Talk:Go West (song)

Unsourced, questionable statements

Excised from the article:

Peculiarly, the video was initially banned by MTV on the grounds of being misogynistic as it did not have any women in it. Despite protests from the band's management and counter-accusation of homophobia as there were plenty of other videos of all-male groups on the channel which did not have women in them, or used them in a sexually objectifiying manner, the video was re-edited to have a black female (long-time Pet Shop Boys backing singer Sylvia Mason-James) dressed as the Statue of Liberty.

I agree, when I heard this I first thought it was Dschingis Khan or something, and that the intended audience was perhaps to listen to it on x-ray plates... And they'd all be like, Niet, Go East! To Sakhalin so that you can be _ over by Shell after the Union collapses.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.117.67.12 (talk) 14:41, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Inspired by the song "There Is Nothing Like a Dame"

Is there a reliable source to back up this claim? While I have no doubt it is a Broadway chorus, the style is more like the Red Army Choir which fits perfectly with the overall theme of the PSB version. 59.167.50.63 (talk) 11:48, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Music video

The music video has nearly no connection to the LGBT society. The music video itself seems to be an irony of Gorbachev's ambitions to rebuild the Soviet Union in Western style (especially with introducing the market economy). The music video can be considered as both pro-Soviet and anti-Soviet by different viewers —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.196.183.213 (talk) 22:43, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
