Gayest Song? Ever?
You may wish to contradict me on this, but you’d better have a cast-iron, big hairy beast from the depths of hell counter-argument, because I think my case is watertight.
Have you ever, anywhere, in all your born days heard a song so screamingly, mincingly, gloriously prancingly pirouetting in a spangly silver jumpsuitingly camp as this anywhere in the universe, ever? I just don’t think it can be done – listen to it, it’s 24-Carat genius!
Meco – Star Wars
Submissions please.
I used to own this song by the way, when I was about 8, and unless I’m mistaken it charted pretty highly in the States. I seem to remember that I considered it incredibly cool at the time, but then I’ve always been a bit racy.
Racy? Racy?? You sound camp as Christmas.
Putting the ‘Camp’ into the Capmfires & Battlefields!
Honey, I’m camp as Valentine’s Day.
It’s not camp….its fucking shite.
Campest song in the world?? ‘Piff Paff Poff’ by Sebastian & Steve.
Shite? JC, that’s heresy! It is far, far too funny to be shite. Nothing this terrible can genuinely be shite, it’s things that are trying to be good that end being shite most of the time.
And that’s me decided, we are having a Gay Off – C&B gets the next nomination, then it’s your turn!
how can you scar your blog with such a song?!
Scar? This is a fucking hilarious song! It’s only going to get worse if I get any more off people.
So I played this for the wife and my 6- and 4-year-old boys, both of whom are dyed-in-the-wool Star Wars fans, came running upstairs demanding to hear it again. Apparently they’ve inherited their father’s raciness.
Pretty gay indeed, but it can’t hold a lightstick to just about anything from Death Cab or Dashboard Confessional.
Bloody hell, Terry, I’ll never listen to ‘I Will Follow You Into The Dark’ In The same way again.
Some things are so hetero they do start to seem a bit gay. Nice call Terry – I shall find something by them for your entry, right after China’s turn.
…and come to think of it, who hasn’t taken part in a good circle jerk to the backdrop of Whitesnake or Motley Crue? The old soggy biscuit, isn’t that what you Brits call it?
That is a myth. Or at least I desperately hope it is.
It’s pretty camp, but for the real Ally-Daly you need to check out “Nomi Song” by Klaus Nomi.
