I need a really gay song
 

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

Unfortunately it's not upbeat enough.

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

I'd argue the point, but many times have I head how gay this song is. "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?

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.

How about Girls and Boys by Blur?

Or you could go with "What What (In The Butt)" by Samwell" :)

Some 80's NewRo - Like ABC - Look of Love or Shoot that Poison Arrow

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

well, it's pretty gay

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

I've got it!

"Push Push in the Bush"

The Intro to Ballroom Blitz could be construed as pretty gay (and, there's nothing more upbeat than some great Glam).

Adam and the Ants - Stand and Deliver - About Dandy highwaymen

How about Billy Squire - Rock Me Tonight. It has the gayest dancing in a video - ever. And it must at a minimum be the most embarrassing video ever.

If i was gonna pick an Adam and the Ants song - "Prince Charming" might be it - but not quite upbeat enough.

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

Ziggy Stardust?

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

How about "I Want To Break Free" by Queen?

or "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" by Culture Club

Pete Shelly Homosapian

Wilkommen, bienvenue, welcome . . .

Klaus Nomi - Lightening Strikes

How about Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley

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

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.

Hmm, that definitely has potential! I'll see if I can get a clean copy of the song.

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.

I've got the vinyl

"Jet Boy Jet Girl" by Elton Motello

"F*ck Off" by Wayne County

I have a digital copy.

The Stroke by Billy Squire

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.

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

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

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

What about Cha Cha Heels by Eartha Kitt and Bronski Beat?
