Imagine walking into a gay bar and it’s just Keir Starmer dancing alone to Sweet Caroline
How do you even dance to Sweet Caroline lmao? Its a belting song not a dancing song.
When I was in middle school, our gym class had a “ballroom dance” unit. The teacher was obsessed with Neil Diamond, and this was one of the songs. Another was “Beautiful Noise.”
I am still traumatized.
BAH BAH BAHHH
My mom went to a Sting concert a number of years ago, and I remember she told me about how she kinda laughed when the basically all-elderly audience all started dancing when the man went “♫ Who-oh, I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien, I’m an Englishman in New York… ♫”
How do you get boomers to support Palestine?
Get them to sing “Free Palestine” to “Sweet Caroline”.
that actually slaps
Free Paaaalestinee
BAH BAH BAHHHHH
FROM THE RIVER, TO THE SEAAAAAA (THE SEA! THE SEA! THE SEA!)Palestinian support suddenly massively increases among Boston Red Sox fans.
Hard to say what’s more embarrassing between this and when he went on a BBC radio show where you choose what songs you’d take to a desert island and pretended he’d pick Stormzy.
RE: the original question I’d get a mojito and do the whole dance from the end scene of Beau Travail
pretended he’d pick Stormzy.
You cannot fathom the SHOCKWAVES of cringe that just went through me. This CANNOT be real.
I keep reading “Queer Harmer” as “Queer Hammer” and that makes me think of Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer”
Imagining black hammer but for queer people now
straight paypig slaves living in the basement of a trap house in Provincetown
this man has never been around a non-cishet person that didn’t immediately grimace the second he turned away, i guarantee it. that answer was so straight i could build a level house with it.
“Sweet Caroline” is legit the most straight people song I can think of. Like, there are other songs (like Eminem’s entire oeuvre) that may be more appreciated by specific sub-demographics, but in terms of wide-ranging straight (white) appeal, it’s got to be hard to beat Sweet Caroline.
Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever heard the original version of “Sweet Caroline” in full, I swear I have only ever heard other people referencing it
Edit: honestly pretty good, I liked it well enough
I think every baseball stadium is contractually obligated to play it once per game.
there are like three songs that every single person in a straight, white club of any variety will know the words to: “All the Small Things,” “Mr Brightside,” and “Sweet Caroline.” ok there are more than that, but watching a lot of hammered undergrads screaming along to all three in a row at the end of a night was formative.
You are seriously downplaying how much Mr.Brightside could make a room of white non-cishet millenials come unglued
I genuinely am, and you can only try to stop me (i’m white non-cishet people with a softspot for mr brightside, plz don’t come at me)
Whelp I had never listened to Mr Brightside until reading your comment so I can’t be that straight and white.
Mr. Brightside kills at silent disco
Negroni sbagliato and the winner takes it all
lol, that not a gay bar Keith, that’s a fucking baseball game
how hard is it to say something like a cosmo and its raining men? god politicians are stupid
Surprised he didn’t say Irish car bomb and “HOT TO GO!”
…but I guess that’s more how you get thrown out of a lesbian bar in Belfast
is it normal to go to gay bars frequently when you’re straight? outside the reasonable scenario of going to one with a gay friend it seems kinda strange
Yes
