It is that song someone played at Sweet Bar tonight that convinced me to do this video, Remembering Pattaya Dancing Queen III
By Jack Corbett
Except it was the wrong song. I hadn't heard it very often. But as I kept videoing Mali at Sweet Bar my mind kept going back to a video I had once shot of Mew and Koy dancing together at Repent bar.
Mew and Koy had put a great show on that night, but it was just a
few nights later that Mali pulled this whole thing together.
Resulting in a combination video I'm calling "Remembering Pattaya
Dancing Queen III.
The music airing at Repent bar was very odd. Somehow it reminded me of "Zorba the Greek". But I cannot explain the connection. That can come out of only my own addled mind. I called that video, "Sister Act." And only because back then Mew and Koy often danced together to the tune of all of us having too many tequilas.
But Mali, who is doing all the dancing here at Sweet Bar ties in with that Sister Act video I shot over a year ago. In spite of my getting the two songs all mixed up.
When I shot Koy dancing with Mew at Repent bar for "Sister Act, the Pattaya Dancing Queen III competition was less than a month away. Back then I didn't even know Mali could dance. But I was shooting a few videos of her at my condo helping me review swords, knives and Kukris. And then I shot that video of her offering me her opinion of who she thought would win 20000 baht at the upcoming Pattaya Dancing Queen III competiition.

That night I shot "sister act" at Repent Bar Koy really looked spectacular. And Mali thought so too after I showed her to the video. Mali even thought Koy would win the 20000 baht even though she admitted Mew as the better dancer.
But I knew all along that Mew would win her third title as Pattaya's Dancing Queen. But I still had to put two videos together and call this single video Remembering Pattaya Dancing Queen III. Because there's never been anything like the Pattaya Dancing Queen competitions we held at Nikky Bar. While Pattaya will probably never see their equal again.
