Suzan Krieger says she “always ended up” playing a leather jacket-clad greaser with waterfall sideburns when she went into drag mode. It was mostly songs from the ’50s, she remembers. Old school.
She also remembers doing “some stupid song about kissing and hugging in the back seat with Fred;” that Elvis was “a big hit;” and that Crema, of Crema Productions and Chicklets fame, was a dead ringer for Tom Jones.
Krieger pauses, then laughs.
“We did that nun song, ‘Dominique,'” she reveals, referring to the historico-religious 1963 ballad composed and sung by Jeanine Decker, a Belgian nun of the Dominican Order, more popularly known as the Singing Nun —and gay, incidentally.
