Les Boys is a character piece like many others by him. It’s about drag dancing in a Munich bar. Nobody would bat an eyelid if it was about a female stripper.

I think it fits the making movies theme. Every song is about people acting out, striving to match what they yearn with what they need.

Absolutely, b-side would be fine.

Making Movies is one of my alltime favourite albums, especially TOL and R&J are masterpieces.
These songs never get old no matter how many times you have listened to them.

Exactly. I love all the songs, a little less Les Boys :)

And my favorite line:

...Rollergirl don’t worry DJ play the movies all night long...
