Vending Machine of Love by The Stupendium. Caters for all sexualities, plus full of silly puns
My best friend's ex-bf was Ukrainian and he showed me music videos for Kazaky. Seemed very gay and the music was cool (synthpop/EDM) and the videos, outfits and dancing seemed really good to me. It made me think of if Lady Gaga did a collar with Rammstein.
I watched his Push music video
This is by far the answer that meets the brief of "gay music video night" the most. Other videos were fun and all mvs are acceptable, but this is the type of video that would be extremely appreciated in that setting. Cunt dancing, genderfuck, punk, an edm type beat, a queer message, it's like perfect. Concocted in a lab to slay
Nice! Glad I was able to help.
I'm not gay myself, so I wasn't quite sure of some of your descriptors, but for a gay-bro music video night, I felt this would have to at least check some of the boxes.
Not gay, but this song was always SUPER fun to sing in Rockband. Not sure if it's too on-the-nose or what, but I stand by it as an absolute banger, regardless of who you're attracted to.
Electric Six - Gay Bar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XNFokmDKrE
Maybe open with that to lighten the mood? Also, it's only about two minutes long (plus an intro). Plus, taking the piss outta Lincoln.
This was a really good pick! Very fun and it had a strong pov. Plus, it's about gay shit so very on theme πββοΈπββοΈ
Cool! Glad a few people liked it.
That reminds me, something else that's not quite as on-the-nose, and was also fun as hell to sing on Rockband!
Semi-Precious Weapons - Magnetic Baby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCl2g_aL8rQ
Now, I always thought this song was gay (or at least LGBTQ+) but he's messing with a girl in the video and now I'm not so sure. But listen to the lyrics, it's at the very least genderqueer.
Bonus: This is what it looked like to us for years: Semi-Precious Weapons - Magnetic Baby (Rockband 2 Full Band Full Combo). This is not us playing, just found this on YouTube. I only ever sang it. I know my wife sang it and played it on drums. Maybe the other instruments. I couldn't do the instruments. I loved to sing it β anything punk adjacent was fun as hell to sing. I didn't even like emo (or pay attention to it) until I started playing Rockband. That shit's fun to sing too. I don't care how gay the lyrics are, if it's fun to sing, I was belting it out. Sometimes even sober! (The most fun we had was when we actually had a crowd, friends and whatnot around, they would pick the songs and we would play them, no matter how hard.)
This was going to be my suggestion.
Samwell - What What
This was incredible. So camp. When the bottoms started bumping purses??? πππ and then the fireworks in space??? Outstanding
Miracle Man by Ozzy Osbourne
This was a pretty good pick! The glam rock type of aesthetic along with the cathedral (bc drama + homophobia = gay) really match up well with the expectations!
I also do a lot of MV and concert nights with my metalhead buddies, but afaik I'm the only LG(B)T oneβI'm in stealth and probably will be until I move from my country.
Chrissy Chlapecka truly continues to gag me. Like her cunt level is just so powerful.
She started off with Brat, which was admittedly a studio space and a dream, and still ate down
This amount of slang that I'm unfamiliar with if not downright confused by in just a few sentences makes me feel very old, white, and cishet π¬π
(I like it, though, in case that wasn't clear)
The boy with a thorn in his side by the smiths.
The song itself was good but I found the music video a bit lacking tbh I'm sorry πππ I need production and drama and this looked like a random small venue concert performance π I do love the lead singer effeminately swaying the whole time, so it will get a passing grade πββοΈπββοΈ
