Vanity 6 - 'Nasty Girl' (1982)
I'd never heard this track until Inaya Day released a dancy version of it in 2004. I loved that version....until I heard the original that is. I was told back then that the band was created by Pop God, Prince. He chose his then girlfriend Susan Moonsie and 2 others to be in the group. It amused me that the '6' in the title stands for the amount of boobs in the group! Very saucy indeed! I love the classic 80's synth sounds thrown in every now and again, and with the naughty lyrics it was an early vision of 'Girl Power'!

As a flight dispatcher at Heathrow, I am expected to liaise with flight crews and give them the paperwork they need after meeting the flight. On a particular day a few years ago, I was on a KLM flight, and I even remember the captains name, 'Captain Doktor' which obviously made me laugh. After returning to the flight during the turnaround, I wanted to see if the crew were ready for boarding, and I heard loud music from the end of the jet bridge. As I approached I could tell it was Vanity 6's Nasty Girl! Captain Doktor was playing his ipod over the PA system and seriously loud too. KLM crews have a good reputation for being fun and laid back but this was totally new to me! The purser who was a very camp young man was making the other crew members laugh by doing some serious 80's dancing, much like the 'nasty' dancing in the music video. A little embarrassed and still trying to maintain my professionalism I just smiled, until he grabbed me and attempted to tango with me! I dropped my radio and my clip board so paperwork went all over the galley. Still it was all good, the music put everyone in a good mood and they were happy to board 10 minutes early...result!

Tulis commentsHow rude! I found the song strangely comforting, I think it's the synths, the 80's-ness of it...I don't know it was the first think I thought of. They must not have had any auditions cause apart from the girl in the middle, the others are proper buttahs!
ReplyOh and Captain Doktor....that's is brilliant!
ReplyTune Doktor...of course so obvious!
ReplySo very Prince...should have been 6.5 ... 6 tits plus him. A little tit.
Great story, you should have joined in tho'
I really like this song, for a couple of reasons.
Reply1 - it was featured in the strip club scene in Beverly Hills Cop. More than 6 on show if I remember.
2 - my brothers boss had the album and put it on a C90 with FLM by Mel & Kim on the other side. How awesome is that !! I have the tape in my possession now, but don't have a tape player on which to listen to it. Thankfully I still have the mammaries.
I also really like Drive Me Wild by the "6" which was covered most excellently by Foo Fighters a foo years back.
Very good London Scouser, i have you to thank for playing me the original of this. Keep the 80s gems coming!
