Weekend Movie: Before the internet, there was phone sex.
When HBO first came to be, they would fill time between movies with "promotional videos" that came from the record companies. MTV was not even a twinkle in a record executive's eye. The thought of suing their customers would have made them laugh. So today enjoy this retro video of the Village People's "Sex Over the Phone."
It's not exactly YMCA, and I doubt that soccer moms, football fans and conservative republicans will ever do this Village People song at any public event. So if you ever doubt that they were gay, this "promotional film" will show you just how homo-lovin' Randy Jones and his posse were.
Is it me or does Randy Jones look YOUNGER today than he did in the 80's?

village people + 80's cheesy music video + phone sex........so pointless but funny as hell. thank you for putting this up. The only thing worse then this is the ads on tv to call in for phone sex now or even the text chatting.....that just makes me giggle. Thank you Fausto and Marc!!!

Be careful Rochelle! We'll be calling you soon and asking you "what you're wearing." ;)
This video is so bizzare trying to portray them as hetero with all these women. I'm confused.

don't worry you wouldn't want to call me; the dorky chick bent on listening to comedy cds and starting the revolution.
yeah the whole hetro thing from them is not normal and is scaring me. I guess because i always knew the village people to have gay elements to it that makes this video so much weirder. then again alot of the stuff when you look back on it is distrubing.

Glad you liked it Fausto. I saw it and thought 'Is this feast of fools worthy?' before I'd even considered whether it was funny or just plain tragic. x

No way is that Randy Jones - that's not David Hodo, either (the construction worker) - that was in 1985 and, apparently, they were both taking a break from the group. Here's a group shot from the CD cover and it's clear it's not Jones or Hodo:
