Look if we don't make the shiny helmet joke someone else is going to

JLS may have put boybands back at the top of the charts in the UK but we might not yet be ready for all-German, all-gay boyband The Village Boys. Mainly because they appear to be Literally Quite Terrible.

As TAFKAP on the Popjustice forums sum­mar­ises: "German Gay-interest TV
channel "TIMM" was looking for a new Village People-type of openly Gay
boyband. They're signed with Universal and will release their debut
single, a cover of the Kylie/PWL classic, in August. This is the 2nd
attempt at a modern-day, openly homo­sexual boyband from Germany after
Marilyn's Boys flopped dis­astrously in 2002."

TAFKAP's post reminded us of a video link another reader sent over last week which didn't make much sense then but makes (a little bit) more sense now — it's from the auditions, and features a certainly-memorable version of Scissor Sisters' 'I Don't Feel Like Dancing'. Watch out for the bit where he starts chan­nel­ing La Roux…

The above-mentioned Marilyn's Boys, you may remember, were respons­ible for this version of 'Hot Stuff'.

Thank you, Germany.
