Waltz Darling

Waltz Darling is the fourth studio album by Malcolm McLaren (his only with The Bootzilla Orchestra), released in 1989. The album spawned several popular singles, including "Deep in Vogue", a collaboration with Willi Ninja, best known for his appearance in the documentary film Paris Is Burning, which introduced "voguing" to the mainstream. Another single, "House of the Blue Danube", was used in the trailer for the 1990 film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Four singles from the album reached the UK Singles Chart: "Waltz Darling" (#31), "Something's Jumpin' in Your Shirt" (#29), "House of the Blue Danube" (#73) and "Deep in Vogue" (#83).

Malcolm personally hired conceptual artist JJ Carver (AKA James Carver), formerly Creative Director of The Leisure Process, to art direct the album sleeve and singles covers. Malcolm and James were introduced by mutual friend Tommy Roberts at The Titanic night club in Berkeley Square.
