Why was Peter Allen so into maracas?

He looked like an idiot shaking them in sequined pants.

Bless his hairy little chest.

You had to be there. Back in the day, he did not look like an idiot. His shows were a blast and he was an immensely gifted performer/songwriter.

Because, OP, when his baby smiles at him he goes to Rio De Janeiro... to do the samba, and La Bamba. He's a salsa fellow.

(Not to get personal🤭) but was he actually ever “in” Liza?

Could it be related to a testicle fetish?

For the hell of it I watched one of his recorded concerts on YouTube. It was the most flamboyant, gay spectacle I’ve ever seen. I have never seen any mainstream performer act that stereotypically gay in my life!

Wait? He was gay?

So, are you pissed or something because he never consulted you before he started his musical career? Idiot.

"I Go To Rio" is a great campy song.

Another great campfest is "Bicoastal" which is one of the gayest songs ever.

I think he wanted to ensure people knew he was đź’Ż friend of Dorothy flamer.

R4, I WAS there. He looked like an idiot.

He was shakin' his money maker. Others may have gone there, Elvis the pelvis, Tom Jones...but Peter RATTLED when he shimmied.

He must have been the Australian Liberace. Naive breeders just cluelessly enjoying the colorful show.

Maracas were a thing.

This (Spirit - I Got a Line on You) came into my YouTube feed.

There are maybe 20 men on stage, at least 2 of which are playing maracas, ONLY.

One of the YouTube comments:

[quote] 3 Maraca Players 3 Cowbell 5-6 Drummers 13 Guitars 2 Basses 2-3 Keyboards , you can’t go wrong ….

Anyway, this song required maybe 4 guys on stage. It's an uncomplicated power rock song, is how I'd describe it.

Maybe his handler thought it might make it look like he had muscle tone in his arms?
