taught you all about
    A new way to meet
    Just be careful and watch out
    It might be the heat
    Wait until midnight
    And start to cruise the street

    You can find a hot stud
    Anywhere you wanna go
    All you need is just a little time
    So you can make up your mind
    And when you see him standing there
    Just walk up like you don't care
    Move on in and you will find
    You will make out every time
    🔥🔥😍
