derryfawne Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Let's talk about empowering songs like Christina Aguilera's Beautiful.Campy fun stuff like It's Raining Men.A balance of the two (I Will Survive).Songs that are written explicitly and specifically for gay audience (Born This Way).Or classics lamenting about hopeful future like Over the Rainbow.What are your favorite gay anthems? :hat: “Do not take life too seriously.

glowingember Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 For me, it's Go West by Pet Shop Boys.The melody is full of optimism...And the lyrics - 'There, where the air is free.We'll be what we want to be..."

derryfawne Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Man.....they dont make dance songs like they used to... They remind me of my circuit boy days!You are really into lots of gay disco songs, haha.I still enjoy the dance songs of today, though, I really don't mind Britney or Gaga haha.Of course Christina's Beautiful is number one.Indeed, I think Beautiful is the most empowering gay anthem since we hit the new millenium.As much as I love Born This Way, I found its transparent attempt as an LGBT anthem a bit forced and trite. “Do not take life too seriously.

steppenwolf Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) How about Smalltown Boy by The Bronski Beat? You leave in the morning with everything you ownIn a little black caseAlone on a platform, the wind and the rainOn a sad and lonely faceMother will never understandWhy you had to leaveFor the answers you seek will never be found at homeThe love that you need will never be found at homeRun away, turn away, run away, turn away, run awayRun away, turn away, run away, turn away, run awayPushed around and kicked around, always a lonely boyYou were the one that they'd talk about around townAs they put you downAnd as hard as they would try, they'd hurt to make you cryBut you'd never cry to them, just to your soulNo, you'd never cry to them, just to your soul Edited October 10, 2011 by steppenwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derryfawne Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Most people know this song from "Glee". It's one of my personal gay "anthems".Billie Holiday is a beautiful soul.Love your choice from Shirley Bassey too.derryf: Gawd! Am glad Im NOT the only one who found Born This Way contrived!This song was popular when I was a circuit boy in the making! Yeah. It was good that she embraced her LGBT fans, though.And darn, you pretty much just posted the catchiest song on this thread so far, although steppenwolf's choice below is not far behind either.How about Smalltown Boy by The Bronski Beat?Goosebump.

derryfawne Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 My first contribution to this thread is a song that had been playing non-stop in my iPod in the last couple of weeks.Vogue is one of those few Madonna songs that I can openly admit liking. It's tasteful 1990s disco, with a super-stylish music video that gets me asking why I've never bothered considering to take some dance lessons (especially in love with the 1:39-1.47 part). Heard this vogue-dancing is borrowed directly from the LGBT dancing scene, makes me wish I was already a teenager in 1990. “Do not take life too seriously.

derryfawne Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'm reviving this thread because I was reading an old list from Slant Magazine about Donna Summer's 'Love to Love You Baby':Cymbals brush against the back of her neck as she lifts her legs in the air. A kick drum works its way down her back, around and over to her stomach as her legs begin to part. Guided by liquefied bass riffs, her hands discard a pair of white panties. Her fingers tickle her tender nipples, dancing around the lower part of her breasts before making their way down to her abdomen toward the space between her legs. Steered by wispy synths, the fingers reach inside, spreading apart her seemingly infinite folds. The deeper they delve, the deeper the drum kicks. She works the area, nimbly and considerably, before climaxing to a stream of funky horns, pentatonic bass, horny strings and wah-wah guitar strokes. Her spent fingers withdraw to the sound of a piano, but she isn't done yet—the kick drum resumes and the ritual begins again. Donna's twat-twiddling may have only been a tongue-in-cheek recording session lark, but "Love to Love You Baby" has probably loosened up more orifices in the last 30 years than Bel Ami's entire back catalogue. Used to think of it as a repetitive nonsense that goes on for far too long, so I never really liked it. But today, I accidentally caught it on earphone, and man, that sensual falsetto cooing is... ok, let's just agree that Slant's last sentence about loosening up orifices is no joke.I think I would love to make love to 'Love You to Love You Baby' at least once in my life just to experience how it would be like. :oops: “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
