I *nearly* remember the 70's & 80's had some spectacular Disco & Hi-NRG tunes like the following:

Sylvester - Do you wanna funk?
Divine - ?

How about Ru-Paul? I have forgotten the songs!

divine-you think youre a man

Sineta (sp) Macho man

pet shop boys, always on my mind, west end girls, its a sin...

soft cell--Tainted love

there was a whole day dedicated to gay tunes on vh1 when it was may day a few moths back, i think it was called big gay day tunes, you could try seraching on vh1 for the top 100 songs if that helps....

Brian, go to www.almightyrecords.com they have loads of the right stuff as played in gay clubs. A lot of these were played on the Queer as Folk series. I use some of their mixes at gigs. I have done a couple of gigs with a high proportion of gay clients and they really are up for it. Hope this helps - mick

Brian,

why not pop down to a few Gay Clubs yourself, listen to what's played

I suppose that "Britney Spears: I'm not a girl, Not yet a woman" could receive mixed reactions.

How about Wham! "I'm your man".

I do a monthly gay night in a nightclub. Current floorfillers are:

Lets hear it for the boy
Britney Spears - Toxic
Whitney - I wanna dance with somebody
Madonna - Hung Up
Sugababes - Push the button
Pussycat Dolls - Dont cha
Kylie - On a night like this / Cant get you out of my head
You spin me right round (like a record)
Sweet Dreams
Christina - Dirrty

and they all love Saturday night by Whiggy

A lot of gay clubs play Euro Dance and Trance - the kind of stuff with female vocals. I think this is the stereotypical "gay music" as its catchy, upbeat etc - which is fine, and I believe to be very popular, yet I always play chart and cheese and thats what they always ask for. We tried sticking a dance DJ on one month and we ended up closing early

I was working last night and there were a LOT of gay guys who asked for-

anything Kylie
anything Dannii Minogue
anything by Sonia (remember her?
You spin me right round(like a record)- Dead or Alive
Hi Energy- Evelyn Thomas
I think we're alone now- Tiffany
Hung Up-Maddona

Give them a try

in my experience from going out with a few gay mates they love house music usually funky house. the gay villige in manchester kicks this type of music out 247 mainly for the younger gay community

"Best part of breakin up" By ??Ronnie Griffith??

Ian has the best idea. I go (with my wife) as a foursome to Birmingham's Nightingale club occasionally, always a great laugh, but usually accompanied by a hangover next day! Go take a look, you will be quite safe!!

A couple of suggestions:)


It's Raining Men

Four Queers and a Piano, full of brilliant cover versions


Village People YMCA

Anything by Stock Aitken and Waterman, there's a great comp of theirs out now!

Anything on Record Shack records...incidently a great place to go for tunes which are big on the gay scene is

http://www.traxrecords.co.uk/

Also many of the tunes Fergie plays on Radio 1 of a Hard House variety....

I also had a gay couple at a gig this week ( erm i dont mean i had them just they were guests)

And they asked for

You spin me right round(like a record)- Dead or Alive
