The spectator could only see the eight pairs of buttocks of the men on stage, the 2,000 pairs of eyes in the Kursaal of Ostend, the men could see ‘full monty’. Siska Schoeters, Tine Embrecht and Ella Leyers, who came to support her friend Rik Verheye, saw how Dieter Coppens and co. their act began in a navy white suit. From the hall the eight men took to the stage, shaking their fists and shaking their hips to Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff”.
Once there, they played to the tones of Joe Cocker’s “You Can Leave Your Hat On”, followed by their shoes, shirt, tie, belt and pants until there was only a shiny gold thong left. In the end they took them off too, covering their capons with a sea skewer. On the last note, the eight also threw off that cap and the pancarte appeared: “Take the signals seriously. He gets over your shame and talk about it. Visit your doctor ”.
