My Eleven Favorite Gay Anthems
73
When I finally got an iPod and was loading all my CDs etc. onto my PC I realised that a lot of my music, particularly my favorite songs, were actually either "gay anthems" (definition) or popular in the gay community.
I don't know what that might say about my sexuality - perhaps that can be a subject for a future hub!
This is a collection of my favorite gay anthems. Mainly disco, all have a hard thumping beat and most just make you want to put your hands in the air and start dancing!
I'll add more as I choose them.
You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) - Sylvester
Sylvester - the one and only. I first saw this on Top of the Pops in the UK, and I remember wondering why he had make-up on. Ah, the innocence of youth.

I Feel Love - Donna Summer
The first time I heard this was on the radio on a Sunday afternoon on a sunny day. 1975 or 76 I think. I just remember the synthesizer and wondered what type of music is was, because it sounded great!
There are not many versions of this song (sung by Donna Summer) on YouTube. Here's a video set to a remix of the original. It's quite good!

I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor
I guess this could be viewed as the definitive gay anthem. Having said that a LOT of people of different orientations love this song. Here's some trivia on it:
- It was initially a B-side. The A-side was called "Substitute".
- It won the grammy for "Best Disco Recording of the Year" in 1980. The only time the award has been presented!
- The video was filmed in a nightclub called "Xenon". The skater's name is Sheila Reid-Pender, from the skating group "The Village Wizards".
- It's been covered by lots of people including CXake, Dame Shirley Bassey, R.E.M., and Diana Ross; but not Aretha Franklin.

Take a Chance on Me - Erasure
This is lucky - able to get an ABBA song in the list without it actually being from ABBA, so I can take my time in choosing the actual ABBA one.
This is a great cover and a great video too. Dancing with your cross dressing self is just too much!
And they look like the ABBA girls so much!

Agree? Disagree? Got a suggestion? Let me know! I'll see if I can add it!
It's raining men, Hallelujah! Haha. That song cracks me up.
Cher is awesome. She is an amazing artist.
Good choices.
Tayler!
Too funny! lol
You should look at Sheena's cover of "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You".
nice list..but no "YMCA" by the village people? Or ANY Janet Jackson? Come on!
I am looing for a house tune from the late 90's or turn of the century. It starts with a monologue and the last thing the voice over says is "I am FIERCE!" and then the song starts. Any ideas?
Good choices! Excellent songs, but I think you are missing songs of Mariah Carey!
Excellent idea Jose. I'll think about that.
