I need a really gay song

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I could use some musical assistance. In a couple weeks I'll be co-emceeing our Rocky pre-show with a fellow 'mo. We need an upbeat, non-cliché, über-gay song to start off our presentation. When he and I previously performed this gig, we used "His Name Is Lancelot" from Spamalot and that worked really well.

Since this will just be used for our intro, the bit(s) we choose can't be more than 90 seconds long. The song itself can be longer, we just can't use more than 90 seconds of it. It also needs to be very upbeat—something that will get the audience excited.

Here are some songs we don't want to use: It's Raining Men (cliché)
Dancing Queen (cliché)
His Name Is Lancelot (used it before)
Macho Man (cliché)
YMCA (cliché)
anything from Rocky Horror

I'm Just A Girl Who Can't Say No

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Unfortunately it's not upbeat enough.

Unless there's a remix or pop version you can point me to?

[Moonliner]

I'd argue the point, but many times have I head how gay this song is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvQex1RQ5G4). "Anyway you wanna do it I'll take it like a man...."

If that doesn't work then I'd suggest anything from Glee.


And no quoting this message out of context Kevy.
That goes for you to BTD.

What about Let Me Be Your Drag Queen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE82u9FEqjY)?

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Mindy played me that new Lady Ga-Ga song and it screamed "gay" right into my ear. It was like the THX promo in the theatres. Only LOUDER.

[Morrigoon]

Keep it gay! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC9Fq6EoBeo&feature=related)

[CoasterMatt]

How about Girls and Boys by Blur (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATWnH-yb6-o)?

[CoasterMatt]

Or you could go with "What What (In The Butt) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKE3dIrRIbg)" by Samwell" :)

[€uroMeinke]

Some 80's NewRo - Like ABC - Look of Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuLcogdames) or Shoot that Poison Arrow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpOSMOgpQWU&feature=fvsr)

[Ghoulish Delight]

Wow, I never pegged you as a NewRo man, €

[€uroMeinke]

well, it's pretty gay

[Not Afraid]

And, as he's listening to all of this terrible music, I'm sitting in the same room saying MAKE IT STOP!

"A Little Respect" by Erasure

[Not Afraid]

I've got it!

"Push Push in the Bush" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ0jjA6HA4k)

[Not Afraid]

The Intro to Ballroom Blitz (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrCARFX8rjU&feature=related) could be construed as pretty gay (and, there's nothing more upbeat than some great Glam).

[€uroMeinke]

Adam and the Ants - Stand and Deliver (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPgHbt0ODr4) - About Dandy highwaymen

[katiesue]

How about Billy Squire - Rock Me Tonight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR0j7sModCI). It has the gayest dancing in a video - ever. And it must at a minimum be the most embarrassing video ever.

[CoasterMatt]

If i was gonna pick an Adam and the Ants song - "Prince Charming (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nFXCwPlCg0)" might be it - but not quite upbeat enough.

"Don't you ever, don't you ever, stop being dandy, showing me you're handsome"

[Ghoulish Delight]

Ziggy Stardust?

[Not Afraid]

"Oh Bondage Up Yours" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AS4bBEMT44&feature=related)

[Not Afraid]

I don't know if we're being helpful, but this is kind of fun!

[CoasterMatt]

How about "I Want To Break Free (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Mc-NYPHaQ)" by Queen?

or "I'll Tumble 4 Ya (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwb9-OlQimc)" by Culture Club

How about Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley

[Disneyphile]

Definitely the new Lady Gaga song. I think it's called "Born This Way".

[SzczerbiakManiac]

When I originally said "upbeat", I should have said "high energy". It should be a song that will make the audience want to cheer by the third measure—if not sooner. It doesn't have to be club music to be high energy, the opening chords of Star Wars (were they "gay") would be more than sufficient.

Homoerotic or dandy music videos are fun to watch, but the audience will only be hearing the song, not watching it, so gay visuals are irrelevant.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Pete Shelly Homosapian (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3KzwpihR_U)Hmm, that definitely has potential! I'll see if I can get a clean copy of the song.

Definitely the new Lady Gaga song. I think it's called "Born This Way".Lady GaGa's "Born This Way" is a deliberate attempt to create a Gay anthem (she's said this herself) but I'm not so sure how successful she was in that effort. It's an interesting song, but IMO it's no anthem. Regardless, for my purposes, it's not sufficiently energetic.

The Stroke by Billy Squire

[Kevy Baby]

The Stroke by Billy SquireWhat's funny is how everyone thinks this song is about sex when in fact it is a commentary about the music business and what it takes to get ahead.

[Moonliner]

What's funny is how everyone thinks this song is about sex when in fact it is a commentary about the music business and what it takes to get ahead.

So it is about sex.

[Chernabog]

I still like Pansy Division's version of Liz Phair's "Flower." That's soooo gay.

[Kevy Baby]

Is "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred too cliché?

[SzczerbiakManiac]

It's not too cliché, but I despise that song.
