[...] Natasha Stott-Despoja has edged into the lead as the politician you’d most like to see sing Samantha Fox’s Touch Me. It looks like I’m the only one who was interested in Helen Coonan. I’ll leave the poll [...]

[...] you know, when I linked to Samantha Fox singing Touch Me last week, that was just to make a joke about Andrew P Street. That was just me trying to be clever. I realise now that was so immature. Andrew means nothing to [...]

@RV: Christopher Pyne? The Duchess of Sturt? RV, let’s just look closely at this photograph (right) for a moment and consider what you’re suggesting.

Touch me, touch me, I want to feel your body.

Jesus wept!

@Snarky Platypus: I have it on good authority that you were listening to Laura Branigan last night, so I think I’ll discount your input today. On the other hand, “constipated seal” is a phrase to remember. And Julie Bishop as a neo-con sex kitten is, well, disturbing. I note that on Saturday you were very keen to ensure she was listed in this poll too, so I’m making a note of that…

@DaSuthNa: Well spotted! I think Gunther’s moustache alone makes that clip worth watching.

Now, let us purge that image from our collective minds and never speak of it again.

I think I’ll have to add the male version of this poll some time. Perhaps not immediately though.

I think the original video is dreadful — and not in a “so bad it’s good” way. It’s too schlocky and poorly made, with little sense of charm. The attempted orgasmic moans end up sounding like a noise a constipated seal would make. The fan and water bit is hilarious though, but I am partial to a good wind machine effect (would have been a lot better with a proper wind machine).

As for who should sing it, it clearly should be Julie Bishop. I think her strident wannabe neo-con attitude would translate well into demanding pop sex kitten She even looks a bit like Sam Fox — their mullet-like hair styles have an eerie resemblance.

On YouTube, in the Related videos, you’ll see a 2004 cover of “Touch Me” by Gunther and featuring Sam Fox:

Not the most appropriate? Or is it in the “so bad it’s good” category. I can’t pick it yet.
