I'm not a huge fan of Erasure, but I love the Nightbird album, it's fantastic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpiYcgUqQrQ

[SallyMander]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY_8woQ-HEA

[Oeditpus Rex]

2. Ruh-roh!

No time for popcorn.

:yoiks:

[JTG of the PRB]

3. Bah! There's ALWAYS time for popcorn!

:popcorn:

[MonkeyFunk]

4. Good list

but no way is "Over the Rainbow" 15 on the list. It's top 5.

[DarkTirade]

5. How could you leave this one out?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayZGZ2NSxs4

[Maddy McCall]

6. Hey, I didn't make the list, I just reported it.

[Bake]

7. Only one Cher song??? Blasphemy!!

Bake

[MonkeyFunk]

13. No, there were two Cher songs

"Strong Enough" and "Believe"

[Bake]

33. Oops, you're right!

I had trouble wading through all that really bad music ...

Bake

[MotorCityMan]

59. But they missed "Take Me Home", "Dark Lady" and

"Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves"

[begin_within]

8. No "Daniel" by Elton John?

[momophile]

9. 'Boys Say Go!' by Depeche Mode

should definitely be on that list!

[momophile]

10. and

"Don't Leave Me This Way" by the Communards; some Erasure; some YAZ.

[Thurston Howell III]

12. Blue Mercedes. I wasnt to be your property.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLhvfmX94zA

[Drunken Irishman]

14. Sorry, but It's Raining Men should be #1.

[FloridaJudy]

23. Yup.

One of my favorite videos: "It's Raining 300 Men"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etfTTANYQC0

[Drunken Irishman]

46. Did you ever see the Rupaul version?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjSMEzcPeZk

[Thurston Howell III]

16. Right Said Fred.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipZDG6__Zfc

[Scooter24]

17. This might get an honorable mention :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTN6Du3MCgI

Electric Six- Gay Bar

[Cannikin]

18. I'm pretty darn sure that THIS is the gayest song of all time...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbGkxcY7YFU

[Deep13]

25. No way, pal, you're not Rick-rolling me! nt

[Dr. Strange]

39. Buttrolled?

The videos are up in my internet with the weirdness.

[SKKY]

42. Ding! Ding! Ding! You win...

[DS1]

43. Agreed

[DarkTirade]

72. Oh man, I forgot about that one.

Or more likely blocked it from my memory... :P

Such a BAD song. Not even sure if it can really be called a song... I mean, there are a few notes in the background, but there's no actual MUSIC there.

[flvegan]

19. What, no Rick Astley?

:popcorn:

[quadriga]

20. I knew Pet Shop Boys would make it.

Was thinking Depeche Mode would be on there somewhere.

[mondo joe]

21. Chaka Kham? KhaM? Typo or suppressed homophobia?

I demand an answer!

[gbate]

22. There has to be at least one Smiths song on that list!!

[Deep13]

24. "All the Young Dudes" Bowie, "My Best Friend" Queen, "To Be Real" ?

[meegbear]

27. And you're basing this on ....

Lemme guess - David Bowie and Freddy Mercury, right?

[Deep13]

31. The title for one; the lyrics for the other.

And it is not unreasonable to suppose that people sing and write about what they know. Most love songs are sung by one gender about the other because that is what most people experience. Bowie and Mercury see it a bit differently.

[meegbear]

37. You're My Best Friend was written by bassist John Deacon ...

who is straight.

As a gay man and a classic rock fan, I find nothing in All The Young Dudes that would imply anything sexual.

[Deep13]

38. and?

The lyrics are such that it always seemed to me that he may have been singing about a gay love interest. It's vague enough so that it doesn't necessarily mean that, but it can.

I didn't say either song was necessarily sexual. My understanding from listening to gay advocates is that being gay is a perspecive, preference and self-identity, not necessarily a sexual practice. If I'm wrong about that, let me know.

Frankly, I am a little resentful at this attempt to draw me out as some kind of bigot because two songs remind me of homosexuality.

[meegbear]

40. You can take my comments any way you like ...

the point I'm making is that a person's sexuality isn't always relevant to a song.

[last_texas_dem]

54. I always thought the "I wanna relate to you" bit

was a sexual reference, but maybe I'm just a perv. haha

[pink-o]

64. All the Young Dudes was written by Ian Hunter of Mott the Hoople

Don't know his sexual persuasion, though.

And you're right, musicians are notorious gender benders. Famous womanizer Mick Jagger had an affair with Bowie, while Rod Stewart DEFINITELY had a fling with Elton John (they used to call each other "Phyllis" and "Sharon"). So gay musicians like the Judas Priest guy or Freddie (one of my all time favourites) can appeal to a straight audience and vice-versa.

[sammythecat]

73. Just checked it out

"All the Young Dudes" was written by David Bowie FOR Mott the Hoople.

[pink-o]

80. Oops! My bad for not googling it.

Or since I still have the CD (ancient technology such as it is) I could've looked at the composer's credits in the liner notes. Thanx for the clarification.

Bowie from that period was so amazing! Especially Diamond Dogs CD--Rebel Rebel has the best guitar riff eveh!

[terrya]

26. That's as comprehensive a list as I can think of.

I can't argue with any of them.

[MotorCityMan]

57. Good list, but a few I disagree with and my substitutes

You could replace

32. Sylvester “You Make Me Feel Mighty Real”

with "Do You Wanna Funk With Me" (for the longest time I thought he was saying "F*ck"), although "Mighty Real" is a good one.

25. Barry Manilow “Copacabana”

with "You're Looking Hot Tonight", a song Manilow did in the 80's that was a big hit in the clubs.

20. Dolly Parton “9 to 5” (Don't know how this made the list)

with "Potential New Boyfriend" (another 80's classic) or "Baby I'm Burning"

A few they missed that could have made the list;

"I'm So Hot for You (And You're So Hot for Me)"
"I Need a Man in My Life"
"So Many Men (So Little Time)" (How did they miss THAT one?)
"Take Me Home"
"It Feels Like I'm in Love"
"Where is My Man?" by the immortal Eartha Kitt
"I Need a Man" by the Eurythmics
Anything by the Supremes

[La Lioness Priyanka]

58. i still think it needs some lou reed

[Steven_S]

28. I see something missing....

About a dozen or more Bee Gee's songs.

All of their songs in fact.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

29. no lou reed? take a walk on the wild side

[Deep13]

32. Geez, even I know that one.

B-)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

34. i LOVE that song. its one of my favorites ever. its a very big deal since in general

i dont like male singers

[mitchum]

36. Yes, that and "Vicious" are both notable for their absence on that list

[GardeningGal]

69. Here you go....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ88oTITMoM

[stuntcat]

30. oh good lord, YOUR DISCO NEEDS YOU?

I never heard that before!
I was gonna suggest a Dolly Parton song but she's on the list already

Did anybody add this Scissor Sisters song yet? It makes me feel like dancing!!! :party:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXZ1tygRaVw

[Deep13]

35. What's that song for the credits of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy?"

I kind of like it.

Edit: Damn, didn't see the spelling error!

[Greyskye]

41. There is no way under the sun that THIS shouldn't be on the list.

I mean, come on!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hb63ruEt4I&feature=related

[triguy46]

44. These make me wanna get up and DANCE....

[Midlodemocrat]

45. Man. I am so out of the loop. 'Gayness' in any of those songs never occurred to me.

[uppityperson]

55. Me either. I wonder what makes these songs high on "Gayness"?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

56. some of them are sung by gay people. some are very popular in gay culture.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

81. unless something is specifically gay, by default it is straight.

because straights are the majority and our culture like most is heterosexist.

[Westegg]

47. Led Zeppelin's "Sick Again"...

...If I have to hear Plant screeching one more time about picking up twinks on the Sunset Strip, I'm gonna call the authorities.


"From the window of your rented limousine, I saw your pretty blue eyes
One day soon youre gonna reach sixteen, painted lady in the city of lies.

Oh, do you know my name? do I look the same
You know Im the one you want. I must be the one you need, yeah

Clutching pages from your teenage dream in the lobby of the hotel paradise
Through the circus of the l.a. queens. how fast your learn the downhill side

Oh, do you know my name? do I look the same
You know Im the one you want. I must be the one you need,.

Lips like cherries and the brow of a queen, come on, flash it in my eyes
Said you dug me since you were thirteen,then you giggle as you heave and sigh.

Oh, do you know my name? do I look the same
You know Im the one you want. I must be the one you need.

Hours, hours, and the moments in between, oh, baby, I couldnt count the times
The fun of comin, oh the pain in leavin, baby, dry those silver eyes

Oh, do you know my name? do I look the same
You know Im the one you want. I must be the one you need,

Ooh, thats right."

[KamaAina]

48. Where is the love for Air Supply?

And it's an Aussie site to boot!

#22 will come as a kick in the pants to my former employer, affectionately known as the Little Dunce: a smarmy homophobe -- and a Pirates fan...

[KamaAina]

49. No "Love Is In The Air"? And where, I ask you, are England Dan and John Ford Coley?

come to think of it, isn't John Paul Young Aussie, too? :shrug:

[HughBeaumont]

50. No Pansy Division songs?

I mean, you really can't get much gayer than Pansy Division.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansy_Division

:shrug:

[Ava]

51. i can't believe "freedom 90" isn't on the list

[LynneSin]

52. How is '9 to 5' in the top 5 of gay songs

It just doesn't scream 'I'm gay dance with me' all over it

[MotorCityMan]

60. I didn't agree with "9 to 5" either

They should have had Dolly's song "Potential New Boyfriend", which was popular in the dance clubs in the 80's.

[stuntcat]

61. me either

Dolly belongs on the list but for something different, like Jolene!

[stuntcat]

62. (like this here: )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FzrTIGJkdw

[applegrove]

53. I love a good portion of those songs.

[CreekDog]

63. "My Guy" by Mary Wells

I second "Freedom 90" by George Michael (and it's a damn good song I might add)

[Ava]

66. yup, it's a great song for anyone

gay, straight, asexual lol.. everyone!

[CreekDog]

68. Great songwriting in that one too

"All we have to do is take these lies and make them true"

Which sounds to me like being honest with others about who you really are. I love that song.

[Taverner]

67. Where's the Lee Greenwood? The Toby Keith?

Wait, they're not gay?

I swore they were....

Oh yeah...I get it...

Never mind

[WinkyDink]

70. Whatever song Bush danced to yesterday.

[1monster]

71. Naw. It's Jim Stafford's MY GIRL BILL. You don't find out till the end of the song

that Jim is telling his brother Bill to keep his hands off "My Girl" ....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTeWG38FoyY

Bill walked me to my door last night
And he said, 'Before I go
There's something about our love affair
That I have a right to know
I said, "Let's not stand out here like this
What would the neighbors think
Why don't we just...step inside
And I'll fix us both a drink"

My girl, Bill
My, my, girl, Bill
Can't say enough about the way I feel
About my girl
(My girl, my girl)
My girl, Bill

William's hands were shaking
As he took his glass of wine
And I could see we both felt the same
When his eyes met mine
I said, "'Who we love and why we love
It's hard to understand
So let's just sit here on the couch
And face this, man to man"

My girl, Bill
My, my, girl, Bill
Can't say enough about the way I feel
About my girl
(My girl, my girl)
My girl Bill

Bill, you know we just left her place
And we both know what she said
She doesn't want to see your face
And she wishes you were dead
Now, I know we both love her
And I guess we always will
But you're gonna have to find another
'Cause she's my girl...Bill

My girl, Bill
My, my, girl, Bill
Can't say enough about the way I feel
About my girl
(My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my little girl
My girl, Bill

My girl, Bill
My, my, girl, Bill
Can't say enough about the way I feel
About my girl
(My girl, my girl)
My girl, Bill

[LostInAnomie]

74. Without "It's Raining Men" on there, this list is crap.

That should be #1-10

[Maddy McCall]

79. It's #4

[UncleSepp]

75. Rammstein, "Mann Gegen Mann"

... absolutely gay, and hot as hell!

[UncleSepp]

76. Rammstein, "Mann Gegen Mann"

... absolutely gay, and hot as hell!

[joeybee12]

77. No more Tears should be #1 simply because it's both Babs and Donna together!

I can't bear to listen to that one anymore, but it's Babs and Donna, and it doesn't get any gayer than that.

[shawmut]

78. I think Carl Bean's, "I Was Born This Way" is the gayest song ever
