I nominate that for gayest song and video of all time. That abomination made Liberace look like Chuck Norris by comparison.
I’m shocked anyone could have possibly thought that George Michael was straight after that one.
Hah! I was on work trip to Minneapolis. Sitting in the bar/lounge of the Holiday inn. This woman comes up to me and asks to dance. Turns out she’s from Australia. It’s a slow song and we talk and dance. The song comes to an end and the band starts playing “Wake Me Up Before...”. People start emptying dance floor. She says, “You want to stay and dance?”. I say, “Sure!”
We danced that song off the floor. At the end people applauded and bought us drinks.
The night did not end until two in the morning and it did not end in the lounge. Her name was Catherine and she was a visiting nurse.
I have truly fond memories when that song plays.
I agree that video was incredibly gay but Billy Squiers Rock Me Tonight is just as gay, or gayer. Good song but very unfortunate video which did huge damage to Squiers career. Squier must have been extremely high to agree to that disaster.
Rock me Tonight gives Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go a run for its money in the gay department.
Wait. Did I say worst? I meant to say BEST!
