 | | The gay-themed group was well known for their outrageous on-stage costumes (the members dressing up as a police officer, an American Indian chief, a construction worker, and a sailor) as for their catchy tunes and lyrics, which had gay themes which are often considered to be subtle enough to be missed by some heterosexuals. |
 | | Although the band sang in English, it has been created (in 1977) and managed by two French musicians, Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo, who also wrote their songs. |
 | | Their hit "In The Navy" was, according to an urban myth, considered by the United States Navy for use in a recruiting advertising campaign until the organisation, which had a policy against allowing homosexuals at the time, actually realised the joke was on them. |
