I Was Made For Dancing - Leif Garrett (1978)

4th grade me loved this song.

Never heard that played in the clubs in 1978 to 1979, wonder why?

That's one boypussy whose appeal I did not understand.

He wore spandex pants. Not much to display.

My big sister (at age 13) would blast this throughout the house.

The teenyboppers of 1972 wet their pussies over the andryogynous David Cassidy.

The teenyboppers of 1978 wet their pussies over the andryogynous Leif Garrett.

David Cassidy did not resemble a neurodivergent milkmaid attempting to lick piss off a thistle.

I remember Leif singing this song at the end of a Wonder Woman episode

Well, I like the song very much.

It was a fun, catchy pop song, what do you expect?

Did Dirty Uncle Bill Cosby consider a roofie rape of pretty Leif? Bill mentions Leif's "small breasts."

He was/is a mess. Not gay though, in spite of those dreadful video clips.

Right, R7. David Cassidy resembled a 13 year old girl.

He was very much of his time. He looked adorable and sexy in his teen idol peak, which seemed to have lasted six months.

David Cassidy had immense charm. Why all the hate?

They both crashed hard after that early fame. I still feel sad about David Cassidy.

The Leif Garrett Special.

Every week during the 1970s at grocery store checkout lines, he’d be on those “Tiger Beat” and related teen magazine covers along with Maureen McCormick, Donny Osmond, Cassidy, Kristy McNichol and her brother, and all the like—and even then as a teenaged gayling, I never understood who or what the fcuk he was supposed to be famous for!

It’s a fun slice of cheese song. I didn’t realize it made the Top 10.

He sure did flame out quickly.

He started out as a child actor and I thought he was pretty good in his brief role in the outsiders.

His sister played Dodi on My Three Sons.

He and Shaun Cassidy, they were nationwide pinup-boy for white teenyboppers. Then they plummeted to zero once the 80s kicked in. At least Shaun tried to do this & that low-key in the theater world. Leif just collapsed. On multiple levels. I remember when Andy Gibb OD’d, some people were saying Leif would be next.

There wasn’t much to this boy. He never would have happened if he didn’t have big lips.

He seems to be having trouble standing up these days.

It’s hilarious how they’re supposedly playing live with no horn section present.

Well, keep going R6! What's after that?

The teenybopper pussies remained woefully dry, r22.

Damn. I was enjoying that R23.

R6- Neither David Cassidy or Leif Garrett gave us homos hard ons. It puzzles me to this day that the girl boppers of 1972 and 1978 wet their pussies over these two.

The song sounds Bee Gee-ish.

There he is officer. That's the one that made me gay.

By 1983 girls were wetting their pussys over androgynous Boy George.

These jeans were made for prancing.

Speak for yourself. This little gayling discovered the joy of self- pleasuring from looking at David.

R30 David Cassidy had SOME curb appeal but I hope you're not going to tell me you were HOT IN THE PANTS for Leif Garrett.

I always wondered what happened to Adore.

Ha, R7, perfect description. I HATED him, and all the white girls in my junior high school were in love with him; I never got the appeal, and would turn the station when I heard him on the radio/TV.

Fitting in the pic @OP he's a dead ringer for the equally hated (by me) Sydney Sweeney. Dull bovine-eyed mouth breather.

Leif Leif Alone!!!!!

Speak for yourself. When I was 14 Lief Garrett was everything.

He dated Justine Bateman. No wonder it was all downhill from there.

Hold my beer, Air Supply.

In the late 70s it was Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett and Andy Gibb with Andy winning by a country mile.

He is an absolute mess of a person. Absolute MESS.

His VH1 “Behind The Music” is shocking in that it reveals a complete loss of character. He was high or drunk or both and was driving with his best friend. There was an accident. Friend was left a paraplegic. Leif hadn’t seen him since the accident (years and years and years before). Friend was willing to meet with and forgive Leif but Leif couldn’t do it. He’s an absolute waste.
