They play The Stooges, and The Sex Pistols, and Thin Lizzy and The Smiths. It's great. Only today they played 'Macho Man' by The Village People. I almost choked and fell off the running machine. Still, great video - check it out if you can. ;-) The gym I currently attend is different from ANY of the gyms I attended back in the UK - it’s different because the videos they play aren’t pornographic, lesbo fantasy, offensive, euro pop shite.

There were four of us, the friend whose birthday it was had got the single, so we went about playing it over and over, reinacting that video. We'd take in turns to play those four equally vital roles; the lover, the angel of death, the dying man and the life-support machine. If you're regularly falling asleep to this video, isn't there a danger of all those adverts having a subliminal effect and you waking up wanting to buy the latest products from four years ago?
