17. Frankie Goes To Hollywood, "Relax"
16. Village People, "Macho Man"
15. Judy Garland, "Over The Rainbow"
14. Bronski Beat, "Smalltown Boy"
13. Diana Ross, "I'€™m Coming Out"
12. Cher, "Believe"
11. Gloria Gaynor, "I Am What I Am"
10. Alicia Bridges, "I Love The Nightlife"
9. Madonna, "Vogue"
8. Olivia Netwon-John "Xanadu"
7. Kylie Minogue, "Better The Devil You Know"
6. Pet Shop Boys, "Go West"

    I thought of No. 16 first when I read the thread title :)

    Although I'm quite surprised that Right Said Fred - "I'm too sexy" Didn't make the final cut.
    NERDS!

    AHhhahahah.
    XANADU.
    Ahahahahahh.
    Gayest movie (and song), EVER.

    Could we add the entire Grease soundtrack to that list?
    (sorry Grease lovers)

    Also, good to see the Village People coming in with 3 wins here.

    "I'm Coming Out" is a personal favorite of mine. I have a gay friend who used to pick me up in his beat up old conversion van and we would carpool to highschool ... maybe smoke some pot on the way ... and he had a little boombox jerry rigged to the cigarette lighter with a casette tape that had this song on it, and for some reason i used to love hearing it on the way to school. Maybe it was the pot? It really motivated me to go be bored in school all day long.

    I would have liked to see a Color Me Badd song on there too, how about I Wanna Sex You Up or All For Love?


    Also a shame some hairbands didn't make this list:
    Firehouse - Don't Treat Me Bad
    Mr. Big - To Be With You


    EDIT: BTW, unfortunately this entire thread risks being shut down by th PC-Mod-Crew for the term "gayest" ... i wish they'd exempt this thread. Because its too fucking funny.

    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    "You Think You're A Man" - Divine

    A "great" song that ended up being totally redone by Kurt's alt-punk "legends", The Vaselines.
    [here is some guy remixing the Vaselines version, btw]

    I think any song by Pet Shop Boys is pretty Gay...

    Not that there is anything wrong with that.

    My personal fave is Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money). So gay but soooooooo catchy.

    it was a "dance anthem".
    C & C - Everybody Dance

    ugh.

    Don't forget the sister song to Everybody Dance Now,

    Good Vibrations - Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch

    Funny, Wahlberg actually gets a lot of credit in old old oldschool rave circles for being a club dj innovator.
