“Don’t let your son go down on me.” was Elton’s original lyric.
Wasn’t John McCain playing “Dancing Queen” at one of his rallies a while back?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but... hmmmmm....
I think it was, “PLEASE let your son...”
I have listened to only about 3-4 of these songs back in the disco 80’s.
To help celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Sydney’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, last month we asked you to vote for what songs out of the vast catalogue of musical history you think deserve to be called camp classics.
We received thousands of votes, and now that they have all been counted counted and triple-checked, we’re proud to finally reveal exactly what songs have made it into the final list of the Gayest Songs of All Time.
In the true spirit of a countdown, we’re going to be run through the list backwards, from 50 through to one.
Nope.
Tim Curry stays.
His cover of “Sloe Gin” kicks.
The don’t have “It’s Raining Men” or “I Feel Pretty”, the list is a travesty, a sham and a mockery.
That's gay???
I am thinking “Hand in Glove” by The Smiths should be on the list somewhere.
Village People did some overtly gay songs - “San Francisco” and “Fire Island” were huge gay club hits before “YMCA” became a top 20 song.
I have seven of those songs :(. Well six if you don’t count the fact that the “I Will Survive” I have is the Cake version and not the Gloria Gaynor version.
I’ve heard quite a few, and some of them, in their day, were okay songs. But somehow the “gay community” latched on to them, and now, apparently, they are “gay songs.” Go figure.
After reviewing the list, I have a strong urge to crank up some Led Zeppelin. I’m not sure why.
BS - Over the Rainbow is Gay now? Why? Because Jackass Jackson named his blackmailing organization “Rainbow Coalition”? We can’t let the homos hijack good words.

Very.
No problem. I don't have any of them. Not only that, but those I've heard of I can count on one hand, and that also goes for the performers.
2/3’rds of those songs I love!
