There are just some songs that are so gay that even a dude in a Jeep Wrangler* will stop you on the street and say “Dude, act less like a sissy.” Over lunch today, my buddy and I came up with four that were just Liberace gay, but which were subsequently made kinda cool by a different artist. Can someone come up with a fifth?
*Out Magazine’s Gay Mobile of the Year, only thing gayer than a Jeep Wrangler is watching Show Tunes with Richard Simmons (or Superbowl6Romeo) in one behind a bar called “Dick and Peters.”
#1, Faith, by Limp Bizkit
#2, Smooth Criminal, Alien Ant Farm
#3, Land of Confusion, Disturbed
#4, Boys of Summer, The Ataris
Anyone have a suggestion for #5?

Suggestion for #5, “Photograph” by Nickelback. God those guys blow. And this particular song makes It’s Raining Men sound like Slayer.

Anything by Simple plan.
How about Tainted Love by Marilyn Manson? He/she/it actually did a good job with it

You have a message from Congwessman Bawney Fwank about your obvious mocking of men in touch with their feminine side:
“Stop it, stop it stop it, bitches!! If you don’t stop it, I will twack you down and beat you all up. Weally! As soon as my special fwen Pewes and I stop off at the morgue for a couple of cold ones.”
I’ll take a slightly different take.
A song that LOOKS gay, but sounds pretty damn good.

Enjoy.

TSO, the music video he did for the song wasn’t bad either, the Punk/Goth girl eye candy was a morale boost, at least for me!
Check out Infected Mushroom if you like a good bass beat

“Careless Whisper” performed by Seether is my vote.

Manson: Sweet Dreams. Remake of the Eurythmics. Kicks ass. Hands down. Sentence fragments. Need coffee.
Or check out “Tragedy”. They’re a Bee Gees cover band that does all of their songs in heavy metal. They pretty much rock.
