Sweeties, darlings, Bernie bros and bisexuals — are you getting antsy for Patsy and Edina?! Because we are.
But before we can fully revel in our favorite alcoholics’ invasion of the big screen starting July 22 (July 1 in the UK), the people behind Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie are keeping our interest piqued in all the right ways.
Let’s be honest — they had us at the trailer, and even more so when we got a peek at all the cameos to expect. (Hello Joan Collins!)
Now it’s been announced that none other than Kylie Minogue has covered the show’s theme song for the film. Who else could it have been, really?
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

Shout out to the original recording by Siouxsie and The Banshees, as written by Bob Dylan & Rick Danko.

I like it, but I have to say the original is better. This version just doesn’t capture the chaos of the girls.

@Caine: Siouxsie and the Banshees? They didn’t even exist in the 1960’s. The original recording was done by Dylan and the Band in 67. The Band recorded another version for their 1968 LP ‘Music from Big Pink.’ The famous hit version that is used as the theme song is also from 1968 – by Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger with the Trinity. This is the version the Minogue one is referencing. The Byrds also did an LP version in 1969. Siouxsie and the Banshees didn’t do a version until 1987…by that time – dozens of versions had been recorded and released.
