Erasure - "A Little Respect"

One of the biggest dance hits of the late 80s, when Erasure was at its peak. From Wikipedia: The duo's singer, Andy Bell, is openly gay and has often reflected this through his outfits and gestures on stage, at a time when Western society as a whole was less accepting of homosexuality than it is today — making Erasure's success all the more notable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasure

That's funny you say that, rougy. My boyfriend thought the reverse; when he heard Yaz he told me that he thought it was Andy Bell singing all along, instead of Alison. HA!

Oh, and kronosposeidon, I remember the first time I had seen or heard of Erasure was when they opened for Duran Duran, and this was my first and most favorite song of theirs. Thanks so much for posting this!

Ekleksays...

He sings soul and we see a logo of the Olympics in Seoul:)

And what is the meaning of the end, when the P is removed from the word RESPECT? RES ETC: "Res" means thing in Latin and "Etc" Et cetera.
And the removal takes place just after the final line "Oh baby please give a little respect to me": the letter "P" might also refer to this, as it's a little part of the word respect, i.e. a little respect. But then again, why the "P"? Because it's the middle one, breaking the word into 2?
Any ideas?
