Italian Stud Paolo Tuci Serves Up Totally "Not Gay" Sailor Moon Tribute Video
Finally, Sailor Moon has gotten the boy-band treatment: Italian singer Paolo Tuci released a gender-bending cover of the cartoon's theme song, featuring himself and four other bare-chested lads as Sailor Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter.
His "Il Cristallo del Cuore" ("Crystal Heart") goes truly supernova, though, when he works in a mashup of Madonna’s “La Isla Bonita.”
Tuci begins the video with a clear warning that “this is not a gay video”—in case the open vests, Paris is Burning dance moves and Madonna lyrics confused us.
What’s Italian for “Gurl, please”?
The disclaimer is likely just a cheeky joke for queer fans of Tuci, whose covers have also included Jem and the Holograms and the Dragonball Z theme songs.
The full Sailor & Co. album is available on iTunes. Watch the video below.
