[19sixtysix]

What is gayer than a dancing queen.

Man after midnight!

mmmm

 

[Detroit City]

anything by Liberace?

 

[Reno]

Man after midnight!

mmmm

Good call!

That comes after the dancing.

 

[Reno]

That's just camp and not neccessarely that gay. He appealed to more blue rinsed ladies than to gay men.

Gets you in the mood though while smiling at the hunk on the dance floor.

[Orang Utan]

More camp/gay/stupid looking confusion

 

[Belushi]

The Gayest record ever doesnt seem to appear on that list.

I'm talking of course about the classic 'Why Can't a Woman be more like a Chap?' from the ever wonderful My Fair Lady.

 

[D'wards]

No Man 2 Man meets Man Parrish - "Male Stripper"? This list is full of fail!

I was trying to think of that one, rather than the happy camp offerings, this is the "Cruising" type seedy gay underworld of handlebar moustaches, hairy men in leather waistcoats and aggresive (consentual) buggery.

Far gayer than Dancing Queen, when you think about it.

 

[killer b]

nowt by divine either.

bollocks.

For some reason pk seems to think that just naff = gay as he/she is just keeps posting pics from the "Worst Recod Covers Ever" book/website.

 

[killer b]

aye. and everyone else got bored of that website in 1992 anyway...

Yes Reno, I have.

Do you not see the clear as day allusions to homosexuality in any of the above pictures, or are you just determined to pin the gay=naff slur on someone?

I see clear allusion to "not having a fucking clue what you are on about" unless you think that any crappy album cover featuring some chaps with their shirt off or some unintentionally "hilarious" pun qualifies as music that has meant something to gay people in the past.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

How can that list be taken seriously when this song isn't on it?



"Homo superior.....in my interior....."

 

[killer b]

thanks for that johnny. i didn't know about pete shelley's gay electro-pop phase until now.

Ooooh get her! I'm sure those LP's meant a lot to gay men in the past!

Anyway - no Bronski Beat therefore that list is shite.

The thread doesn't ask for 'the 50 songs most meaningful to gay people'; it's asking for the 50 gayest records of all time.

There is Bronski Beat on the list you silly oaf.

Tbh, I didn't even pick up on the gay bit when it was first out: I was pretty fresh off the prairies at that point. I just liked the punchy techo beat. It started to come clear when a fellow worker from a labouring job was over, and I said hey, listen to this, and put it on. He got all uncomfortable.

Please define the difference for me then, because those are the songs that got played most in gay venues over the last three decades or so.

How nice for you. I entered my first 'gay venue' in 1975. One of the reasons that 'gay venues' were popular with a certain crowd back then, was that they tended to be really cutting edge in the music they played. Usually, at the end of the night, they'd play one of these camp classics that are on the list, just to give everyone a laugh.

Maybe YMCA is meaningful to British gays: who knows?
