This video is just because, and I also do have a crush on gay boy Jake Shears anyway. I like this song written basically about him coming out to his mom. Plus I've been watching endlessly this whole economic fiasco unfold all day long and am frankly tired of it already. I think I'm a masochist maybe, but one can only take so much. News is turned off now, shifting gears. Music makes me happy.
Scissor Sisters - Take Your Mama
Like most other gay folks, I was gratified the other night to hear President Obama announce at the State of the Union address his intention to put repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell on the agenda for 2010. Of course we were all hyped when we heard it the first time, too. Back when he was pandering the rainbow coalition for votes during his campaign, pledging to be a "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights. To start working toward getting rid of DADT during his first year as president was part of that promise. Not that he has totally snubbed us, I guess, but tagging him a "fierce advocate" is probably a stretch . It's really little wonder that much of the queer community reacted approvingly, but also with a fair amount of skepticism, the other night after hearing him vow again to do what he vowed once before with nothing gotten done so far. This DADT thing, I wouldn't think, should be such a big ordeal to get over and done with in short order. Even military p...
We really are on the same musical wavelength. After hearing "Don't Feel Like Dancing"(or whatever the title of the song is) in the shower last week, I ordered a SS cd from the library. Lately, I've been borrowing cds and downloading them to my computer. (I don't know how to do it your free way) I've just discovered the SF library has EVERYthing. Even if they didn't, I knew they would have the SS.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this song too. I sang this last week on Singstar (PS2 Karaoke); it's fun to sing falsetto.
I clicked on the lead singer's name and didn't realize how young he is. I thought he was my age; but he's cute and has nice arms.
I think I meant upload, not download.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize what the song was really about; I just thought he wanted to show the mama a good time.
Another "new to me" song and group. I am so "not cool" anymore. *ha* I liked it!
ReplyDeleteerika - anything you might want to download just holler, i can probably fetch it for ya, save yourself a trip to the library. just send me an email of what you want, the link is on the right.
ReplyDeletelumina - you are, too, cool! whether you knew the song or not. hey, did you also know that scissor sisters is a lesbian sexual position, that's where they took the name from? i think you can figure out that. :-)
Hey, I want to download...whatever that means. Sounds dirty. Lumina, you are way computer cooler than me. Huh? A lesbian...position...gees, how have I survived without hearing this? Gay guys know everything. Let me...now I'm blushing. You had me at download.
ReplyDeleteLady Di, my my my. I'm sure you've been there done that, you and your no doubt lovely scissor sister! But hey, yeah, you need a download for the iPod or computer or whatever, just holla back, like I told Erika. I'll take care of you. Well, you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteI like the song and watched them on SNL. The lead singer should never, ever dance in public.
ReplyDeleteHey, I know a late comment, but don't go dissin' on my Jake never should be dancing in public! Before Scissor Sisters he was a dancer in gay clubs, and he could dance for me in public anytime. Or in private preferably, but I live in fantasy-land sometimes.
