Sex sex sex. I’m afraid to admit it, but I am oddly and sexually attracted to Gary Glitter. Maybe not the real-world-child-molesting-Paul Francis Gadd, but the 1970s stage persona of Gary Glitter. He was so hot and scary, a sublime combination. He might as well be Lady Gaga’s dead-beat dad.
This song recently came to my attention when I re-watched The Runaways. It comes on when you first meet Dakota Fanning’s stage presence at an LA club, ”Pretending that you’re oh so shy”. The whole soundtrack was actually pretty fitting. I especially loved the use of the Stooges’ “I wanna be your dog” during the Cherie Currie and Joan Jett kissing scene. It was so stylized. loved it! I was actually really impressed with Kristen Stewart’s performance, while I was not-so-impressed by Dakota Fanning playing a really cracked-out-whore???
Anyway, this song is sex! And it’s when he asks the obvious, ‘do you want to touch’ that I’m with the whole crowd, and I’m like, oh well I’m going to hell, so “yeah!”
