Singalong! Supermodel (You Better Work) by RuPaul

Who here remembers when RuPaul first came on the scene??? I was nine and had recently discovered that there are (gasp!) radio stations that play secular music. I remember listening to this with my cousin and giggling that, apparently, this song was sung by a (gasp!) boy! (Giggle giggle giggle.)

It's nice to know we've come a long way from those giggles about a boy in a dress. This weekend PRIDE has finally come to Vancouver, so I'm celebrating with Ru!

You better work.

You better work (Cover girl)
Work it, girl (Give a twirl)
Do your thing on the runway

Wet your lips and make love to the camera

It don't matter what you wear
They're checking out your savior faire
And it don't matter what you do
'Cause everything looks good on you
