Malcolm McLaren Deep In Vogue
written by: Malcolm McLaren/David Lebolt INTRODUCING LOURDES & WILLIE NINJA This has got to be a special tribute to the houses of New York Le Beija, Extravaganza, Magnifique, St. Laurent, Omni, Ebony, Dupree. In my black tights just throwing shade Doing this dance that some queen made I remember the first time I saw it, Told my brother to put me up on it, It wasn't easy no 1, 2, 3 Took a long time to learn to feel free But here I am Vogueing pretty In some club deep in this city Deep in Vogue, Deep in Vogue Imagine runway modelling, in freeze frame At the ball that's what they call Vogueing Vogueing is a challenge dance Instead of fighting you take it out on the dance floor 10!, 10!, 10!, 10!, 10!, 10!, are there anymore! Sometimes on a legendary night Like the closing of the Ôgarage When the crowd is calling down the spirits Listen, and you will hear all the houses that walked there before'* Deep in Vogue, Deep in Vogue The House of Extravaganza the House of Dupree Who the hell are they? They're nobody, except when they're in that little ballroom *Excerpted from Chi Chi Valenti "Nations" ©1988 Details Magazine
