Nancy Boy - Johnny Chrome and Silver

[@tomathon]

Haha! I’m actually the guy flipping the V in the crowd. One of the band drafted a bunch of us from mutual friends in the punk/ska/skinhead scene and we used to go to their gigs. Had us join the crowd shots at some studio in Manhattan one weekend in like 1995ish. We got to wear our one “costumes” which was nice. Seriously, all of them were very down to earth fellas. Shame they never really blew up.

I loved this so much when it came out; the video is great fun. The singer is Donovan Leitch, son of 60s folk pop icon Donovan (Sunshine Superman, Mellow Yellow) and on guitar is Jason Nesmith, son of Michael Nesmith of The Monkees.

And Alan Boyce was almost a member... not sure what he was going to do though.

[@ivorytower99]

Wow, thanks for the upload~! Who else remembers dancing to this one when it came out?

[@MartinHiggins1972]

Me

[@lucifersam1972]

Nancy Boy were great live.

[@RogueBoyScout]

I've been trying to find this song for 20 years!!! Thanks heaps for the post... And thank you JJJ for the good times

[@sharonchamberland7090]

Oh yeah....I betcha Brit actor Noel Fielding ( of Mighty Boosh fame) LOVED LOVED LOVED these guys! The music I heard him do reminds me of this.

[@LostwaveObsession]

I love this SO much, I still have the 7". It should have been an enormous hit. Did they inspire Walt Disco? WD give me hope that there is still good music being made, but i wish we'd had a lot more from Nancy Boy. UNDERRATED!

[@sharonchamberland7090]

Heard about these guys back in the 90s. Read an article about them in Our magazine. Thought it was interesting that a band was doing glam back in the 90 s.

[@pyenapple]

Tons of bands were doing glam in the 90s. Superdrag, Spacehog, Suede, Placebo, Jellyfish, Kinky Machine, Pulp, Rialto, even Stone Temple Pilots dipped into it. It was all over the place

[@paddygav]

Never knew there was a video for this. I loved that Sire LP, but then nothing else. Put the band back together!

[@michellesorefflefrancois6890]

Love this song.

[@catherinemarton8268]

Hey Jessie. Also Nigel and Michael 👍🎵

[@plastic-fantastic]

Great track.

[@sharonchamberland7090]

Gotta give props to these guys for doin this when glam wasn't considered cool in the 90 s. Gotta love the Brits for the cool weird shit they do with music, t.v. and such. The song IS pretty FUN. Love the name, too.

[@pyenapple]

There were tons of glam-influenced bands in the 90s. These guys were just following the Britpop pack: Suede, Placebo, Pulp, etc.

[@sharonchamberland7090]

I mean OUT magazine. It was an article about bands doing glam rock, or bringing back glam such as Psychotica.

[@djelevatorman]

great stuff

[@farrington7971]

Donovan is the shit I.just watched him on 21 jump street lol

[@oldyrl]

Thanks for this video, do you know if i can find it in 480p.

[@ohnoitisnathan6831]

This is 480p. If you can't download it as that, try using the 4K Video Downloader program.

[@oldyrl]

Thank you again for the advice it worked

[@14rnr]

Sounds like early Duran Duran apart from this dude can't sing in the style he's attempting to reach. Good to see Nigel again, I haven't seen him since he parted with the Quireboys, he's a great performer and musician.

[@MartinHiggins1972]

Nope.i disagree. This is perfection, a masterpiece

[@brookeopie]

Reminds me more of earlier XTC but more glam.

[@shaunbrown5803]

Haha the son of Donovan and sister to Ione sky singing and the guitarist is one of the monkeys kids

[@jlouis4407]

I mean most music has some redeeming value, but this…

[@MartinHiggins1972]

...is one of the greatest pop songs ever made.

@@jlouis4407 Well, it's a matter of taste, of course. And you have none.

[@freedomof76_]

This song was amazing but the video was fuckin terrible. It’s the hamminess that stopped it being massive, I’m sure. Painful.

[@dariowestern]

At least it's fun to watch. Go back to your Justin Bieber vids.
