  1. OK, that’s pretty gay, but gayness is kind of what they’re aiming for. I’d like to nominate this
    for “gayest video by a guy totally unaware of how gay he looks”. As I recall it, this pretty much ended his career.

  2. While, yes, they were sort of “going for” this. I really doubt they had any idea that their meteoric career would be decimated in the US by this single video.

  3. Allen, their career was negatively affected?

    I thought this was a really great video.

    I need to read that retrospective of Queen you put together.

  4. When anandamide said that his choice for gayest video pretty much ended the singer’s career, I knew it was Billy Squier’s “Rock Me Tonite” before I even clicked on the link. Cool song… but damn Billy, couldn’t you have at least hired Toni Basil to do the choreography for your video?

  5. malcolm, thanks for stopping by!

    That’s a good choice for a video, but it unfortunately was already nominated here.

    I’mm gonna have to do a gay video recap soon to stop all this confusion.

  6. Remember when David Spade said as a kid he never caught on that “Queen” was a gay group. Though. They. Had. It. Right. In. teh. Name?

    I don’t care if they were going for it or not, Queen’s vid gets my vote over Billy Squier
