In the interests of helping struggling gay men to fag up their iPods, samesame.com.au has published a list of the 50 Gayest Songs of All Time. For the record, I have five of the fifty tracks in my collection:
42. Culture Club 'Do You Really Want To Hurt Me'
40. Wham 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go'
28. Cyndi Lauper 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'
6. Pet Shop Boys 'Go West'
1. ABBA 'Dancing Queen'
Three of these are in my collection as part of 80s nostalgia compilations. Who knew the 80s were so gay? In fact, who knew that 80s music is gayer than disco?
With the exception of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow', apparently all music was straight before the mid-70s. Prior to that, the campy tunes of Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Dietrich were never regarded by anyone as "fabulous", and Tchaikovsky's 'Waltz of the Flowers' was only enjoyed by women.
How many of these songs do you have, and which pink sparkly tunes have they omitted?

The Gayest Songs Of All Time, assuming that time began somewhere around 1977

I am not averse to new technology but I still don't have an iPod.
The list works equally well with collections of CDs, vinyl records or wax cylinders.
I believe that if you don't have at least one of the songs on the list, you are required to hand back your gay credentials and marry the nearest available woman.
Oh no GTR - marry a woman! I'll buy an iPod first thing tomorrow.
