I wasn't sure where was the right place to post this. Since Chez Tremblay is pretty much about all topics, I've decided to post it here. But if the mods think it is wrong please moved to wherever you think it is best. Also, if this is already posted anywhere else, please delete or merge.


And the Gayest Songs Of All Time Are....
Local News, By Tim D, 5th March, 2008

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. Drum roll please….the Gayest Songs of All Time, from 50 to 21, are:

50. Elton John and George Michael “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me”
49. Dead or Alive “You Spin Me (Like A Record)”
48. Pet Shop Boys “New York City Boy”
47. Diana Ross “Chain Reaction”
46. Deborah Harry “I Want That Man”
45. Cher “Strong Enough”
44. RuPaul “Supermodel (You Better Work)”

Artiste, you can post whatever you want. You don't need to ask for permission. As far as I am concerned the only rule in this site is no personal attacks.

That was fun, and of course I accept it's got an Australian prejudice involved in it.

Loved (and agreed with) most of the top 10, though I do not see the #1 song as THAT one while relagating Macho Man to #16  :o

I know! 

What about "Copacabana"?  Campy maybe, but gay?

Some of these songs are by gay artists, some have gay themes, or gay relatable themes (Over the Rainbow), others are/have been just very popular songs in the gay community (the Australian gay community)

At least that's my take on their choices. I'm not gonna start saying which ones don't belong (in my opinion), just those I'm grateful to be reminded of, as a gay man.

Dolly Parton is a "gay icon."

I always balk at lists with names like "50 [fill in the blank] of all time," but the oldest [blank] on the list is from only 30 years ago.  What about the previous centuries of [blanks]?

Well, my initial reaction to the list is that it seems to almost exclusively reflect things associated with gay male culture... and probably a lot of club culture.  Aside from K.D. Lang... tons of prominent musicians associated with lesbian culture are omitted here.  I mean, there's not even a Melissa Etheridge song listed here (no Ani Difanco, etc., etc.).

It's such a pet peeve of mine when lesbian culture is so separated out from gay culture in general.

the world was asleep to our latent fuss - bowie

Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!
