When a spoof becomes a turkey




A review of Günther´s "Pleasure Man". I don´t dare to link... 

Despite his name and his looks, Günther isn't a sleezy German pimp, but a Swedish dance artist. Of course, Günther & The Sunshine Girls (who look and act like "lesbian" porn models) are a spoof.

However, I never understood what they are making fun of, and why. MTV video clips? The joke is mostly on Günther. His music is so bad, that it becomes a turkey!

You probably have to be really drunk on Swedish hard liquor to appreciate this music (or the spoof). If you live in Sweden: Günther reminds me of Eddie Meduza with a disco beat. But Meduza was at least "the real thing". Günther is a purely artificial creation.

But then, perhaps he and his "lesbian" back-up choir can at the very least make "L Word" fans go crazy?
