You were saying?
Also, a companion Moroderish work - Sylvester's "Do You Wanna Funk" - famously, the soundtrack to the party scene in Trading Places. It was produced by Cowley.
Both Cowley and Sylvester died of AIDS.
And Denholm Elliott, now I think about it.
EDIT: Fixed. Well, give it a go, anyway.

That's such a great song! Most of the TRB songs are a bit too bland musically for me but there are a few winners in there.

Goddamnit! Thanks so much for putting these up, my shapely one, but I'm afraid these files are corrupted! They won't work on my home or work computers. Darn.
Could you put them up again... ?

Years ago, I read an interview with Rob Halford that asked him whether any of his songs had gay subject matter. He responded that "Jawbreaker" did. You can figure that one out.

Almost anything by the Frogs. I like "Adam and Steve".
Also, "High Fidelity" and "Shine Your Light, Love, Hope" by Bob Mould, though they don't address homosexuality, are both totally gay.

Sexuality by Billy Bragg.
Check out the amazingly obvious rhyming couplets - sweden with read them, passes with classes, gay with away, pure genius... I also find it amusing that even given the anti-homophobic sentiments of the song, he still feels he has to confirm his heterosexuality in the very first two lines.

Ive had relations with girls from many nations
Ive made passes at women of all classes
And just because youre gay I wont turn you away
If you stick around Im sure that we can find some common ground
Chorus:
Sexuality - strong and warm and wild and free
Sexuality - your laws do not apply to me
A nuclear submarine sinks off the coast of sweden
Headlines give me headaches when I read them
I had an uncle who once played for red star belgrade
He said some things are really left best unspoken
But I prefer it all to be out in the open
Sexuality - strong and warm and wild and free
Sexuality - your laws do not apply to me
Sexuality - dont threaten me with misery
Sexuality - I demand equality
Im sure that everybody knows how much my body hates me
It lets me down most every time and makes me rash and hasty
I feel a total jerk before your naked body of work
Im getting weighed down with all this information
Safe sex doesnt mean no sex it just means use your imagination
Stop playing with yourselves in hard currency hotels
I look like robert de niro, I drive a mitsubishi zero
Sexuality - strong and warm and wild and free
Sexuality - your laws do not apply to me
Sexuality - come eat and drink and sleep with me
Sexuality - we can be what we want to be

Where where where is "Homosapien" in this thread?
I'm the shy boy
You're the coy boy
And you know we're
Homosapien too
I'm the cruiser
You're the loser
Me and you sir
Homosapien too
Homo superior
In my interior
But from the skin out
I'm Homosapien too
And you're Homosapien too
And I'm Homosapien like you
If you're going to pick a Priest song just 'cause Rob was queer, I think you have to go with "Hell Bent For Leather".
