Given the time this was produced the video had to be heteronormative and only subliminally homoerotic= commercial success. This is a reminder that there has in fact now been some progress on that front.

The PSB were my go to band as an off the path quirky gay teen. Chris and Neil are still both inspirations to me. They sang about what I was living through / with. SO many amazing Pet Shop Boys that are simply wonderful. A great newer song to listen to is "The Pop Kids". It harks back to the death of rock and the rise of Pop. Neil was a pop journalist of a massive teen magazine called Smash Hits, and decided he could make better pop music than many other artists. They did!!!! Big love B and lots of love as always from Ireland.

"Domino Dancing" is my all-time Pet Shop Boys favorite song. This music video also exists in extended form with the extended remix of the song and the extended remix is pretty Amazing : with vinyl scratches and insane effects on both the vocals and the music. A must hear AND a must-see. I was young and maybe naïve when the song was released because I didn't notice back then the homo-eroticism in the music video but since a lot of people see it, I really must have been naïve. But it is rumored that the Pet Shop Boys became less popular in the U.S. because of the homo-eroticism of this music video. They only could came back on the top of the U.S. dance charts only 5 years later with their Village People cover of "Go West".

You should totally listen to their album "Introspective." I think they're at their best when they make club bangers and Introspective is only those: 6 12-inch length songs (like 45 minutes). This song is on it but the album version is 7 minutes.

For those wondering, the meaning behind Domino Dancing is a lot less grim than some are saying. Chris Lowe had a friend the two used to play dominoes with. After he won, which was often, he would dance like a moron.

@mattpotter8725 Жыл бұрын
That may well have been the inspiration for the song, I'm not doubting you one bit, but the way it was taken and moved on in the lyrical content of the song and the video is a lot deeper. I don't think in its finished version it is just about two guys playing dominoes and how one guy acted after winning, but it's about a relationship, or relationships in general and how they can build you up and knock you down. The best songs can have multiple meanings anyway and take you on many journeys over many different listenings over many years imo.

The song came out during the AIDS epidemic (1988) so it took on rather sombre over tones for me. 'Watch Them All Fall Down' meant watch them play around then watch them all fall like dominos (die of AIDS). Domino Dancing? Still always liked the song despite it all.
@LadyAudi2 ай бұрын
Have you read the lyrics? This isn't about AIDS or homosexuality. I don't know why, I don't know how I thought I loved you, but I'm not sure now I've seen you look at strangers too many times The love you want is of a, a different kind Remember when we felt the sun? A love like paradise, how hot it burned A threat of distant thunder, the sky was red And when you walked, you always turned every head watch them all fall down (All day, all day) domino dancing (All day, all day) watch them all fall down (All day, all day) domino dancing I thought that when we fought I was to blame But now I know you play a different game I've watched you dance with danger, still wanting more Add another number to the score watch them all fall down (All day, all day) domino dancing (All day, all day) watch them all fall down (All day, all day) domino dancing When you look around you wonder Do you play to win Or are you just a bad loser?

Pet Shop Boys have something like 44 Top 40 hits in the UK, and 22 Top 10s. You have a long road ahead of you, but pleasant one to be sure. They continued to make great music up to the present day, though the US dropped them starting in the early 90s. The US is weird in how faddish their musical tastes are. What was big one year, is completely dead the next. It is unfortunate because thats how one misses a lot of good music. Some of PSB's recent hits include "Love, Etc.," "Minimal," "Did You See Me Coming," "Leaving," "Vocal," "Thursday," "The Pop Kids."

This is probably one of the most interesting video reactions ive ever seen. The thing is, the story of the video is very clear, a sexy girl and two guys, with a fight in the end between the two guys because of the girl, and thats it. Of course it has a strong latin vibe and it looks like it was probably shot in Brasil, Puerto Rico or some place in here. But, you say you got a Homoerotic vibe from this, and i just dont know from where 😂😄, and also, ive seen other people saying the same as you, talking about that Homoerotic feel of the video, but i just cant see that in it. And this is amazing, because Neil Tennant said in an interview that this video, and that "homoerotic" vibe that people got from it, changed their career forever, specially in the united states, they started to be less and less played on the radios, and their popularity really started to fall, because in those days homosexuality was really uncool, it was terrible, being gay was like a social death, and the perception of the public was really negative towards anything that portrayed homosexuality in any way. It was later Madonna who pushed the big change from 1990, showing who was the lgbt community through her work. Thank you so much for reacting to this video, im glad you liked it, the song its indeed amazing ☺️🇨🇱

Always loved this song with Spanish guitar riffs in the break. It is funny to me how this video dates itself with the homoerotic displays of two bare chested GQ boys fighting over a girl in the waves, when all the Pet Shop Boys were interested in were the boys on the set. Yummy.
