Some of the members of the Skatt Bros. actually did background vocals for the Villiage People, but minor studio only. It 's a bit of a coinsidence, since they are on the same label and they had the same management as the same label group KISS (Aucoin Management). If you happen it listen to that LP ("Strange spirits") you find some really good tracks. They were being marketed as a "Rock Disco/Straight Village People" group, since it was 1979 and record companies were backlashing against disco. There also was a rare version of this song on the Disconet remix service label; which incorporated sound clips from a Jeff Styker gay porno film. Very good and collectible. Get the 12" mix because some of the full length LP printing have the short edit . Some don't.

"Walk the Night" was a particular anthem of late '70s gay male S/M. The Skatt Brothers were similar to the Village People, but with lyrics that were darker and more explicit, for example: "He's got a rod beneath his coat/gonna ram right down your throat/make you grovel on the floor/spit, bump, and scream and beg for more."
