There appears to be a definite ear for what constitutes a gay/camp sounding track by many people. Is it the band members that bring the camp or the music being played? Would we question the campness if the members were not honest?

Any tracks to discuss? Embarassed listening to any tracks? (guilty pleasure)

very happy and flamboyant

most camp song ever - good old fashioned lover boy by queen

camp isn't necessarily gay though

^ exactly

i'd say it's more to do with being very OTT yet emotionally genuine.

14th street by Rufus Wainwright pretty much sums it all up.

It's okay

to be gay!

Mika rocks my pink socks!

The Feeling.

*shrugs*

William it was really nothing

............

Hairdresser On

Fire puts a cherry on my camp bun.

SUEDE

.........

i stand corrected

this is the campest song ever

nothing says camp like a ginger, glaswegian midget.

I wish you'd just stuck with 'camp' and didn't use the word 'gay'

Because there's no such thing as a gay sound. A sexual preference doesn't make a sound. A song cannot sound gay, no matter how teenage you are or how many episodes of South Park you've watched.

South Park

did such an incredible job of making stupid people even more stupid. That's where it's real genius lies :)

Hahaha

That's actually so true!!

DUFFMAN!!!

........

PC POLICE!!!

fs can nobody say anything anymore. i wasnt being derogatory, im actually questioning WHY people question this type of sound, not making a fool out of it..... its just interesting how we pick it out from the "norm"

Not quite

It's just your choice of wording/topic and ,yes, the inevitable "lists of 'gay' music" that follows. If that's your contribution, knock yourself out dude!

emmmmmmmm

what do you suggest foggy atlas? can no one make a thread unless its completely relevant. sakes........

Haha didn't take you long

to wind up the do gooders

Ssshh calm... *pixie dust*

As i said, knock yourself out. I don't mind or anything. I especially don't mind now that you have a problem with it.

Woo, a thread of "gay" songs. SCORE!

thank you

i feel relaxed now mr foggy. that dust was great.... read the question you tart!! read between the lines. you must have something to say without just moaning

I don't even know what you're talking about

what do you even want to know? Do gay people make a certain noise?? Do gay people make a gay noise themselves or do gay people make gay sounding music?? Does a song sound gay because it sounds like a women should be singing it but there's a man singing it instead? Can women be gay? Does my brain fill up with chips when i put it in the deep fat fryer?

"fs"
"sakes"
"you tart!"

It's been fun, dear friend. Keep taking that pixie dust!

??????

For someone that was pissed off about me using the word gay, you dont half use it a lot yourself. Thanks for your advice anyway.

Hahah

Is that what i meant? Is that really what you think i meant? I bet you didn't. I mean, you're clearly in need of some cartoons or a big cuddle, but I think you've just said that because you didn't know what else to say. Lol. I LOVE YOU GAYMAN!

*spits*

*goes and writes some straight riffs*

lol

ive only been on this 2 minutes and already ive got on someones tits..... sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryy....... foggy i take my hat off to you.

Don't apologise

Nice thread you've got here mate. What's it about?

?

its about love my friend.....

something like this

http://www.myspace.com/troubleovertokyo
anything with electro beats or a little bit of melodrama, I usually like this the best as well

I would say any song offering a male youth

advice of where to stay overnight and have an ejoyable time WHICH comes with its own dance routine would constitute a camp song.

brett!
