Kylie Minogue fans lash out at X-rated parody of new single Padam Padam
American drag queen Manila Luzon has sparked online backlash after releasing an X-rated parody of the music video for Kylie Minogue’s new song, Padam Padam.
Kylie’s latest stunner continues to climb the charts and fill dance floors around the world, but Luzon’s parody features lyrics that are much more explicit, outraging many fans of the petite diva.

The comedian dons several fire engine-red outfits in the theme of Kylie’s video as she rolls around on a bed in the minute-long clip.
At one point, one of her suitors is seen marking Manila’s bare bottom with a number one in black marker.
