Original Cast – Dirty Words 1974
(MP3 NOT SAFE FOR WORK)

Earl Wilson Jr. must have been on a one man mission to make sex totally unappealing when he wrote his “sexual musical” in 1973.

“Let My People Come” is as dated as people-fucking-around-and-not-getting-AIDS but thanks to the powers of vinyl we can still enjoy the “theatrical emancipation” of more pleasant times, including such classics as “I’m Gay”, “Linda, Georgina, Marilyn & Me” and “The Cunnilingus Champion Of Co. C”.

I was going to upload the solo number “Come In My Mouth” but I think the googlestorm it would incur would be detrimental to the site’s focus. Instead I’ve recorded “Dirty Words” for you to listen to. You may want to keep a sexual partner nearby whilst listening in case you get the urge to do someone.

The blurb on the back says the production “touches upon all forms of human sexuality in the disguise of a thought-provoking, suggestive, bitingly satirical, outrageously refreshing, innocent and entertaining childish romp”.
If nothing else, it certainly bites.

The confirmation that it’s an anti-sex musical comes below…

“The message: People are sexual, if only because they are human and mortal, and if they understand and deal with that fact they will be able to move on to something else, something more spiritual.”

I’m off to have an outrageously refreshing cold shower.
