Eldergays, please tell me about the group "Skatt Brothers "?

Were they supposed to be a heterosexual version of the Village People ?

The shirtless brunet with the mustache makes me feel kinda tingly, like when we climb the rope in gym class.

never even heard of them before! but that image for the video looks "ahem" very very enticing..

Well, they certainly dance like straight dudes....

This beefcake is fruitcake. Dick loving, ass tickling, feather boa waving queers! I never seen gays try so hard to look straight.

It's weird to think these men would be in their 80s today. (If they survived the 80s! Yes, I mean the AIDS.)

I can only tell you about Jon Mikl Thor.

This was probably a male strip review in the south. As a way to promote they recorded a "Village People-esque" type song. Women going to see male strippers became all the rage in the 80's. They would even have these guys go on talk shows (Donahue, Jenny Jones, even Geraldo) pandering to the hausfraus in middle america. Of course, I loved it as a teen, because it was the closest thing to gay porn (or any porn!) that I would see until I was 22/23.

Apparently the OP's video is a "misrepresentation of the band" in which none of the true band members appear. Models were hired by marketing executives to imitate the Village People.

Here's what the band really looks like:

R5 what the fuck is that????? Everyone in the audience is so uncomfortable! It's weird, because it's a trainwreck, but at the same time, he looks good, he can sing, and he's entertaining...?

He's exploiting his own body and that probably got in the way of his career. He's a little too "extra" for 1976. But the gimmick of being unclothed would work better today.

But if the musicians weren't in on the Village People impersonation, I don't see why they would write queer as fuck anthems like "Life at the Outpost," or why their "biggest hit" and "cult classic" "Walk the Night" is about a rough sex BDSM guy.

Holy shit, that Thor guy is still hustling!

Sadly, entertainers don't know when to throw in the towel. Chasing fame instead of living life. SMH.

Well, r9, Jon Mikl Thor went on to tear up the '80s with his beefcake schtick combined with heavy metal. He also did a few dirt-cheap horror movies.

There is a fabulous documentary about him and he has plenty of music you can listen to!

I would absolutely attend a Thor concert.

Or the Skatt Bros. Or the Village People!

Did Al Pacino's character have sex with men in the movie "Cruising"?

(And I can't believe James Franco conceived a whole story (indie film) around the gay bar scene in Cruising!)

Walk the Night is actually a good song!

I can't remember. I think Al Pacino just flirted with and teased the gay men in CRUISING, because his character was a straight detective undercover.

Why did they choose the awful name "Skatt Bros."? Did they think this would make them popular with gay men into scat?

by Anonymousreply 19September 14, 2019 6:49 PM

r19 It didn't mean that back then. Scat was a singing style. Where they don't sing discernible words. "Shoobie doobie doo wap." Ella Fitzgerald was the most famous scat singer. There was even an actor name Scat Man Coruthers.

And what about "Midnight Companion," about a trucker looking for a "midnight companion" from smiling hitchhikers and motorbikers at a truck stop?

NO, THAT'S NOT GAY AT ALL

Their song at the OP for some reason reminds me of "Cool Rider" and the other songs from "Grease 2."

did that "THOR" character ever do any sex scenes in his low budget flicks?

#6 i so so hear you! i would make sure i would be sick that day so i couldn't go to school looking at the tv guide for the coming week when EVERY daytime show from donahue to geraldo to sally jessie raphael and so on would have male strippers on, from the chippendales to lesser known groups.. pretty racy stuff for daytime tv especially in the 80's.. i mean if they showed the footage back then like they did of strippers literally in thongs and close up of their asses and bulges today on daytime tv? i don't see how they would get away with it now!.

Is " Thor " a natural blonde ?

by Anonymousreply 25September 14, 2019 10:25 PM

r24 I used to tape those episodes and rewatch them later and jerk off, too! I was 13. My tape was labeled Johnny Carson. I taped an episode of Geraldo that was a valentine lingerie fashion show for couples. There was a guy wearing silk boxers, and nothing underneath them and he got a full tent-pitching erection on stage and had to stand there for the whole segment with his dick hard!!!! He just proudly owned it. I watched that tape so many times it became so worn out that images got all distorted. Alas, I had to toss it!

Can you believe 13 year old gaylings have hardcore gay porn at their fingertips, today!

R26! your my man friend! lol! me too, did the same thing, and luckily i STILL have videotapes from way back in the day that i've now moved to dvds... remember when strippers had to be gorgeous unlike today! and as i stated previously pretty raunchy stuff they showed on the daytime talk shows back then that i don't see how they would be able to get away with it now in our PC world.. THANK GOD for vcr's and now dvd player and recorders!..

the 80's and 90's were the pinnacle of male eye candy shown on tv that's for sure! male strippers on nearly every week on daytime talk shows, bodybuilding shown on tv, fitness workout shows of sexy built men, american and international gladiators shows, college football where the guys would wear only jockstraps under their spray painted on pants and if they wore white pants, jockstrap straps and ass skin would be seen as clear as day, various tv shows and programs were guys would be seen in speedos, movies like "where the boys are 84", he-man" "the barbarians", "hunk" and so on and so on!..

thankfully some of this stuff you can see now on youtube...
