LaTour - People Are Still Having Sex (1991)

William LaTour, better known by his stage name LaTour and also known as "Bud" Latour, is an American voice-over actor, electronic, rock, dance, punk, and parody musician who has worked as either an on-air radio personality or Production Director in terrestrial radio for the greater part of his career. Throughout his career, he has used many working and recording names. Colleagues and friends typically know him as Bill or LaTour and is best known for the 1991 hit People Are Still Having Sex.


The song features a monologue expounding the narrator's observations that "people everywhere" are "still having sex"; no matter how authority figures such as parents and counselors try, and despite the risk posed by AIDS, "nothing seems to stop them."

The song is built around an instrumental background and also includes a female voice speaking various lines. This voice also ends the song with the word "sex." An audio sample of a woman saying "Hello lover" is taken from the 1987 horror film Evil Dead II.
The track was written about the initial AIDS scare in the late 80's. At the time, various media outlets were sensationalizing the disease with the solution many advocacy groups touted was to just NOT have any intimate relations at all.
LaTour wrote the song based on the notion that pure abstinence wasn't the only answer and that something a bit more aggressive to educate the public needed to be done[citation needed]. The song rose to #1 on the Billboard dance charts and selective quotes have been used on the CDC's (Center for Disease Control) website.
