The top 5 songs I sing along to that might classify me as gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that)

By: Matt E. Warren on 10/28/08 @ 6:25 am

Look. I’m relatively new here. A lot of people have made the jump over with me and know me, but I’ll go out on a limb and say that the vast majority of the people reading this site wouldn’t be able to identify me or my writing style if I were to tape my blogs to my crank and thump ‘em in the head with it.

So you newbies know, I am an equal opportunity insulter. I pick on everybody in every category, and I do so because nobody is perfect. Not even me.

And I am the first to tell you that I pick on my shortcomings more often than a high class stripper gets a Visa card swiped in her ass crack (I assume that happens a lot, right?)

So, here I am. I am going to pick on myself, and expose my potential for being ridiculed as a fairy and why? To show you people that yes, Matt E. Warren is normal and perfectly capable of looking like an idiot and giving off the perception that I like Sex and the City or Grey’s Anatomy.

Do you ever have a time while in your car, or in your shower, or at a strip club, where a song comes over the speakers and you just love it and have to sing along? Don’t lie, it happens to everybody. To some it might be Tiny Tim’s Tip Toe Through The Tulips, and to others it might be Gwar’s Pre-Skool Prostitute, regardless of what it is, we sit there and we belt out the lyrics as if we are on stage at Madison Square Garden, yelling into the rear view mirror while drivers in other cars look at you like you have an arm growing out of your ass.

I do it all the time. I am a perfect candidate for that show “Motormouth”, where hidden cameras are inserted in a person’s car and filmed making a complete furry crotch of themselves.

Without further ado, I give you my top five list of songs that when I hear them on the radio, I sing along…and singing along to these songs might, in most people’s eyes, qualify me as someones Judy (insert “not necessarily a bad thing” disclaimer here).

1. Andy Gibb - I Just Want to Be Your Everything

“Aaaaahhhh…I”…don’t know what it is about this tune, but it brings out that attempt at being a “balls yet to descend” soprano. It might be my secret love of all things Bee Gee’s, and you could probably categorize all Bee Gee’s tunes in this one. I don’t know quite why I like it, maybe it is because I dream of singing it to the perfect woman who afterward decides to ride me like the Elevated Train in Chicago. In reality, if I sang this to a woman, she’d laugh so hard she might piss herself and not care.

2. Jesse McCartney - Beautful Soul

Most pop star ass clowns that pander to the pre-teen, early teenage girl crowd immedaitely draw the ire of me, and it has been that way since as long as I could remember, which starts right around the time of New Kids On The Block. But, for some reason, Jesse McCartney got me with this one, and I had to hear it ad nauseum due to my two daughters. Again, if I were to sing it to someone via “kara-jok-ee” machine, it would elicit such responses as, “You’re a fag!” and “Nice panties, nancy boy!” which I would ignore (not hear) and immedately jump into a rousing flaming rendition of…

3. R.E.M. - Shiny Happy People

You know what? Insert your own gay joke here. I got nothing to defend this damn thing. It’s the gay communities national anthem.

4. George Michael - One More Try

Which way do I go with this one? Do I go with the “public toilet in Los Angeles butt sex” blast or the “Man, I wish I had pink short-shorts and a ‘Choose Life’ baggy t-shirt” crack? Or maybe the “I’m so coked up I just hit a traffic billboard” slap.

Nope, I’m gonna take the high road with this one, and say that I used to think of my Junior High girlfriend, but, now all I can think of is how he used to get it on with Brooke Shields and now that she is in those Volkswagen commercials looking f-i-n-e, fine, I have to have a shot at her, I mean, GM is gay and he hit that! Actually, my thinking Brooke is hot makes me not gay, right?

5. Diana Ross - I’m Coming Out

I hear this now and think of Notorious BIG and Mase and Mo’ Money Mo’ Problems, but the original with that guitar riff make sme want to put on a big nappy wig, start doing drugs and acting like a fucking nutjob. Or sing along like the bitch that I am. Whatever.

There you have it. My Nancy-boy ass just came out of the sing-along closet hairless and beaming with rainbow colored pride. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the ladies, I plan on visiting Whore Island soon, and I’ll even break out the Sex Panther (by Odeon) for special occassions, too. But…can I really defend my position here? Bah!

I’m off to blast Metallica’s And Justice For All… and read Hustler while eating chili and farting…I hear that boosts testosterone…

Did I miss any songs? List them here.

    uh dude, you must go and never mention this blog again. If you do youy might have to turn in your man card.

    Jeez Diana Ross? At least you didnt have Striesand and Kylie Minogue listed as well - that would have rounded out the gay pride trifecta.

    and who the hell is Jesse McCartney?

    • I won’t ever mention this one again, I assure you. I need my man card in order to effectively scratch my balls.

      And you don’t wanna know who Jesse McCartney is. Let’s just say he isn’t related to the real McCartney.

  2. Fiona says:

    I only know two songs on that list. Phew.

    You look a little like Yoda in that photo.

  3. Tits McGee says:

    I know like one song on that list, no wait, two songs.
    But here’s my question, do you perform the required white boy snap while listening to the song? I bet you do! :D

    Don’t forget to scratch your balls.

  4. Meghan says:

    I’m happy to see you didn’t mention anything by Clay Aiken…’Invisible’, anyone?

    I would, however like to see you spin snappy circles around the room in that hat belting out a lively version of ‘It’s Raining Men’.

  5. Jersey says:

    Like you don’t sing along loudly and poorly to “It’s Raining Men!”

  6. AngieSS says:

    I just posted something along these lines yesterday. However, let me make it perfectly clear — my sing-along song made me “COOL”, not “gay”! I’m thinkin’ that it might be your choice of song that leads to “You might be a fairy if…” That or that thing you have on your head in the top photo. LOL
    – Mine was Hotel California and you can never be uncool singing that. :D

    • Cuttin’ on my Elmer Fudd lid, now are ya? Only singing to these songs would lead people to think I am gay. But I sing along to tons of other not so gay tunes too. It was an attempt (a poor one) to pick on myself for a moment.

      And don’t be offended by this, but, Hotel California is one of the worst songs ever, and The Eagles are terrible. IMHO.

  7. conundrum says:

    My gay alter-ego would want some fun upbeat ABBA like momma mia and Rick Astley’s Never gonna give you up to be in contention for the list.

    I enjoy some happy music if I’m singing in the car.

  8. Tam says:

    You just can’t help but to sing along with Andy Gibb. Reminds me of another teen star from the time “Shaun Cassidys…DaDoRonRon”

  9. PJ says:

    I really wish my Nephew’s favorite song wasn’t that “Weee-Hooo, Yeee-Hoo” Gwen Stefani song, but I’ll give him a break because he’s two. Now, you singing it on the other hand…

  10. Branwyn says:

    Ok, going old school are ya? I don’t think that entitles you to the *gay* lable. How about the ever famous “Girls just wanna have fun” and anything by the Culture Club? Yeah, I’m an 80′a brat. I love messin’ with my kids, makes me feel smart (roflmao), we play “Name that tune” with 80’s pop songs. I always win. Even if you’re only mumbling it, you know we all sing with The Bangles “Christmas Song”. It’s heartbreaking to know that our music is going to be on the oldies station soon…

    • Branwyn says:

      I forgot to add: Anything by Wham. Now THAT might make you gay…lol

      • I covered WHAM! with George Michael, I think. That and the pink hot shorts and ‘choose life’ t-shirt.

        And since we are going old school, I might as well bring up Tom Waite and Air Supply. “I’m all out of love…I’m so lost without you…” THAT would make me gay too.

  11. Jeremy says:

    I would never normally post a link to another blog in here. Feel free to remove it if you want, but I know Kevin has a lot of fans from his California days. This article was written about Proposition 8. Read the whole thing before getting pissed off, but if you are in a state that is going to try and pass this kind of shit please read it.

    PS I understand the shame of singing crappy songs all too well.

  12. Stevenfay says:

    Nice references to Seinfeld and Anchorman. I’m with you on the Shiny Happy People one.

  13. Melissa says:

    This was so gay that it broke my brain. Get thee hence to a six-pack of Guinness and a few hours of Zombie, Sisters of Mercy and something screaming with the dulcut tones of the Jaws of LIfe at a five car pile up. Now.

    I can honestly say I’ve never wanted to sing along to anything like that. And I have a most awesome Fudd hat in hunter orange.

    • I immediately took care of that gayness with some camouflaged can High Life, girl on girl porn while listening to Korn.

      But I love the hunter orange hat of yours. Still aint better than mine.

  14. judge smails says:

    terrible, just terrible!!!! this entire blog is just a bunch of bs, stunned by a small boy that wanted to screw a hole in the side of his coaches pool…. might want to sing some boy george, or INXS for that matter… Sinead O’Connor just called and wants his/her dick back!!!! terrible I say

  15. Em Em says:

    Um, When Doves Cry would also elicit a questioning of your manhood I think.

  16. Brandi Shae says:

    Wow I am so young! I hardly know any of these songs. In fact, I couldn’t tell you the beat to one of them without cheating. Thanks for taking yourself a notch down for us Matty.

  17. PsYcHo BiTcH says:

    UM…

    IT DOESN’T MAKE YOU GAY. JUST IN-TUNE TO YOUR EMOTIONAL AND FEMININE SIDE.

    WHAAAAAT? WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?

    WHAT ELSE WAS I SUPPOSED TO SAY?

  18. Jeff says:

    I only know two songs on that list is well.

    I have, however, broken out with “Material Girl” in karaoke before, to mixed results. The girls thought it was hilarious, the guys thought I was a fruit. But I wasn’t trying to fuck the guys, so I could give a shit about their opinion.

  19. Zlato says:

    Welcome to club Mr.Warren! That is, “The Men Who Are So Manly They Are Unafraid To Come Across As Possibly Gay ” Club.

    This very night my skiffle band will be performing ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go’ and ‘You’re So Vain’ among other hits from the previous millenium. Awesome songs are awesome songs regardless of their position on the gay/not gay barometer.

    It does help sometimes to recontextualize the meaning of a song, though. For example when we cover ‘Dancing Queen’ I’m singing from the heart, as a 37-year-old straight man to a 17-year-old girl who’s actually having the time of her life.

    Next time you’re cruising through the Czech Republic you must join us in the singing and in the beer drinking that fuels it.
