Not in the derogatory 'that's gay' sense of it being bad. But just really gay. YMCA would be an obvious choice. Bennie and the Jets was released thirty years ago today. That would be a pretty good choice.

"Floaty"?

― Aja (aja), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 07:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Pretty much any song with a house beat.

And "Gonna Make You Sweat" because of that Simpsons episode.

― billstevejim, Tuesday, 17 February 2004 07:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah the Foo Fighters are pretty gay. But not in a derogatory that's gay sense, because that would be inappropriate. I always thought Pat Smear was gay. But then I found out he was married. Probably still gay....'Learning to Fly' has lot of cross-dressing in the video, actually all there videos have cross-dressing, but which SONG is the GAYEST of GAY SONGS.

― Jaromil (Jaromil), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 07:58 (twenty-two years ago)

'Gonna Make You Sweat'...moving in the right direction, i think.

― Jaromil (Jaromil), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 07:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Pat Smear probably is gay!!!!

For CHRIST'S SAKE!!!!!

I saw a clip from an MTV awards show and saw him present an award to No Doubt. I yelled "Pat Smear?" Then when he said "No Doubt" I said "HE'S GAY!!"

― Aja (aja), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 08:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Scissor Sisters - "Step aside for the man"

"I'm free as hell to be a cornpone faggot dressing really really well,
I got my big black boots and my denim daisy dukes,
I got the bleached blonde hair and the leather underwear"

Miguel Brown - "He's a saint, he's a sinner"
That Kate Bush one they always play in gay clubs
Ken Laszlo - "Hey hey guy"

Nick Gilder "Hot Child In The City" -- if you imagine that Nick Gilder is a woman, which is not hard at all, because no man has ever sounded so woman-ey than in that song.

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 08:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Some Eurythmics stuff -- like 'Sweet Dreams'

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 09:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Perhaps "Move This" or "Pump Up The Jam" by Technotronic.

In Wayne's World 2, they're running from Chris Walken and they duck into a gay bar, and before the DJ turns on "YMCA," he's playing what I'm pretty sure was "Step It Up" by Stereo MC's.

― billstevejim, Tuesday, 17 February 2004 09:54 (twenty-two years ago)

"If You Don't Like The Village People, You're Fucking Gay"

Jacques Morali wrote the heaviest music ever
Glenn Hughes had a deeper voice than Will from Mortician
He wore chains before Slayer and Venom
Jacques Morali was portrayed by Steve Guttenberg

[Chorus 1:]
If you don't like the Village people- you're fucking gay
If you think Jeff Olson was better cowboy- you're fucking gay
If you think Ray Simpson was a better cop- you're fucking gay
If you think Y.M.C.A. was their best song- you're fucking gay

All death metal songs were ripped off from Village People
"Evil dead" by Death is actually "Liberation" from the Village People
Will Rahmer looks like he should be in the Village People
No, Morbid Florist wasn't a reference to Will Rahmer

[Chorus 2:]
If you think Death were good after their demos- you're fucking gay
If you think rape is wrong- you're fucking gay
If you think the holocaust wasn't funny- you're fucking gay
If you think of Hellhammer as the drummer of Mayhem- you're fucking gay

Y-O-U-R-E-G-A-Y You're gay

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 10:06 (twenty-two years ago)

"Dream On Dreamer" by The Brand New Heavies

WHAT????

by the way, some of you seem to be confusing 'gay' with 'camp' (not in the above case, that's just plain bizarre). it really isn't the same.

gayest song ever? something pre-aids, perhaps. with a real sense and belief that something good was around the corner, however misguided that may have been.

i'd say some sylvester. who qualifies both by being homosexual and making music that appealed to gay people at the time.
maybe 'over and over', which is about hanging around in a club, trying to get a shag at the end of a night. well, not just about that, but that's definitely a feature. maybe 'star', which is about self-belief. depends how stereotyped you want to be.

Patrick Cowley - "Menergy"

Some magazine or other called the Pet Shop Boys' "New York City Boy" "the gayest song ever recorded" when it came out. It would be a contender except it's not quite as good as the muscular disco tracks it's pastiching.

When it was in the charts it never once crossed my mind that it was a gay song! And I was at a British boarding school (gay sex a go-go!), so I was particularly foolish! (OK I probably hadn't heard the word "leatherman" before).

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 12:32 (twenty-two years ago)

on the note of leathermen, does anyone remember the ad for babycham where a woman walks into a bar and orders a babycham and then a big mustachioed, chaps-wearing fella orders one, too? it was like the ad was trying to say: babycham isn't gay, honest guv - only failing coz they got the gayest-looking person in the entire world to attempt to prove the point.

― Johnny Badlees (crispssssss), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

They still are, Johnny.

I guess it just depends on what you mean by "gayest song ever." I mean, there are songs by gay artists with gay subject matter, cf. Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy." And there are incredibly camp songs by gay artists/icons.

My vote - and I can hardly believe no one's nominated this yet - goes to the great Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)." And the video has to be seen to be truly believed.

I agree with Le Coq, and nominate all the singles done by Sin With Sebastian. The "female" vocals on his songs were even sung by males in falsetto.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 15:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Again this may be apocryphal but I read that the Village People's press line was that the band dressed as "archetypes of the American male" - native American, cop, construction worker, sailor and um er 'biker'.

If we're talking gay as in Overtly Homosexual Love Song, then I'm going with "Hand in Glove" by The Smiths. If we're talking Song That I Remember Gay People Being Really Into When I Used To Club, then it's Madonna's "Vogue."

Re: Depeche, it's their look as well as their sound c. Shake the Disease that I was referring to -- Martin's fro, Dave's eye makeup, and so on.
But Aja's right, "Master and Servant" was around the same time and has kinkier lyrics, so that is a better choice.

"Sometimes watch you walk the street at midnight
Sometimes I can feel you in the air
Looking good knew you would
All the time I understood

Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
You're so pretty

Everybody seems to look your way now
(Everybody seems to look your way)
Everybody wants to know your name
(Hey, hey, what's your name)
Feeling bright just tonight
Hear them say you're out of sight

Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
You're so pretty

Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
You're so pretty

All the boys we got to get together
All the boys together we can stand
We can go never know
All the things we need to show

Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
You're so pretty

Hey you're such a pretty boy (you're so pretty)
Hey you're such a pretty boy (you're so pretty)

Being Kinky does not equal Being Gay.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply that they are equal. The bondage/leather/slave thing just helped to break the tie between the two songs.
Lyrically, is "Speak and Spell" is one gay album:
You don't understand
This is a demand
And I think that I have to show you
Try to look inside
Take me for a ride
In the day and the night
Get to know you

Boys meet boys get together
Boys meet boys live forever
Don't say no
Boys say go
----------
But I maintain that their 1984-5 *look* was gayer.

agreed that depeche mode gives off a definite gay-vibe. which ISN'T the same thing as saying that any of them ARE gay. but then, i'm an american and anything associated w/ new romantic/british synth-pop has a pretty fey feel (which, again, does NOT necessarily mean that the new romantic/british synth-poppers actually WERE gay!)

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 21:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Exactly. "Disco Sucks" didn't end when disco died. It pretty much continued on well into the 80s, especially in the mid 80s, often using English synth pop groups as the whipping boys (pun DEFINITELY not intended). Ironically, the bands championed by the "Disco sucks" crowd eventually started to look far more glam than the "Euro fags" they made fun of.

Since when? Marriage doesn't mean you stop being bisexual (or gay and closeted as the type of people who go cruising for tranny hookers will attest to.) Not that Gahan is either necessarily, but it doesn't disqualify him.

Vince Clark was identifying as straight last I heard.

In any case, "What's Your Name?" and "Boys Say Go!" are gay songs based on lyrical content. Their gayness doesn't diminish or become strengthened based or their writers or performers orientation.

Or Contained, really. And it seems to be more widely heard in this horrible place anyway. It's not quite so explicit, but the lyrical theme almost has to be gay. Well, unless Dickon Edwards is masochistic, which is probably equally plausible.

In that tip of a summer, nothing could mar those tentative times in that wreck of a car. I was yours for the asking, a child afraid. Sent unfettered letters, postage unpaid. In identical avenues that no one would miss, the world could not touch us but we could not kiss. For in this life that is measured out in bus stops and rain, you were my teacher but I was contained.

Looking for lyrics to the Skatt Brothers' great "Walk the Night" on line, I found this excellent article, which may be helpful (and which does, in fact, include the Skatt Bros lines I had in mind to quote):

------
Music from a Bygone Era
By Gayle Rubin

The Catacombs on 21st Street was San Francisco's major fistfucking club from 1975, when it was opened by Steve McEachern until 1981, when it closed following Steve's sudden death from a heart attack. Steve's surviving lover Fred reopened the Catacombs on Shotwell Street, where it enjoyed another run from 1982-1984.

My first encounter with the "music of the baths," or music programmed to enhance S/M or fistfucking, was at the 21st Street Catacombs, where Steve and friends put together a series of brilliant tapes. The party tapes relied primarily on disco and electronic space music, although there were also rock, soul, funk, and other genres. Upbeat and driving songs dominated the prime time party soundtrack, while slow, spacey stuff came on in the early hours of the morning. The following annotated list is drawn from memory, fragmentary documentation, and records obtained when Fred sold some of Steve's personal effects.

Skatt Brothers, "Walk the Night/Fear of Flying/Life on the Outpost." "Walk the Night" was a particular anthem of late '70s gay male S/M. The Skatt Brothers were similar to the Village People, but with lyrics that were darker and more explicit, for example: "He's got a rod beneath his coat/gonna ram right down your throat/make you grovel on the floor/spit, bump, and scream and beg for more."
Bette Midler, "Knight in Black Leather." This send up of gay leather was another Catacombs greatest hit. Midler was backed up by a male chorus. At one point, the chorus is singing, "we're in control," when they trail off in a descending scale, as if their poppers had just hit.
Hot Chocolate, "Heaven"
Rick James, "Love Gun"
Grace Jones, "I need a Man"
Kiss, "I Was Made for Loving You"
Kraftwerk, "The Man Machine" album, "Radioactivity"
The Village People, especially "Macho Man," "San Francisco," "In the Navy," "YMCA," and "My Roommate"
Donna Summer, especially "Queen for a Day" and "Sunset People"
Jean Michel Jarre, "Oxygene" and "Equinoxe" (played late night and early morning)
Klaus Schulze, "Timewind" (late night and early morning)
Space, "Just Blue," "Save Your Love for Me," and "Deliverance"
Elton John, "Love Lies Bleeding" and "Candle in the Wind"
Amanda Lear, "Follow Me"
Cindy and Roy, "Can You Feel It?" This was an obscure disco single with the lyric, "can you feel it in your body?/let your body move"
Joel Diamond Experience, "Music Machine." Another obscure disco song with a repeated refrain of "in and out," which seemed utterly in keeping with all the arms pumping away.
the disco versions of Ravel's "Bolero"
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, "Electricity"
Giorgio Morodor, "The Chase" (theme from the movie Midnight Express) and the B side of "Theme from Battlestar Galactica and Other Compositions" (Steve used the other compositions)
Music from "2001: A Space Odyssey," "Star Wars," and "The Wizard of Oz"
There were other Catacombs songs I remember well but do not know the names or the artists. One featured a male vocalist who sang, "you need a strong love...a man's love." Another spoke of needing to be "changing jobs" after staying out at too many all-night parties. If anyone knows of these or recalls other songs from the Catacombs, please contact me in care of Cuir Underground.

Gayle Rubin has been chronicling the history of the local leather community for nearly two decades.

― Tuomas, Monday, 14 February 2011 11:43 (fifteen years ago)

When that song came out I was a 15-year old Eurodance lover, and I could tell that even within the (already quite gay-friendly) genre such as Eurodance, it was very noticeably gay.

― naus, Monday, 14 February 2011 12:06 (fifteen years ago)

then why is he in the bed with a woman?

I'm pretty sure the woman is a drag queen - also, the female vocals on this song (and all the other Sin with Sebastian songs) are actually done by guys. And it's not Sebastian she's in bed with rather than some random hunk. Anyway, if that song is not enough, you should check out the SwS album, there's more explicitly gay material on it.

Army of Lovers is a good contender, especially their videos and visual look, but lyrically they weren't as gays as Sin with Sebastian. Plus the band had two buxom female members who were always showing off their cleavage, that certainly gives them a few hetero points.

...also why is there no Judas Priest in this thread?

― m0stlyClean, Wednesday, 23 February 2011 04:42 (fifteen years ago)

Do Judas Priest have some gay songs (I'm not familiar with them)? Just because your singer is gay doesn't mean you're automatically eligible for the Gayest Song Ever.

All Judas Priest songs are about fisting.

They did that song about Kelly Ripa. "All hear my warning/never turn your back/on the Ripa!"

On the flipside, I disqualify any Pansy Division song because they're too obvious about wanting to write the Gayest Song Ever.

Judas Priest.
Turbo Lover.

Even if the singer were not gay, this would still be the gayest song ever because it's the gayest song ever. And it's awesome.

Delirious by Mekon/Marc Almond is pretty gay, in a loud, glittery in-your-face way
