In 1993, British duo Pet Shop Boys released "Go West". The gay anthem went Top 10 in Europe, Britain, Australia and Japan. It also topped the US Dance Music / Club Play Singles Chart.
The original version of "Go West" was recorded by the American pop/ disco outfit Village People. In 1979, the song was issued as a single. It was also the title track from the group's LP that same year.
