This song came out when I met my husband Gareth in 1986 - it was played everywhere. He was so macho working in construction at the time & 9 yrs younger than me ! We were together for 34 yrs until I lost him to cancer in2020 at 58 yrs old. This song takes me right back there to that time. I love you Gar & I miss you love.
For those who might be interested, I directed this video - on a shoe-string - in my London flat... It used to be on my channel but, alas, SME have blocked it world-wide... Great track, a fun day's shooting - and without this video, which Simon got screened on Saturday morning kids' tv - it would probably have not been a hit... it was for it's third release that we made the video...
Why so many people nasty about Sinetta? Actually think she looked beautiful back then, even now 30 years later she's still a good-looking woman..... and great dance floor tune
A genuinley wonderful lady. I met Sinitta and her wonderful children at Ascot (Father Christmas b.t.w). A truely lovely lady and children so polite, intelligent and perfect manners.
And bam just like that, Simon Cowell's first phenomenon was born. All these years, I had no idea until now that this was the first artist he ever signed, under the defunct Fanfare Records in 1985
And he claims he had the chance to sign Kylie Minogue after her - but how much that is true we’ll never know. We all know how much Simon Cowell likes to inflate his ego…
I love simple disco/dance/pop songs. Don't want deeper meanings or political lyrics. When I want serious stuff, I'll watch the news. In music I want fun, happy, emotional, sad songs with beautiful melodies
As David Sukenick wrote: Determined to make Sinitta a star, Simon Cowell released the single a second time and a third time - which is when I made this video on a Sunday afternoon in my flat - for zero budget as a favour to Simon and Sinitta - it got shown on Saturday morning kids' shows as a result of which it finally broke into the Top 10 and hit the Number 2 position. See more Sinitta on my channel R4949.
I've never heard of her but today I read an article which discuss all Brad Pitt's epic romance and he was her boyfriend for 2 years in the late 80’s. Wow!
OMG I loved this record (and toy boy lol).......I was 12 then n still love it, I dont care what people think, this was part of a couple of years in my life that was still so innocent n loved dancing to this at "discos" x
Brings back great memories from 1986. This song was popular in the straight discos in Scotland at the time. I bought the song on a 45 to take back to the states.
I used to read Record Mirror back around then and it included a hi-NRG chart that basically listed the tunes that were big on the London gay scene, and it also had a Scottish dance chart. The crossover between the two charts was remarkable. Was everyone in Scotland sniffing poppers like the London scenesters?
I ain't heard this for ages and I just thought I would play it to take me back to the good old days! She was a pretty woman and probably still is she was fit! A typical stock aitken waterman production from the late 80s 🤠🥳🥳🥳🥳
It's quite amazing that it sounds just like the later SAW productions, but they actually had nothing to do with it. That whole hi-NRG gay disco sound was their archetype for the string of big hits they had after this.
I remember this song and it brings me memories from my childhood. I was happy listening to 80's music, and this was an example. No matter the lyrics, the music itself makes me dream. So good!
Sinitta is such a talent she sings from the heart and has such a vast range of styles that she sings and she does all of them perfectly and always adds a special bit of her in all her songs and makes them come to life thank you for posting this great video of a great singing star
I had been to Shakes nightclub in Hamilton, New Zealand once - after a night at poly tech ... it was a funny night cos the DJ was a hard out heavy rocker and he had really long blonde hair and he was shaking his head around to the rock music and his hair was Swishing and swooping from one side to the other ... looked like Guns and Roses or Van Halen or something ... but it did look odd when he did the same thing whilst playing 'So Macho' by Sinitta !!!
I love this song was in UK Ireland Spain at time it came out couldn't escape it how would Simon Cowell rate sinitta and so macho on British idol lol she was her girl
We seemed to have this tune and play it in the club's circuit for ages before it became a hit, it seemed like a year on demo before everyone was asking for it, cruising was the other we use to run side by side still class today.
It was released three times as a single before it finally crossed over from the London gay clubs (and Scottish discos) to the kids that put records in the national pop charts. This video (made very cheaply with Simon Cowell's "last 500 quid") was for the third release.
@@AutPen38 I did actually meet Sinitta in a club called Olivers at the time but So Macho I was playing a year and a half before it went big which you just explained why.
The single was released in March 1986 but stalled around the lower reaches of the UK Top 40 singles chart. Determined to make Sinitta a star, Simon Cowell released the single a second time and a third time, where it finally broke into the Top 10 and hit the Number 2 position.

Long time since I heard this song.. and that I mean this is my first time. I live in the states and we never got cheesy music like that here. DeBarge what's the best. So are The pointer sisters. Oh and Billy ocean.
Can't believe that she's one of the presents on x-factor she's definietely better than some of that show winners (especially better than dalton harris, ugh)
How relevant the lyrics to this song is in today's 🤡 world "I don't want a seven stone weakling, Or a Boy who thinks he's a Girl" Remember that this song came out in the 80's I used to hear this song when we went on holiday to Pontin's lol it was ace.

Cowell owes this girl everything. Without her, he'd be nothing.
B/S she's lived of Cowell 4 yrs,
That's because he knows he owes her everything.
You don't think he's done it out of the kindness of his heart do you?
I think it’s the same for her, she owes him everything too

Brings back great memories from 1986. This song was popular in the straight discos in Scotland at the time. I bought the song on a 45 to take back to the states.
I thought it would be popular in both straight and gay discos!

The crossover between the two charts was remarkable. Was everyone in Scotland sniffing poppers like the London scenesters?
I literally only listen to this song because it’s satisfying to have someone describe my type for me without having to do it myself
I ain't heard this for ages and I just thought I would play it to take me back to the good old days! She was a pretty woman and probably still is she was fit! A typical stock aitken waterman production from the late 80s 🤠🥳🥳🥳🥳
