YIKES! MTV turned 30 last week. Jesus freakin H. Christ am I old.
When I was young MTV was THE place to go for music, the iTunes of its day and though I was too young to venture into the bars I could find all the synthesizers, cowbells and whistles a girl could handle right there on cable. Endlessly fascinated by the many gender bending artists, I was constantly on the lookout for any hint of girl/girl, boy/boy love, asking myself "are they or aren't they gay?" Of course my answer was always yes, even though it was mostly wishful thinking. A girl can dream can't she?
Here in no particular order are my top 10 "gay" music videos.
10) Tina Marie - Lovergirl
 |
| 80's Fashion was the Bomb |
 |
| Boobs |
8) Taylor Dayne - Tell it to My Heart
7) Sylvester - Do You Wanna Funk
Did I mention how much I love synthesizers, cowbells and whistles? Almost as much as watching half naked men roller skate around a dance floor. Someday I'll tell you about the time I almost got run down at the now defunct Traveler's Club. LOVE this song. It was a big part of my first "gay" picnic, what little of it I can remember. (due to alcohol not age)
6) Yaz - Don't Go Big girls. Always liked em. I promise though no more boobs.

| OK so I lied. |

| Well at least it's not boobs this time |
I had it bad for Cynthia Rhodes. You go with your bad self in your leotard, leggings and bandana. I actually have a picture of Sunshine and Happiness from her college days in just such an outfit. Sorry, can not post on pain of death.
4) The Weather Girls - It's Raining Men Well...OK!
3) Anything by George Michael or Wham.
2) Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus BEST. BASS LINE. EVER. Danced to it every time it was played much to the dismay of whomever I was with and they played this song A LOT. (Sorry BP)
1) Madonna - Holiday Least played. Most gay.
Oh and almost forgot.....Boobs!
