About The Record:

Go West by the Village People features their hit singles In the Navy (No. 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100, No. 2 in the UK Top 40) and Go West, of which the Pet Shop Boys made a successful cover in 1993. It peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S. and has been certified Platinum by RIAA. In 1979, the United States Navy considered using In the Navy in a television and radio recruiting campaign. The group offered them permission if the Navy would help film a music video for it. The Navy provided them access to the San Diego Navy base, where the USS Reasoner (FF-1063), several aircraft, and the crew of the ship would be used. This song was also performed on the TV series The Love Boat, and in the 1995 Navy comedy movie Down Periscope.
