Move over, bedazzled bodices, feather frocks, and rhinestone pasties. There's a new burlesque in town. And if you're thinking Hurly Burly Burlesque is anything like those muscly, baby-oil-slathered, overly tanned Chippendale's dudes, think again. What this gritty, bearded, tattooed and, well, fitness-disinclined band of burlyesque "dancers" brings is beyond your wildest, or furriest, dreams.
This weekend, the boys are back at 5 Points Lounge to shamelessly mock the 1980s with a video party. Let's hope for a sensual rendition of "Love Bites" or perhaps a hair-swinging strip tease to "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." We'd be lying if we said weren't looking forward to a little of their sugar-pouring, Camero-humping, high-waisted denim-shorts-wearing strutting.
They'll project hours of '80s bangers, complemented by a slew of half nekkid dudes. In honor of this flashback ("Flashdance," anyone?) Friday-night party, we asked the Hurly Burly-ers to give us their top five fave 1980s music videos, which, we're told, may or may not be part of their routine.
5. Weird Al - "Ricky"
"Seriously," the Hurlys told us, "this was just going to be a list of Weird Al videos, but we wanted to give other artist a chance to shine." So enjoy some vintage Weird Al goodness.
4. A-Ha - "Take on Me"
"Music videos get artsy, and kinda creepy, " the boys said of this classic. Creepy, yes. We and everyone we know have also been guilty of a drunken singalong to this guy.

Someties you find your people — with Garrett B. and Jessie P. at Harry's Banana FARM.
Ryan M: Ummmmm. Who's Jessie p??
March 2 at 1:44am
Timmy F: Idk, some skirt.
March 2 at 2:17am
Jessie P: Wow .. Fuck you too turd. Hate you. DTBBFBFFMPP
March 3 at 3:23pm
Garrett B: Jessie P, you're a woman, it's not like you have a personality or anything
March 3 at 3:38pm
Jessie P: Hate you too Garrett B .. The only issue with my personality is that I'm a poor judge of character because I'm alright with hangin out with you fucks
March 3 at 3:43pm
Ana R: wow sexism is so funny when you're a white male! how witty and original if you forget about the history of humankind... yay! hilarious! joke's on us women again! and YOU don't have to deal with it everyday nor worry about rape nor any of the consecuenses of propagating sexism and belittleing women... enjoy your fun boys...its still one out of three raped for us women and domestic violence is still off the charts... go ahead and keep joking about it cus its fucking hilarious. TELL me its just a joke and i need to get a sense of humor, I fucking DARE you. Fucking ASSHOLES.
March 3 at 3:49pm
Billy H: I'm only commenting so I can see responses. I don't actually care.
March 3 at 3:57pm
Sarah M: Wait, did someone say that men don't have to worry about rape? Because I'm pretty sure they do also, even if it may not be in the numbers we see in women. I think that was about as sexist as the joke at hand here.
March 3 at 4:02pm
Sarah M: Also, men aren't a victim of sexism just like women? They don't deal with it every day either? The point is, I get it, and would consider my self a feminist to the core. But you are making a terrible impression when you are letting your feelings and emotions take over a very serious issue to the point where you forget to focus on all sexes... and focus on one.
March 3 at 4:05pm
Jessie P: Timmy F Garrett B .... Look.. Look what you did.
March 3 at 4:12pm
Garrett B: Timmy F, Jessie P, and myself are three consenting adults who like to hang out and poke fun at each other. We have done it on several occasions and I'm pretty sure we have enough respect and maturity that if one of us was offended by the other to look at that person and say enough is enough. How this turned into a soapbox is beyond me.
March 3 at 4:16pm
Billy H: JOKES AREN'T FUCKING FUNNY! NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH! I IS OFFENDED.
March 3 at 4:17pm
Jessie P: I love Facebook shitstorms ..
March 3 at 4:24pm
Timmy F: ana, not everything is a giant attack on womanhood. we joke around w each other because we're adults and we understand that none of these comments are serious. if you keep taking offense, i think you should stop communicating with me by facebook. i don't appreciate your high-horse bullshit, especially since you know that in person and practice i support everyone's individual right to be themselves with no consequence or blow back. i love you, friend, but you need to dial it back a bit. i never type anything serious on facebook because it's FACEBOOK!
March 3 at 4:24pm
Timmy F: additionally, Ana, don't preach to me about my misogyny: i hate both genders the same. i hate EVERYTHING the same. it's my great equalizer.
March 3 at 4:28pm
Sarah M: Equal opportunity hater.
March 3 at 4:29pm
Timmy F: exactly. ask anyone who knows me. i hate all of existence, just a smidgen less than i hate myself. it's one of my superpowers.
March 3 at 4:31pm
Timmy F: Jessie P, this is all your fault. because you're a woman.
March 3 at 4:35pm
Timmy F: hispanic women are the root of all evil...
March 3 at 4:35pm
Timmy F: FLAME WAR!!!!!
March 3 at 4:35pm
Billy H: Timmy tried to slip something in my drink..... his dick.
March 3 at 4:39pm
Timmy F: btw, the funny thing here is that the three people who were actually originally involved in this conversation did not take offense to anything said, because we're all real adult human beings with senses of humor. it took a fucking psychotic to blow this up. goddamned hippies ruin everything.
March 3 at 4:45pm
Ryan M: ...Soooooo anyways....who's this Jessie girl again??
Ana R: wow you're too cool and too adult for me.. i'll be happy to stop facebook interactions with you clusterfuck.You say rape jokes, you make sexist and belittleing jokes about women ALL the time and i've called you out in person and otherwise. If you ever wanna have a conversat ion in person about this shit and/or your treatment of women in general i still have feedback for you.
March 4 at 8:41am
Billy H: ^are you for hire? I want you for my birthday. Something tells me you know how to get a crowd going.
March 4 at 8:43am
Kenneth H: I guess "sometimes you don't find your people" too.
March 4 at 9:34am
Ana R: billy, i'm the funnest mutherfucker i know..i just dont think sexism, racism,rape or other people's oppression is funny. My point is that as a dude its very convenient to think sexism is funny even when those at the butt of the joke are obviously not having fun.I'm not the only woman who's been mentioning this shit to Tim. Sometime. you don't find your people too haha now that's funny
March 4 at 9:51am
Timmy F: I want none of your feedback. I'm pretty clear on your position: you are no fun on this subject and you take shit WAY too seriously.
March 4 at 10:07am
Jessie P: I'm obviously having fun... All the goddamn time
March 4 at 10:08am
Billy H: So.... you do birthday parties?
March 4 at 10:08am
Timmy F: Ps, i obviously love sexism, rape & oppression because i'm always doing that stuff in my daily life. Also, clubbing baby seals & cannibalizing orphans.
March 4 at 10:09am
Billy H: We talked about orphans Saturday.
March 4 at 10:10am
Jessie P: So Timmy Fine, I got this baby, and I'm real hungry. But I can't finish it alone..
March 4 at 10:10am
Kenneth H: We talked about orphans A LOT Saturday.
March 4 at 10:11am
Billy H: Don't rape it. Eat it.
March 4 at 10:12am
Timmy F: i am consistant with my conversations. also, i officially love this thread like a child. Thanks, guys!
March 4 at 10:12am
Jessie P: Rape it, then eat it..
March 4 at 10:13am
Timmy F: Only if it bleeds
March 4 at 10:14am
Jessie P: And then make a joke about it.
March 4 at 10:14am
Billy H: Guys I'm uncomfortable. I think I should be able to limit your freedom of speech to accommodate my inability to not associate with people who make these jokes. Please, don't joke about things that offend anybody, ever. Lets just sit in silence.
March 4 at 10:15am
Timmy F: ...
March 4 at 10:16am
Timmy F: All this talk about objectifying women makes me want to hit the strip club...any joiners?
March 4 at 10:18am
Billy H: Only if they're also part time sex workers.
March 4 at 10:19am
Jessie P: Joining
March 4 at 10:19am
Billy H: Wanna hear a non offensive joke?
March 4 at 10:19am
Timmy F: Yup
March 4 at 10:19am
Jessie P: Nope
March 4 at 10:19am
Jessie P: Alright fine
March 4 at 10:20am
Timmy F: Alright P
March 4 at 10:20am
Billy H: So a retarder rapist walks into an abortion clinic and punches a fat girl in the cunt..... something else happens, and fuck minorities.
March 4 at 10:21am
Jessie P: I fuckin love you Tim
March 4 at 10:21am
Billy H: Retarded* fuck.
March 4 at 10:21am
Jessie P: I like "retarder" better
March 4 at 10:22am
Billy H: My errors keep me humble. That and my baby penis. That I force into women.
March 4 at 10:23am
Billy H: Felice R [girlfriend]is my favorite to rape. She loves it.
March 4 at 10:23am
Timmy F: So a little girl & a child molester are walking into the woods & the little girl looks up at the child molester & says "it's dark, i'm scared" & the child molester looks down at the little girl & says "you're scared, shit-i gotta walk back by myself!"
March 4 at 10:23am
Billy H: Ha!
March 4 at 10:24am
Garrett B: Best joke Sarah Silverman ever told.
March 4 at 10:25am
Billy H: I love how there was zero rape on this thread until it was said that there was rape.
March 4 at 10:26am
Timmy F: I had that shit way before sarah silverman & we didn't get really inappropriate about anything until someone accused us of being inappropriate.
March 4 at 10:59am
Kenneth H: "How many 9/11's does it take to rape a dead baby in the ass?"
March 4 at 11:55am
Timmy Fine: Is the answer "mohammed"?
March 4 at 12:16pm
Kenneth H: The more offensive the answer the better the joke.
Any self respecting Christian should be appalled at these hairy, disgusting filthy men! Especially with those off color jokes. When He comes back to judge us, maybe they'll clean up their acts.
The Hurly Burly troupe leader is racists and sexist and i don't think he has any business in burlesque...i found rape jokes, racists jokes on his facebook and when my friend told him she was offended he became more offensive and made more rape jokes...These men have no business in a WOMANS art form-they are incappable of respecting it! Do what you want in your every day life but if you are trying to be a part of an age old womans art form you might want to watch your tongue. Heres 2 of the jokes directly copied from facebook- Timmy Fine hispanic

Am I to understand that men cannot be prostitutes because it is a woman's age old business and/or medium of expression? (Some people just love being paid to screw and pride themselves on their skills, making it their own personal art form). Or men can't care for children and manage the household because it's historically and conventionally female? By your logic, I can't be president, or a professional hockey player, or a philosopher because I'm a woman and those are, -historically-, all male positions.
Yeah.. who exactly is the sexist?
I've seen the show. If anyone is getting debased and sexualized it's these hard working men taking their clothes off for my dirty, dirty money.
I'm offended like your friend. I'm offended by your poor spelling and grammar skills, and also by your highly illogical thought process and your inability to examine context clues. Because of this I'd like to ask that you remove your text, which offends me, and please remove your brain, which also offends me. I'm just trying to get by on the internet by asking everyone else to be exactly like me, instead of going on with my life and ignoring comments that are obviously meant to be comical. I just want to live peacefully and unchallenged while browsing kitty pictures and recipes on my facebook feed.
