Go West (song)
"Go West" is a song by the American disco group Village People. It was an instant hit in the disco scene during the late 1970s, the song eventually found greater success when it was covered in 1993 by English synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys. Original Village People lead singer Victor Willis, Henri Belolo and Jacques Morali are credited as the song's writers, although Willis disputes Belolo's involvement.〔
==Village People version==
Originally released as a single in 1979, it was not as popular as the group's other contemporary singles such as "Y.M.C.A." and "In the Navy". The song's title is attributed to the nineteenth century quote "Go West, young man" commonly attributed to Horace Greeley, a rallying cry for the colonization of the American West; though Victor Willis denies writing the song with a gay theme in mind, "Go West" is generally understood as an expression of the 1970s sentiment of San Francisco as a utopia for the Gay Liberation movement.
Both the 7" and 12" versions of the song were subsequently collected in various greatest hits collections, including a 1997 radio remix which was made in the wake of the success of Pet Shop Boys' 1993 version.
The Village People version of the song features in the film ''The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert'' and in the musical of the same name as the three lead characters leave Sydney for Alice Springs (which lies just over 2,000 km north-west of Sydney as the crow flies).
