YMMV / Leif Garrett

Go To

  • Fandom Rivalry: Most notably with the fandoms of Shaun Cassidy and Andy Gibb.
  • Friendly Fandoms: In the early 2010s, many fans of Leif and Kesha weirdly overlapped. Many fans of Leif are also fans of David Cassidy, Shaun Cassidy, Andy Gibb, The Monkees, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Michael Jackson and every 80s hair metal band ever.
  • Germans Love Leif Garrett: Though that car crash back in 1979 seemed to effectively destroy his first wave of popularity, for some time afterwards he maintained his fame in places like Japan, Korea and the aforementioned Germany.
  • Signature Song: The disco-ready international hit "I Was Made For Dancin'". His covers of "Runaround Sue", "The Wanderer" and "Surfin' USA" also qualify.
  • Spiritual Successor: In 1978 he was deemed this by the media to David Cassidy, Donny Osmond, Bobby Sherman and other teen idols.
