What about gay love songs?

I kissed a boy and I liked it, the taste of his cherry ChapStick. I kissed a boy just to try it, I hope my girlfriend don't mind it.

Literally cannot hear the original anymore without singing these lyrics, Sub Radio messed me up so bad (and I love it)

Also definitely adding it to our wedding playlist to sow confusion, such a good idea!

I was delighted when I went to a Korean karaoke, and on the machine, Gay Bar from Electric Six was there.

One of my best memories.

So ...

Keol!

Neoreul derigo gago sipeo, gei ba!

Neoreul derigo gago sipeo, gei ba, gei ba, gei ba!


걸!

너를 데리고 가고 싶어, 게이 바!

너를 데리고 가고 싶어, 게이 바, 게이 바, 게이 바!


(I do not speak Korean lol)

So it seems that the standard grammar of Korean is Subject-Object-Verb, as opposed to English which is Subject-Verb-Object...

But apparently, if you want to really emphasize the object, it is unusual, but you can place the object at the end.

So... this is my machine assisted attempt at doing that, lol.

I am probably making mistakes I am completely unaware of.

If any Korean speakers stumble across this, your assistance would be appreciated!

Which is the line they had to actually censor in the radio and music video, because this was 2003 and everyone was still in post 9/11 - pre Iraq 2 "and I'm proud to be an American/freedom fries" style insanity.

The FCC can suck on my cock and choke on my balls.

Reminds me of Michael Buble's cover of "Santa Baby" where he changed it to "Santa Buddy" to make it less gay(?) and it absolutely did not do that.

I didn't really understand the song Take Me To Church on an emotional level until I heard Annapantsu's gay woman cover. Then it all made sense.

Sooo... No to "I Kissed a Boy and I liked it"?

13

If you do that, then next time around you have to sing "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy".

There's a song called Spooky (originally by Classic IV) where one of the lines is him proposing to the girl on Halloween. There's a couple covers made by girls: the first one is aligned to the girl's POV where she gets proposed to, but the second one has the girl proposing to him, which is way more based imo

Is it that one that ends like

You're so SPOOOOOKAAAAY

SPOOOOOKAAAAYYY

SPOOOOOOKAAAAYYYUHHH

If it's worth belting out, it's worth ignoring your gender and sexuality for imo

I really appreciated Kings of Leon's cover of Dancing on My Own. That gravelly ass belt of "I'm not the girl you're taking home!" Is just incredible 😆

Is it gay if I pretend to straddle a battleship cannon while performing “If I Could Turn Back Time”?

Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy by Queen

I Kissed A Girl by Katie Perry

Take Me To Church by Hozier

Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko

Huge dude with a deep voice and I love doing heart for karaoke. They didn't use many pronouns now I'm thinking about it, but no one ever listens to "these dreams" the same again.

Cuz I'm a black magic woman, I'm tryna make a devil outta... you.

That doesn't really rhyme does it.

Not gender bending lyrics about your relationship with others is one thing, but misgendering yourself is another. I'm sorry, but Luke Combs calling himself a "checkout girl" in that cover of "Fast Car" just doesn't sound right.

With all the pide and passion I sing
"Ese barco velero cargado de sueños
Cruzo la bahía"
And when the part of
"Olvidaste que yo gaviota de luna
Te estaba esperando!"
I cry because I miss him dearly and he stole my heart.
