This is my favorite song about gay male prostitution. It was produced by Alessandro Zanni in 1984 and was Ken Laszlo's first record. Zanni produced a lot of my favorite italo hits including those by Baby's Gang, Hipnosis, Cyber People, and Koto. The strange subject matter and the non-decipherable beginning give a lot of charm to a well produced textbook italo-pop track. This is the original remix on Memory Records. There is also a cheesed out US remix out there that is a little too macho.

Ken Laszlo - Hey Hey Guy

The thrift store is always a good place to find rare gems, but it is an even better place to find something unlistenable. You can get a feel and actually make crates of records that were likely donated from a single source. You will get your Chrystal Gale and Ronnie Millsap fans, and then our hip-hoppers who tried to be scratch DJs in the early 90's. Once I see that promo 12" from T.K. Disco, ZYX, or Butterfly records I hope I will find a treasure trove of records that one gay unkle decided to finally donate. What is more likely is getting a face full of dust and touching record jackets that are soaked in urine and eaten by rats. Or sweet album covers but no record, or thrashed records that are unplayable. I found all of the above today, but for $3 I left with some great vinyl. Among the six records I bought was a 6 track Italo comp from the label Mobile Disco Records in the Philippines. It isn't the best quality recorded vinyl, but there are some some cute lovable tracks on it. Here are a couple of tunes.
