Well I heard this version sung here on SS I simply had to give it a try.....Totally different from the Cher version... Just to say I had a very good friend back up in Yorkshire who was a drag Queen and I use to often go to his gigs...it was hilarious...I was his dresser back stage... I also love watching Ru Paul and his Drag race I am a huge fan of that....I tell you what ladies those queens put me in the shade with how they look sometimes wow they look so real...I know they often over do the make-up but ya gotta give em credit where its due...when they can look fantastic and dance around doing the splits....I am often rolling about laughing.....love it!!!
