Fan Recaps and Comments:
Loser's Lounge tribute to Dusty Springfield. The tribute included three shows over three consecutive nights, from October 31 to November 2. John Flansburgh only performed at the first night's show. He sang "What Have I Done to Deserve This?", Springfield's 1987 collaborative single with the Pet Shop Boys, as a duet with another performer. In the spirit of Halloween, Flansburgh wore a shoulder-length blond wig during the performance.[1] He performed the song again at another Loser's Lounge Dusty Springfield tribute show in 2012.
Flansburgh recalled this show in a 2001 interview: "Friends of mine run a tribute show out of NYC called Loser's Lounge where they do extensive retrospectives on a wide variety of artists. So every month or so I get turned on to entire sets of music, from Harry Nilsson who I barely knew to Roxy Music which I had almost forgotten to Dusty Springfield which was a revelation - she was never really big in the US."
