The first time I heard Dennis Parker’s “Like An Eagle”, you think “nice bit of disco cheese” — nifty enough to get a re-edit by Todd Terje last year, and a banning from the 2006 CBS Top 100 (!). But it gets better and better…

Bananas. It’s like one of the baddies in Superman II put on a bucket of fake tan and did a kilo of coke. from the YouTube comments: ‘Jesus, even the eagle is gay. This RULES.’

Now it turns out that he was a porn star to boot, under the name of Wade Nichols — ‘his first adult role was in the 1975 film Exploring Young Girls. He followed with films such as Summer of Laura, My Sex-Rated Wife, Marishino Cherries, and John Derrick’s Love You. Nichols also appeared in the 1975 adult gay film Boynapped!.’

um, blimey!

Update: hahaha, it appears a certain anonymous disco edit king has chosen Wade Nichols as a nom de plume for a RVNG OF THE NRDS re-edit of “On The Road Again” by Canned Heat. osm!
