What is the gayest song of the 90's?

Would that be Jimmy Somerville dueting with Almond on a cover of ‘I Feel Love/Johnny Remember Me’?

Disco in general seems to be associated in a lot of people’s minds with homosexuality. It’s possible that’s just because disco happened to be thriving during the beginning of the modern gay rights movement, when gays were becoming more and more visable, but that’s just a guess of mine.

BTW, Jimmy Somerville just released a new album which if you pay for a membership can be downloaded at emusic.com.

I listen to his "Read My Lips’ album often.

What are you people talking about? Those are crappy songs, not gay songs,and they’re not even from the right period.

He asked for gay songs from the '90s.

Well, there’s a couple.

There’s room for debate, but in my opinion, the gayest song from the '90s, the one that best exemplifies the gay '90s is Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two). What could be more gay than being with your sweetie on a two-person bicycle.

Some others, though, include A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight, And The Band Played On and Sweet Rosie O’Grady

And just in case I misunderstood the OP and he did, in fact, want crappy songs from the '90s, the worst (although probably most popular) song from the era was the ghastly, treacley After The Ball. Bah. It’s downright cloying.

Fenris, who’s surprised he beat Eve to this! :stuck_out_tongue: :cool:

IMHO, it has to be Madonna singing “Vogue”

Definitely something by Turbonegro.

Midnight NAMBLA, Sailor Man, or maybe Rendezvous with Anus.

Marc Almond did a duet with Gene Pitney - Something’s Got A Hold Of My Heart

“In Norway, punk rockers go out with punk rock girls or telephone hookers, unless, they go out with themselves and do homosexual activity”.

Hey

“Girls and Boys” was on the album “Parklife”, released in 1994, and is one fucking gay song, if you ask me. I think that fits all the criteria, smartass.

Whooosh. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’d call ‘Girls and Boys’ pansexual, just like most of Bowie’s work, not specificaly gay.

Am I the only person who read this with Mojo JoJo’s voice?

FB

Really? I heard it in the voice of an English hard rock star. :wink:

Another vote for “I’m Too Sexy.”

Bing.

whooooooosh

I didn’t have to think too hard about “Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight” or “Bicycle Built For Two” to realize that Fenris posted those as songs of the Gay (Eighteen-)Nineties.

Tho’ I was going to say something like “In The Baggage Car Ahead.”

What about “I Could Never Be Your Woman”, O-Town. A sucky AND gay song!

As for any era, “Dancing Queen”, ABBA. They always seem to play that when someone comes out.

I was going to say “Smalltown Boy,” but that was on The Age of Consent album in 1984. A tad before the 90’s. Then I was going to say “Homosexuality” by the Pet Shop Boys, but their version was released in 2000, and it’s the cover of a Modern Rocketry song from 1986.

This gay guy spent the 90’s listening to Kurt Cobain and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, though, so my knowledge of popular gay music from the era is probably very limited (the RHCP have quite a few tunes which are queer-positive, to say the least, but probably nothing anyone here has heard of). So I’ll say “I wouldn’t normally do this kind of thing” by the Pet Shop Boys, which came out in '93, the same year I did :slight_smile:
