On Monday, June 7, a new Pete Burns single, "Jack And Jill Party", was released, written and produced by Pet Shop Boys.
The song was written by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe last year. Shortly after completing it, they saw Dead Or Alive singer Pete Burns talking on the TV show, "Diners" and thought that the song would suit his voice. Coincidentally, shortly afterwards Neil Tennant bumped into Pete Burns at the London club night, Nag Nag Nag, and asked him if he'd be interested in recording the song with them.
Pete, Neil and Chris finally got together at the Pet Shop Boys' studio earlier this year and recorded the song, Pete Burns adapting some of the lyrics to suit his style.
The record is released by Pet Shop Boys label, Olde English, on CD and 12" vinyl.
There are three mixes:
1. Extended dance mix
2. Single mix
3. Instrumental
"Jack And Jill Party" is an American slang expression which seems to have several meanings. Here are two:
1. A party attended by both gay men and women.
2. A man in a simultaneous relationship with a man (Jack) and a woman (Jill).
