I was part of the 'scene' wherein gay/straight/whatever artists/performers/creators came together bitd - punk/trash/new wave/groundbreaking/hi or lo art & culture all coming together in an explosion that widened the diversity that had grown in the '70s. I was close to Baltimore & at one point drank outside a nu wave D.C. club with Edith the Egg Lady (from a brown paper bag, of course) - & more...
That must have been so outrages and shocking for American tv then, but good on Letterman for pushing the boundaries. I adored Divine from the first time I saw him in Pink Flamingos and then discovered the earlier movies and have all the music he released and got to see him live once. Gone to soon.
My brother killed himself, ate and smoked marijuana, and at a time his body couldn't handle it and according to Wikipedia he had sex with a porn actor who was HIV positive called Leo Ford
Absolutely fabulous and hilarious. The way Divine shakes and shimmies is so sassy and camp and hysterical - the best dancing I've ever seen by a man in drag!
I wanted to use this song my first time doing karaoke. No one even knew who the hell Divine was lol. I live in the Midwest, so I was not surprised. When I vacationed in CA I went to a really rad goth/punk bar that was doing karaoke the next night. And did I have any better luck? NO.😖 I refuse to ever participate in that nonsense unless I can belt out: 🫧☆♡"I'm CHEAP CHEAP"!!!☆♡🫧
omg just discovered this when someone posted it as a comment on twitter to meghan mccain. it's the best!!! can't stop watching it now! Divine was completely Divine!
divine was queen of punk rock before punk was born was funny made you laugh and her songs were good psychotherapy especially when you were love sick or broke up with your boyfriend got me out of my depression
Amazing performance , she always rocked the club scene, her single “Born to be Cheap” a 45 was the first release for Wax Trax Records in 1981, Harris Glenn Milstead, was a Drag Queen, recording artist & film star ... (-_-)
The funny thing is is Gen Xers will automatically call Divine a she, but the little snots running about on tiktok? Nope. Divine is a national treasure.
This is the most punk rock thing I've ever seen.
The Pink Pilgrim slap a republican sticker on her and it would be the epitome of punk

Divine and John Waters were pioneers of Punk, before Punk was even made! 💖

What’s weird is, it wasn’t shocking at all. Nobody cared.
but they cared about Madonnas music videos@@JimOblon
My brother killed himself, ate and smoked marijuana, and at a time his body couldn't handle it and according to Wikipedia he had sex with a porn actor who was HIV positive called Leo Ford
@@JimOblon Ennen oli paremmin.
In those days we didn't care about Drag or Race. We pretty much just got along.
Love the hommage on Liz Taylors hairstyle!😂Cheap cheap,i was born to be cheap cheap..RIP Divine❤
Absolutely fabulous and hilarious. The way Divine shakes and shimmies is so sassy and camp and hysterical - the best dancing I've ever seen by a man in drag!
He wasn't a transvestite or Drag Queen, he was just a permomatic actor, he was a man
This is pure punk rock.
Fuck yes it is! 😎
Words cannot express how much I love Divine!
DIVINE, the only void she left us, how I miss her, Ilove DIVINE for ever
I found myself absolutely LOVING this video. I have actually saved it to my list of "Favorites". Divine is just that.
Me too! So legit Divine forever
There is only ONE DIVINE!!!!
I WAS BORN TO BE CHEAP! Love it.

If you gave this a thumbs down there is something really, really wrong with you.
Nobody did it better! Divine!

all iconicness aside this is just a damn well played and performed song~!!!!!
Gawd, I love this!
Rest in peace beautiful Divine! We miss you
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!
Divine que Deus a tenha,sou seu fã aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷.
What a performance 🎭
To those lamenting the lack of a Bette Midler duo, take comfort that Bathhouse Bette knew she was never in Divine’s league & never would measure up.
what a star
divine was queen of punk rock before punk was born was funny made you laugh and her songs were good psychotherapy especially when you were love sick or broke up with your boyfriend got me out of my depression
I love that laugh omg
One of the best, a national treasure (if you're american)
So good.
Ok this is one of my favorite songs from her
Thanx for the great upload it really rocks! RIP to a super talent
Real live...I love it !
Amazing performance , she always rocked the club scene, her single “Born to be Cheap” a 45 was the first release for Wax Trax Records in 1981, Harris Glenn Milstead, was a Drag Queen, recording artist & film star ... (-_-)
Real
Out there
Sensual
I was also born to be cheap. Divine is lovely
I wish I could have seen Divine live.
Saw him in about 1984. Just him with backing tracks, a brilliantly funny and filthy narrator and could really sing. One of the best I ever saw.
Wow what an experience. I wasn't born until 85 so I only got to hear the legends 💞
Fantastic!!!
ooooooooo YES real punk rock!!!!!!!!!!!
Divine... way ahead of her time.
Siempre te amaré divane
Yassssssss Queen
Unique !!!
HAHA Gold! Divine the original!
БОЖЕСТВЕННАЯ !!!
DIVINE IS PUNK !!!
The best of the queens
The Empress of Drag. no one can match not even Rupaul.
c est la plus belle
Fuck Yes!!!!!!
Like or hate the music (I preferred her dance music), you have to respect the artist. No compromise, kicking down the doors to America's living rooms.
I miss weird
Oh man, me too
❤❤❤
Paul Shaffer enjoying himself really makes the video lol
He was born in 1945 he would be 79 years old if he was alive today
God bless it's gono gone, RIP

Nikocado Avocado only dreams of being this terrific 🙌🏽🤘🏽🤟🏽👏🏽👌🏽💋
This scared me...literally
When the late show's actually needed to be LATE.
was there something wrong with the microphone , at the start it appears divine is turning it either on or off
Дрэг-квин.Харрис Милстед проект Бобби Орландо, синтипоп, HI-NRG...RIP

Divine died too soon

Debbie's looking rough.
This sounds like it could have been an Iggy Pop song
He couldn't sing fr toffee, but I loved him to bits
Ты тоже ищешь комменты на русском языке?)
