Someone recently told me the gay national anthem is 'YMCA', what the hell? I think we need a new one, perhaps a Classic Rock song. What do you* think?

*Gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transexuals and even straight people may contribute.

:confused: I thought it was "It's Raining Men". We have to get this gay conspiracy straight.


Wait...

Is it? Well, that isn't much better.

Dare I ask what a 'tri-sexual' is?
Last I checked we were limtied to two genders...

WTF is an omnisexuals and trisexuals??

omnisexual means basically "i am attracted to all people" and trisexual basically mean "i will try anything sexual once." of course,im sure he is only talking about accepted sexualities,not anything like necrophiles or pedophiles. that would be totally disgusting.

(rolls eyes)

Questioning can't have input?

I edited it. It was a bad attempt as a joke, derived from a god joke. But back to the topic at hand, megh.

A three-wheeled transportation device used by small children.

Pfft if you can't decide your orientation why would we let you near our music? :D

:eek: :D Of the two songs the its raining men is absolutely a god song so i would prefer it but if you can come up with an adaquit song that is not so obvious i would vote for it.

I don't believe in the concept of a "gay national anthem." If there were, I'd think it'd be "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor.

Gays don't need a national anthem. Being gay is a lifestyle, not a country. :rolleyes:

The 'Its raining men" song is too obvious.

I'm extremely disgusted to here about this crap and WTF does it have to do with Govt. ??? And Plus the GAy maggot song is actually "touch me harder" By MJ

The official soundtrack for the gay mafia is Kylie Minogue's "Impossible Princess" album ;)

Don't ask.

I still don't know what you people mean by the gay "lifestyle," despite being gay all my life. It hasn't affected my lifestyle at all. Does who you fuck or get fucked by do that to yours?

Gays don't need a national anthem. Being gay is a lifestyle, not a country. :rolleyes:
Just for that you don't get a vote. :p

Blasphemer! It's actually a compilation album with such prominent tracks as "I should be so lucky", "Chocolate", "Slow", "Love at first sight" and "Your disco needs you". But that's just a sample! Call now to receive the rest! Our operators are standing by!

No music will be delivered. No refunds. Fass is in no way responsible for gaying up your drear existence.

So, If I were to be into necrophiles, you would think I am disgusting?

How about just singing The National Anthem...with a lisp.

You're so discrete too. :D

Not original enough.

Oh, just load up your mp3 players with Pet Shop Boys and Morissey. Who needs an anthem? We need a soundtrack, rather...

:p A compilation CD would cost more

It's made in a Russian sweatshop by East European teens, aspiring to earn a role in our next "I like your long NS poll, mister" video.

So, it's quite cheap, you see.

Not original enough.
Oh like picking Gloria Gaynor was original. :rolleyes: Why not just pick something by Cher or Barbara Streisand?

What would we put on it?

They scare the hell out of me and I don't think they can sing well, but lets vote on it.

What would we put on it?

As we've already stated, Kylie Minogue. Front to back! Your disco needs you!

How 'bout The Pink Panther?

:D

Gays have their own national anthem? Eww... And to suggest a classic rock song, which means it has a high chance of being a good song, that's hard to believe anyone said that.

:D
Hell... go the full 9 yards: "Pink" by Aerosmith

Why?

I am a cynic and enjoy the Doors so I suggested it. Its just a bit of fun. I also listen to Classic rock because I don't care for the new music thats produced.

I suggest you take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the concepts of the NationStates forums. Let's start with the General forum, and the concept of "Anything and Everything". Next, have a look at the rules of these forums, as explained in the link below my signature. Pay special section on the parts that explain about flamebaiting, flaming , and trolling. You might then want to read the FAQ, the sticky topics, and a few threads, before randomly spouting off.

And that is a real song,this kid i know has a CD that has that on it

It is? I must not be getting the memos.

Ah, yes, the mighty and proud nation of Gay. A rich cultural heritage and history they have.

Now, is it the Kingdom of Gay? The Queendom? The United States of Gay? How about the People's Republic of Gay?

Furthermore, while I realize this is all a joke, why have there been so many crappy songs suggested? Why does the gay "national anthem" have to be a stereotypical flamboyantly gay song? The gay national anthem should be a Led Zeppelin song because Zep rules and it would adequately demonstrate how awesome gay people are. I humbly suggest, "When The Levee Breaks".

The Region of Gay (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/32776/page=display_region/region=gay).

Didn't you get the memo?

The Region of Gay (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/32776/page=display_region/region=gay).

Wouldn't that be a regional anthem, then?

Seriously, Gloria Gaynor will be hard to beat, especially with songs such as this one. (http://www.lyrics007.com/Gloria%20Gaynor%20Lyrics/I%20Am%20What%20I%20Am%20Lyrics.html)

the People's Republic of Gay
*voted most accurate description yet*

Wouldn't that be a regional anthem, then?
You say to-MAY-to, I say to-MAH-to ...

What about Joan Jet's I love Rock'n'roll?

Why should homosexuals have some impotent disco anthem? Being gaybashed isn't all strobelights and sequins!

Exactly! The gay national anthem should kick ass, not suck ass.

There is a 'Queendom of Gay Man Land' in my region (Wysteria)

Here are my suggestions:
Light My Fire- Doors
I Wish- Stevie Wonder
Cocaine- Eric Clapton
Black Magic Woman(because it kicks ass)- Santana
Purple Haze- The God of Music Jimmie Hendrix
LSD- Beatles
Some Pink Floyd song

damn straight. i'm subtle like invasive brain surgery.

What's wrong with the YMCA song? It rocks! And the actions are fun! And the actual YMCA gets royalties when it's played. And it can be used to torment people who actually work for the YMCA. *evil grin*

*wanders off, humming "it's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A... young man, there's a place you can go... you can stay there, and I'm sure you will find many ways to have a good time..."*

Only problem with the YMCA song is it does leave out gay women rather.

Lesbians have Melissa Etheridge.

my suggestion for anthem however is:

"I am what I am"

Ohhh, thaay can you theee.. by the dawnth early light...

omnisexual means basically "i am attracted to all people"
God. Omnisexuals must be fucking ugly to have such low standards.

Ohhh, thaay can you theee.. by the dawnth early light...

that would be for the flamers...

that would be for the flamers...
Yeah.

Oh, and let's not forget "God Thave the Queen."

I vote Ce Ce Peniston - Finally.

I dunno why, it just rings to me as a "gay song" since watching Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

What about Joan Jet's I love Rock'n'roll?

Why should homosexuals have some impotent disco anthem? Being gaybashed isn't all strobelights and sequins!

I'll say! Strobelights give me seizures! ;)

Hmm. For an obvious song, how about "Relax" by Frankie Goes To Hollywood? Or "Take a Walk on the Wild Side" by whoever does it?
For a few slightly less obvious ones, there's "C.S.F." by Pansy Division or "Musical Fanzine" by Team Dresch.
For classic rock, there's always Queen, or perhaps "Revolution" by the Beatles.

It wouldn't really work as a national anthem, but I must bring up 'I'm the only gay eskimo'

Oy ...

There are many Gay anthems ...

Sister Sledge's "We Are Family", which is where the term "Family" in referrence to gay people came from. "Him? Oh yeah ... he's ok ... he's a friend of the family." etc etc. I'd say this would be number one for anthems, but there are others which can work nicely:

Melissa Machester's "Don't Cry Out Loud".
Charlene's "I've Never Been To Me".
Abba's "Dancing Queen"
Just about anything by Cher.
Husker Du's "Zen Arcade" album.

The "duh" of the decade award goes to Diana Ross's "I'm Comin' Out", though. :D

When you think "Gay Anthem", think "Torch Song". Unfulfilled longing, unrequited love, forbidden passions ... that sort of thing.

Evidently the anthem should be "Dies Irae" by Mozart, simply because of how evil it manages to sound.

Aside from that, my eternal favourite "Montagues and Capulets for Romeo and Juliet" by Prokofiev....

or "O Fortuna", by Orff. these I'd be glad to sing.

Its obviously Counter Spark by Sondre Lerche...

why obviously... because I like it.

Well if that isn't reason enough for you i dont know what is.

I think we should have an album, not a song, and that album should be the eponymous Rage Against The Machine, because of how we do loathe The System and it beating us down so. Or possibly that song "Everybody's Got AIDS" from Team America - World Police.

When you think "Gay Anthem", think "Torch Song". Unfulfilled longing, unrequited love, forbidden passions ... that sort of thing.Ooh, that reminds me: "Losing My Religion" by R.E.M.

"Everybody's Got AIDS" from Team America - World Police.

A song so class I bought it from the Apple Music Store.

I had another song, but I can't remember what it was now. :mad:

I thought that it's "Ain't there Nobody Straight in L.A" by the Miracles.

My personal hymn, though, would be "Lesbian Girls" by Kool Ade Acid Test (http://www.hazelwood.de/koolade/index.php).

What a song. What a soundtrack. Normally I can't stand Trey Parker and Matt Stone, but then they surprised me with that, I must say.

hmmmmm... well maybe 'don't speak' by gwen stefani... or maybe 'relax' by frankie goes to hollywood..

I'm wondering who voted this in? Is there a gay Congress? Was it a phone in poll? My gay friends will be pissed that they missed it...

Frankie Goes To Hollywood: Relax

This is an amazing song from Tom Robinson, he sang this in the 70's. He has since married a woman, had a kid and still continues to campaign for equality.

"Sing If Your'e Glad to be Gay".....Tom Robinson

The LA police are the best in the world
I don't believe one of these stories I've heard
About pretty policemen in leather and jeans
Showing their leg through a slit in the seams
Seeking out superstars, leading them on
Then running them in when they start to respond
But back home in Britain, we're equal and free
Except when the case is a Labour MP

Sing if you're glad to be gay
Sing if you're happy that way

Pictures of naked young women are fun
In Titbits and Playboy, page three of The Sun
There's no nudes in Gay News our last magazine
But they still find excuses to call it obscene
Read how disgusting we are in the press
The News of The World and the Sunday Express
Molesters of children, corruptors of youth
It's there in the paper, it must be the truth

Sing if you're glad to be gay
Sing if you're happy that way

The Liars of Wapping are really the pits
Commissioned by bigots and written by shits
They plaster their pages with bingo & tits
Then add all the scandal and slander that fits
They pick off their victims, destroying their lives
They smear as they sneer as they damn and despise
If it's "Paedophile Teachers" or "Lesbian Scum"
If it's filth and it's fiction it's... there in the Sun

Sing if you're glad to be gay
Sing if you're happy that way

For 21 years now I've fought for the right
For people to love just whoever they like
But the right-on and righteous are out for my blood
Now I live with my kid and a woman I love
Well if gay liberation means freedom for all
A label is no liberation at all
I'm here and I'm queer and I do what I do
And I'm not gonna wear... a "straight" jacket for you


Sing if you're glad to be gay
Sing if you're happy that way, hey
Sing if you're glad to be gay
Sing if you're happy that way

I'm wondering who voted this in? Is there a gay Congress? Was it a phone in poll? My gay friends will be pissed that they missed it...
No one told me either, but I'm bi so maybe I only get half a vote.

Ditto. My half a vote goes to "American Idiot" by Green Day. :D SUCK ON THAT!

Homophobia — Chumbawamba
Ode to Joy — Gay angel Kaworu Nagisa's favorite song

Ditto. My half a vote goes to "American Idiot" by Green Day. :D SUCK ON THAT!

Ditto. But I'm not sure what to vote for.

Maybe Red Tape by Agent Provacateur (or however you spell it). Not because of the lyrics, but because it's a dang good song.

EDIT: Dare I admit this, but I'm rather partial to some Indigo Girls stuff too.

The gay anthem should SO be "Gay Rude Boys Unite" by Leftover Crack.
Intolerant society rears it's ugly face
you're turning your hardcore music into a homophobic disgrace
the gay ones, the straight ones, the white tan yellow and black
gay rude boys and girls, we're gonna take that dancehall back
we'll take it back, we'll take it back
because without respect there's gonna be nothing left

That'd be dumb if it were YMCA. It means Young Men's Christian Association.

I was told thats what it was, but I'm not in the know.

How about Streets of Philadelphia? You know, with all the brotherly love.

I was told thats what it was, but I'm not in the know.

It is. But the song was certainly not written by or for the Young Mens Christian Association. It's very, very gay. I suggest you look out the lyrics.
