ABBA is camp. Anything that ABBA sings is camp. Gays love ABBA. Well, not all. But still...

So, imagine a male lead vocal sings Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight). ABBA i\was good. But Erasure did the song justice. And so now, a campy song that talks about longing for a man in the night is crooned no longer in a female voice, but by a male. Hmmm.... This track appeared as the B-side of Erasure's single Oh L'amour (1985).

Half past twelve and I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds blowing outside the window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom

There's not a soul out there
No-one to hear my prayer

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Movie stars find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of T.V. I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no-one in sight

There's not a soul out there
No-one to hear my prayer

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight (Midnight)
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight (Midnight)
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme
Gimme, gimme
Gimme
Gimme, gimme

There's not a soul out there
No-one to hear my prayer

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight (Midnight)
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight (Midnight)
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away

Gimme
Gimme, gimme
Gimme
Gimme, gimme
Gimme
Gimme, gimme
Gimme
Gimme, gimme
