Always loved this song, check out her other stuff, I love 'Walk Like A Man', also check out Hazell Dean, she is Hi-NRG Queen, especially 'Who's Leaving Who', 'Back In My Arms', 'Searchin'
I’m worried for you. His name was Harris Milstead and he got up to some depraved stuff. Including eating real dog crap in the film Pink Flamingoes. Now I’m sure they could have cooked up some fake shit for him but he went with the real stuff. The mind boggles at what else he got up to if he could do that. There you are hopefully cured. I do love the song though
@@personalcheeses8073 I already knew all that. Divine was a performances artist who also hung around within a very specific scene during that era. I've been a fan for over 30 years.
Divine, John Waters, Baltimore, SAW production (very You spin me round vibes), high NRG dance/clubs, fun, irony, drags, so 80's and so good to dance on ! 😂 But Aids spreading all over the world that will change a lot of things the next years...
For a Bro like you shaking your shoulders to Divi absolutely made my day! I was laughing so hard tears were coming down my face! Love to see your reaction to D or A's "You spin me round" which was inspired by Divine and was SAW's first No 1 (in England). Take care Brother!
London Pride 1985. Divine is etched on my memory performing this on top of a barge sailing up the river Thames. Having loved her in the John Waters movies it was a real treat.
Saw Divine several times! When he performed at the Hippodrome in London he came up from under the stage on a hydraulic lift thing, on the back of a baby elephant screaming “meet my husband” 😮😊
Dereck 🤩, yesssss.... last year pride month I mentioned Divine in a comment watching another reaction of you. And here you are 🥰🥰🥰. Divine was my ever 1st 'live' performance I went to in a club called Alcazar, Puttershoek , the Netherlands. I was 15 , was a Wednesday night, school night and my parents allowed me to go. Freakin amazing, trashy, nasty, hilarious but above all a memorable experience. Am 52 now, and am thrilled that you dig 'her' as I did as a teenager❤💯💣💥. Still have the albums on vinyl and my school agenda 1983, with a her on the cover taped. Wish I could show you that.... it's awesome. Anyway thanks Dereck, ❤u💯
I first heard a snippet of this song in an episode of the Max Headroom series. It was only about 15 - 30 seconds of the official music video that was played, but the memory of it got stuck in my head forever. It wasn't until about 30 years later that I found the song, the video, everything here on UA-cam.
Where the hell have the 1980's gone. Oneplace they didn't go for sure, it's in the history's bin. Looking at you Derek, a young man living fully in his era, I am proud to be 65 now and lived when I cold see, feel and almost touch Divine. Bigger than history itself. Thanks Derek.
In the 80s *everyone* in the industry was lip synching, because the Wall of Sound was antimatter to an actual human voice, and TV shows especially just dumped anyone wanting to sing live. It made the shock and mass pearl-clutching over German band Milli Vanilli even more disgustingly hypocritical. They were two young black guys, so guilty before the non-crime.
@@michaelbarry1651 uh no. This show in particular had everyone lip sync because it was easier than having studio musicians and sound checks. I think your brain is missing some matter
Omg I loved divine - RIP - please please check out Marilyn - callling your name from 83 - you will LOVE it! One of the most beautiful men ever, second only to Adam Ant (oops and my husband) lol 😂😘😘
Clip is from the Australian music TV show Countdown. All the big international acts would appear on this show in Oz. Aired every Sunday's 6.00 or 6.30PM.
@@jevousemmerdetouslesthunde2391 Without Divine we would not have had Spin me round! And altough I LOVE Dead or Alive, Divine was in a league of her own!! (Pete Loved her!!).
G'day it's Steven from down under again I recall at the time the popularity of similar acts like Marilyn, Boy George and Divine, if memory serves me correctly this video was filmed here in Australia and Devine didn't live a long life. Countdown was a popular 70's & 80's music program where performers very rarely sang live, many major acts appeared on this very popular program, Australia use to tune in weekly to get the latest in pop music. Ahhh the excesses of the eighteees...
lyrics were very tongue and cheek in this track, very humerous ! we all used to lipsync to our partner while dancing to this track lol. btw Dereck there are 100s of anthems from the 80s yet unheard !
Divine sang along to all of his backing tracks, and even the vocals. Yoiu can tell when he sings along. This performance, he didnt, and he wanted to voice Ursala, but was never chosen to do so. He was just the inspiration in looks. The morning he passed away, he was to be on Married With Children as Peggys uncle. Watch the I'm so Beautiful video.
Divine had a number of dance hits, mostly played in gay clubs, but they were very tongue in cheek. Most were either SAW produced or Bobby O. She is singing live to a track. The mic sound you heard was a synth beat of a door slamming. The music track is basically reworking of Dead or Alive's You Spin Me Round Like A Record"
@@Neonstrobelight100 you're right it did, but so much of SAW's work sounds similar. Bobby Orlando also produce some of Divine's songs. He was such a ripoff artist
Divine! My first drag idol back in the 80's and such an icon! (as well as Pete Burns (Dead or Alive) & Boy George)... very inspiring for a young lil queen like me back in the day haha Love all her/his music and movies.
80s at its best!!!!! A big hit all over Europe. Where are these artitst in 2021???? You shouldn't have any shame playing this loud in your car 40 (!!!!) years later. Doesn't feel we came THAT far really ....
'Countdown' was a weekly Australian music TV program that EVERYBODY watched during the 70s and 80s. This was a gobsmacking moment in 'Countdown's history. The switchboard lit up with complaints - but the song hit the Top 10 the following week, so Divine had the last laugh.
Stock Waterman Aiken produced this, and this was a huge hit. Aimed for the gay market. They followed up with You spin me round like a record", the label said that it would never be a mainstream hit because the sound was too gay.... AND their third single was "I should be so lucky" a huge hit for Kylie Minogue. Thus sound, the music played exclusively in gay clubs became almost mainstream. Hi nrg. In Europe we had euro disco. But most of the songs were quite bad... But it was an evolution of disco. For dancing. The lyrics were not that deep. But today you can still hear echos from this era in house music. Songs from 1981 being sampled or covered again and again......
I really like 'Native Love' (i love the Zombie Nation remix). Without the US LGBT community in Chicago and Detroit we wouldn't have this diversity in electronic music genre's and dance styles. But we germans started it in the 70's and perfected it when the wave came back to europe.
Thx for the nice reaction Dereck So you get into the hi-nrgy from the 80's Wonderful Saw her one once performing live.....it was sensational Divine had some other nice tracks "shoot your shot" and "walk like a man"...try it Suggestions : Amanda Lear...follow me Mel & Kim ....respectable
Funny story, this is a performance on Australian program Countdown. Only weeks before one of the "big shots" of the show "Ian Meldrum" demanded Divine to be denied entry into Australia. That Divine was grotesque and pornographic. How funny it was that Ian was off to New York exactly the week Divine was on the show!! The rest of the crew obviously loved Divine and gave her the full treatment with the car and dancers!! It was THE performance that made Divine a household name in Australia (for a while)!!
Divine was way ahead of her/his time..love this song. Please do some more Donna Summer, MacArthur Park is a masterpiece, Dim All the Lights, On the Radio, Heaven Knows, Last Dance, are all classic Donna Disco!
Great communalism divine etc but s many of my friends especially my best friend David and fen and so many dead from aids so even though I love these songs there Great it also brings a lump to my throat gone but never forgotten
Actually it was this song, and charted highest in Australia, where this was filmed, on the Melbourne based music show "Countdown", in the Spring of '84, around Divi's 39th birthday. Divi caused a bit of stir...

It was filmed on the Australian TV show called countdown, all performances on this tv show were lip-synched. Hence the bad audio and the microphone being all over the place. That said the TV show holds a strong influence over the music. Countdown proved to be instrumental in the worldwide success of a number of important overseas acts of the period. Madonna achieved her first hit single in April 1984 when "Holiday" was screened on Countdown. Subsequently, "Burning Up" reached the top twenty following repeated showings of the video clip on the show; this second song was not a hit in other countries. Other international artists including Blondie, ABBA, John Mellencamp, Meat Loaf, Boz Scaggs and Cyndi Lauper achieved their first hits in Australia, thanks to their video clips
AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please, do "Love Reaction" and "Shake It Up". Divine's collaboration with Bobby O is much better than the one with SAW and PWL
and it wasn't an underground hit. It went to #16 in the UK charts (before they realised he was a drag queen and stopped playing it on the radio after seeing his TOTP performance)

Divine was the inspiration for Ursula in Little Mermaid!
And was supposed to voice Ursula but sadly suffered heart failure or a heart attack before recording started.
Managed to originate the role of Edna Turnblad before her death though.
@@agenttheater5 Really? I did not know that he was going to personally do the voice. I knew the animators used Devine’s likeness for Ursula. That was what drove me to look up Divine and watch his video in the first place.
The original 1980s Ursula is still about the first best female Disney villain that Their animators and WRITERS ever made.
The live action versions of Ursula and Jafar are terrible disappointments.
All the live action characters have been ruined with regular animal and emotionless faces. Maybe that choice was to save money.
Hopefully with the writer strike over, unique original stories and characters who draw you in, with a look in their eyes, will be valued again and we will see some fantastic new creations.
R.I.P Harris Glenn Milstead (Divine) 🥀
Went top 10 in Australia. Lots of cowbells and claps...very 80s hi nrg. A classic!
Always loved this song, check out her other stuff, I love 'Walk Like A Man', also check out Hazell Dean, she is Hi-NRG Queen, especially 'Who's Leaving Who', 'Back In My Arms', 'Searchin'
Thank you for doing my suggestion!! Glad you like it so much!! x Donn
And Dereck aproved!! woohoo!!
I love divine. That man had some serious moves. I'm a 45 year old woman who gets all hot & bothered by him.
I’m worried for you. His name was Harris Milstead and he got up to some depraved stuff. Including eating real dog crap in the film Pink Flamingoes. Now I’m sure they could have cooked up some fake shit for him but he went with the real stuff. The mind boggles at what else he got up to if he could do that. There you are hopefully cured. I do love the song though
@@personalcheeses8073 I already knew all that. Divine was a performances artist who also hung around within a very specific scene during that era. I've been a fan for over 30 years.
What was the fastest music of its time and they gave it to Divine
She can barely move!
Divine, John Waters, Baltimore, SAW production (very You spin me round vibes), high NRG dance/clubs, fun, irony, drags, so 80's and so good to dance on ! 😂 But Aids spreading all over the world that will change a lot of things the next years...

I LOVE this song and so does everyone who has ever been treated like crap. It has always been one of my favorites. Great voice, great song.
Love you reacted to this! Divine is an absolute icon I knew I loved her before I loved myself!!
London Pride 1985. Divine is etched on my memory performing this on top of a barge sailing up the river Thames. Having loved her in the John Waters movies it was a real treat.
That was amazing, it's on UA-cam somewhere!!
LOVE Divine! Saw him in concert once, what an awesome show!
Saw Divine several times! When he performed at the Hippodrome in London he came up from under the stage on a hydraulic lift thing, on the back of a baby elephant screaming “meet my husband” 😮😊

Saw Divine live in the 80s and met her too; a warm character and show was a trip xxx
You must hear the 12" version. Most 80 disco music also came out in a longer 12" version which have awesome intro's
I agree with you, its so simple and so
good performed. Divine was amazing as a performer and as a person in private life.
I love Divine
I love Divine but I wasn't sure who was the bigger Queen here, her or Derek.
Love his music. He was in the first Hair spray movie with Ricki Lake.
Thank you for appreciation on this song love your channel keep up the great work Hun love ya

Saw Devine with Grace Jones in the 80’s in Detroit and it still is one of the best!! RIP Divine.. always were and always be!!
One of my all time favourite dance tracks
This is from the Australian tv show Countdown which was very influential in the 70s/80s and yes he was lip syncing obviously lol I love Divine
and of course recorded on videotape in mono sound, hence the average quality

Great song!
Yes!
Love Divine !!! RIP Glenn ! Pink Flamingos 👍👍👍
Divine was without a doubt one of the greatest High Energy artists!!!
Divine is D I V I N E! What an entrance!
Love the Metallic Arp Sound, So Good.. with that classic sound from SAW (Stock Aitken & Waterman)
"I don't think she is singing live!" So many things are not what they pretend to be in this video. LOL
Always loved this. Just sold my vinyl copy
merci dereck , i love divine when i was young and also now!!! thank's

This is awesome. A couple of years ago, I saw a documentary about him, it was so interesting. Love the way he is in character. A true showman.
Oh God! It's like Mum cleaned under your bed as a teenager in the 70/early80's and found a LOT more about you than you ever would tell...
The cow bells are very similar to "You spin me round"...(same year and producers)
Stock aitken and waterman production.
Same style as dead or alive you spin me round
Dead Or Alive are better!

John Waters the Director is a genius!
Native Love is the best.
9:04 lol at the Vaselines. 😂😂😂
Kinky Boots is such a great musical! Music and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper. Maybe you can react to some performances?

You have to listen to her version of ...walk like a man , if you like the sounds in this song you will definitely like walk like a man
You should check out some of Devine's/Jon Walter's movies. Their masterpiece was a movie called, "Pink Flamingos". But be prepared to be outraged!!!!
Divine's biggest hit was "Native Love"
Actually it was this song, and charted highest in Australia, where this was filmed, on the Melbourne based music show "Countdown", in the Spring of '84, around Divi's 39th birthday. Divi caused a bit of stir...
Maybe in states but this was Divine's only Top-20 hit in UK and his biggest European hit overall.
The thought of peoples reaction in 1984 ;)
Not everybody had seen 'Pink Flamingos' (1972) and 'Polyester' (1981) etc. *lol*
