DIVINE - YOU THINK YOU'RE A MAN (Extended Video Edit) 

It was my privilege to record his vocal on this track. I was 16 years of age, the last apprentice at Marquee Studios. I was wearing 26" waist white Levie's and this shy gentelman sang this song to me, in one take! Bless him, We had been working for 5 days, production crew, Phil Harding, Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman and me Rob Waldron (grandson of Jack Simpson). It still stands as an art piece

If time travel actually becomes a thing I would go back to see Divine live.

He was always a Gentleman. Every interview, even though he had the piss taken out of him, Divine always had class. Some day a movie will be made of him and what he went through and his struggles well before the net, and what the locals thought of him in the island he lived on (they loved him BTW) RIP you were so ahead of your time.

The 80's were truly a special time. RIP Divine.

Divine has done more good to the broken-hearted than any other psychologist. Kudos.

I remember seeing Divine in concert in 1984. I was 16. Met him backstage after. He was amazing. Great actor and performer. Died too soon. They don't make drag Queens like Divine anymore. When he was on Top of the Pops on BBC TV there were thousands of complaints so he was banned. Its a different world today. .

Listening from sweden I am 65 years old now and i remember this song very much from the 1980 have so fun

When I first moved into Manhattan , the John Waters movies opened my eyes to Divine. I watched every movie he did. I loved Divine!!

Wish everyone had Divine's confidence to show the world who they really are. ❤️

I had the pleasure of meeting Divine. She played a club and stuck around to meet and greet. What a hoot.

2024.... who Else?

One of the best songs to dance to ever. Miss Divine you were both more man and more woman than any of us deserved. Icon!

Miss Divine always had a great following in the gothic scene! We adored her!!!

Turn around Stand up like a man and look me in the eye. Turn around Take one final look at what you've left behind. Then walk away From the greatest lover you have ever known. Yes walk away You're telling me that you can make it on your own By yourself all alone without my help Mister you just made a big mistake. You think you're a man But you're only a boy You think you're a man You are only a toy. You think you're a man But you just couldn't see You were not man enough to satisfy me. Boy boy Boy boy Toy Shut the door Take a look around and tell me what you find. Shut the door Take a giant step for you and all mankind. Then don't come back I always gave you so much more than you deserve No don't come back 'Cause no one makes a fool of me You've got a nerve to walk away Mark the words I'm gonna say Mister you just made a big mistake:

80s had the best music for clubbing and getting pissed ..great memories and I remember this song very well ..only here coz I've just started watching 1999 series QUEER AS FOLK. which has a brilliant cast

Just watching a programme on Channel 5 UK about SAW. I still know all the words to this. Loads of songs from my teenage years. I was 18 in 1984.

Sylvester, Divine, Patrick Cowley, Bobby Orlando are THE BEST.

Ohhhh, the Genius of Stock, Aitken and Waterman conquering the Dance floors.......I miss those days.........Love U Divine.......

The one and only Divine.

Fun times the 80s. 👌🎉🧡🎶🎵😉 Rest in Paradise Divine.

Today, october 19th, Harris Glenn Milstead, a.k.a. Divine, who would have turned 70 years old today. She was a muse to John Waters movies and in her final years she was a disco singer.

DRAG QUEEN NUMBER ONE

So. I’m 11 and my dad used to play this and walk like a man all the time, and I loved it. Just shows that no matter what age you are, it can’t stop you from loving anything and that divine was truly an icon RIP

I wish more Drag Queens sang their own stuff instead of lip syncing. Ms. Divine is just that .. DIVINE!

I cried....I screamed. I love this song.

58 straight and still myfavorite piece of music -----

I was a teen during the 80s. When I look back at that period I am always amazed on what freedom there was back then. Although I was 13 when Divine became famous I loved her songs. Me being a kid I really hadn’t got a clue the she in reality was a man in drag. I also liked Boy George, he was not really dressed in drag but his ensemble was quite remarkable. Glenn Milstead was one of those talented people that had to leave us much to soon.

i miss 80s music

Yup. I definitely see the inspiration of Ursula here.

Thank You so much for your message ! DIVINE was a fabulous singer, and a great actor too ! The way he sings "You Think You're A Man" is pure genius. We all think about John Waters movies, but please have a look at his wonderful performance (as a man !) in the 1985 Alan Rudolph movie "Trouble In Mind" !

I wish Divine had lived to see how universally adored and revered she is today

I can’t believe I forgot this existed!!! Thank GOD I’m back this song is amazing and divines eye roll is what I’ve been trying to unsuccessfully perfect for years

R.I.P DIVINE 1945-1988 :'C

great song brings back memores of heaven in London in the 80

ディヴァイン最高!! ｢アイムソービューティフル｣も素晴らしい!! Divine is awesome!! Her another track "I'm so beautiful" is also excellent!! from Japan 🇯🇵🤗

I was working as an intern in a large fashion store in 1984. This song used to play over and over again. "Shut the door" it haunted me ever since. Yes, it was Divine. I finally found him

Divine reminds me of those strong independent experienced woman who always giving advices for a much younger and beautiful girls

Is it wrong that I'm a Straight Male and I love this song? It's catchy as hell and the chorus is so powerful!. The rhythm is what 80's were all about and Divine's voice sounds so angry and also so strong.

Our very own Liz Taylor. This takes me right back to carefree times when i was 17

Un gran exponente con 24 años me declaro fan del High Energy ☺️☺️☺️ 2020 alguien?

Super cantante, crecí con tu musica. Un honor ser tu fan.

There will never be another Divine. The world was lucky to have her.

Rest in Peace Divine always. Gone but never forgotten, your energy will live forever. ✌️ 💖 🙏 😊 👑

Divine donde quieres que estés tus rolas están en el pasado presente y futuro no hay nada que se pueda comparar con la porquería de la actualidad 2019

Always reminds me of Justin and Brian 😍

No one pulls the female impersonator as well as divine...Must be the confidence xxx ADDICTED TO THIS TUNE X

I'm straight , always loved gay anthems and this is right up there. Belting tune. X

the first time i saw Divine, i was 12 years old, and i thought :that man looks like my nanna"! been a mega fan ever since :P

It's been 25 years today that we lost a wonderful entertainer. Thanks for the memories. Loved your show in Sacramento,Calif.

One of the best classic dance songs there has ever been 🎹🎹🎹👁👁😊

For me, Divine embodies the 80s like no other. What a great time.

Awesome! I *love* the thing he does with his tongue!

I'm not sure why but this song hits me deep inside and resonates and hurts :/ I think gay or straight, we all had that one relationship that we never got over and it was really because the other person was just too immature. :/

Divine es atemporal.Hay muy pocas cosas que solo escucharlas me ponen inmediatamente de buen humor.Divine es una de ellas

I'm 52, and im still listening. Love this ❤

Even in Oklahoma I’m dancing. But don’t tell any of my hunting buddies.

This is the roots of the gay movement, look how far we've come in 35 yrs. Something to really be proud of.

Female Trouble and Pink Flamingos brought me here (Trasharama every Saturday night on Kast for the best grindhouse experience). Divine was ahead of her time so has to be considered a trailblazer. Wasn't sure if I'd like these movies and still not sure if 'enjoy' is the right way to describe it but I definitely feel the experience was culturally significant. RIP Divine, many have tried to emulate but few succeed.

Love how the synths are on the intro of this version and love the intro.

Esto es musica no como la mierda que cantan ahora ..DIVINE FOREVER❤💕💕

Divine - we never forget

The absolute best song to come out of the 80s!

I feel her in this song. It is an emotional song for me. It is so bad ass and sad at the same time. Love you divine ♥️. You were so damn cool.

Divine was divine just taken from us to soon RIP divine 😭😭😭

DIVINE was an amazing entertainer. I wish his work was highlighted more often in newer documentaries about LGBT history.

The ever so FABULOUSSSS Divine💃💃💃💃💃👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I remember as a kid I was in love with the movie Hairspray and my mom was the one who told me who Divine was and that she played the mother and that as a man she also played that car salesman character. I have been in love with drag since then, I think I was about 5 (I'm 40 now) and when little mermaid came out I always loved Ursela and I never understood why they made her a villain. Everyone else was singing I wanna be where the people are, but I was doing poor unfortunate souls and making my brothers dance backup in the living room. If you've never seen the Henry Rollins interview where he fondly remembers Divine, you should. He talks about how they were both outcasts from the social norm, seen as degenerates by parents and "squares" and looked down upon by mainstream music. He also speaks about Harris as not being a guy who was very tough (which is so odd to me because to me Divine was a bitch who would cut off your balls if you looked at her sideways, but I guess that's the thing with a drag character, it's who you wish you were feminized and turned up to 11), anyway Henry take about fighting off homophobes who tried to attack Divine/Harris after a show. It's very sweet to see him remember Divine in a way that I don't think a ton of people saw her, as a real person.

2020 Alguien??

At first I hate it, but the lyrics grew on me, now I love it.

Great lyrics! It's like Divine is singing my love life!

Por favor que vuelvan los 80!!😵😍

Simply Devine it was... Great days and times... God bless All...😎😁

The bottom line is this is some of the best dance music ever made in the 80s

I LOVE this song. It's one of those that vanishes for ages then pops back up right when I need it.

Tal vez uno de los mejores temas de toda la época dorada del hig energy,e inclusive,de toda la musica bailable de todos los tiempos,sin duda...la potencia,el ritmo,los arreglos,la letra,e interpretación justa del gran DIVINE,a sido fuente de inspiración para muchos cantantes(e incluso hoy en dia),en lo que a musica rítmica se refiere...divine por siempre...

Maybe I'm showing my age, but pop music isn't this fabulous these days Divine lives! (sadly only on RU-vid and in cult films), and remember we're all beautiful

Дивейн -это на всегда!

Sadly missed. But not forgotten.

A great entertainer and was very intelligent. Loved the music. Great teenager memories. Thank you Divine

Divine identified as an actor who specialized primarily in female roles, never identified as female outside of the work, referred to the drag as work clothes. One of his most cherished and pleasing roles was that of Hilly Blue in Big Trouble in Little China. Divine was overjoyed to finally be appearing in a male role, and he was wonderful. The female roles were always just the very tip of the iceberg where his talent was concerned. John Waters always said that Divine sort of saw himself as , basically a character actor., a younger Sydney Greenstreet or Peter Lorre. It was like a dream come true when he got cast in the role on Married With Children. So sad that the timing was so awful. By all accounts, he was so happy and so looking forward to a sort of mainstream role oin mainstream television.

I'm 57 and love listening to her 🎶🎤🐩🎵

His face was amazing...he was amazing... R.I.P

I miss that crazy bastard. Saw him/her enough in concert and $5 a show at Charlie's West in East Orange NJ!

That should've entered Billboard Hot 100 for this! It was amazing tune and that should've been in US chart!

She was gorgeous. Rest in Peace.

DIVINE FOREVER!!!

1984 I was 16 years old. Never forget these times. 💖🎶

Such a talented singer and actor.

Possibly the greatest song ever made

She's so amazing and that makes sense the lyrics! 💖👍🏻

Como no adorarte Divine. Dios te guarde donde quiera q estés. Belleza d travesti. Gracias x las rolas q nos dan mucha energía y bienestar para nuestra alma.

I love this song... been looking for it for long time... glad I found it. 👬👭

Recuerdo que cuando era un niño mi padre ponia a Divine, y creo que es algo de lo bueno que me enseño, su música, tengo 23 años y toda la música clásica para mi es lo mejor ♥️🥺

Зная, кто это... в 80х очень не знали! А диско, любой позавидует!!!

I used to play this song twice in an evening at the club where I was DJ - that closing the door sound - used a bright strobe light - people loved it. Good old days.

The voice of a generation of people ❤👏👍

what a fucking legend, the church of divine!

What a huge loss when He died - even he didn't take himself seriously , a very Humble Polite person - bet he and Sylvester are sat on a Cloud Laughing !!!❤

Being totally hertosexual and listening to this in 83 has brought back fond memories of my club life as a bloke finding his identity amongst a mish mash' of trendies in 80's club scene!!

Iconic.
