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. Welcome to club Mr.Warren!

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. I only know two songs on that list is well.

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. Wow I am so young!

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. This was so gay that it broke my brain.
