Top 5 gay anthems you will hear at every Pride

Some cities are now pretty much scraping the glitter off the concrete after their respective Prides. But some bussies are still bumping, either literally on the dancefloor or somewhere in our heads. Brian Salemi gives us a recap of what you’re likely stuck with for the next few weeks.

1. Work Bitch” by the reigning Princess of Pop (and forever gay royalty) Britney Spears. “Work Bitch” is the quintessential workout song to whip our bodies into sickeningly good shape for Pride. Personally, I really relate to the lyrics: Yes Brit, I do want to sip martinis and I do want to look hot in a bikini. Plus, in the music video she is dancing on a platform surrounded by sharks, which sounds exactly like me at the clubs every Pride. Eat your hearts out, bitches.

2. “A Little Respect” by UK band Erasure, released in 1988. Lead singer Andy Bell was one of the first openly gay musicians of the time and helped brand this song forever into gay culture. I’ll admit I only recently was exposed to the song through HBO’s “Looking” when Patrick and my bae Richie were dancing to it in a San Francisco club. Since that moment, I have been absolutely obsessed with the catchy hit and freak out like Patrick every time the song comes on.

3. “Believe” by the untouchable gay icon Cher. The Goddess of Pop has been crushing it musically for nearly five decades, and you can’t tell me or any other queen otherwise. The dance beat, power vocals, and even the questionable (but still fun) autotune make this the perfect song to belt out at the club and pay homage to the queen.

4. “Partition” by Queen B, Beyoncé. “Partition” is an incredibly sexy song that’ll have you feeling your oats the moment the chorus drops. It’s the kind of song to grab that man you’ve been eyeing and show him what you’re made of. Lots of grinding will ensue when the club plays this song, so make sure you’ve got your twerk game up, fellas.  

5. “212” by Azealia Banks. “212” is the song that put this Brooklyn queen of controversy on the map. The song bolsters a sick beat coupled with fearless lyrics that make it a blast to rap with your friends. Plus, who doesn’t want to vogue circles around their haters singing “What you gon’ do when I appear? W-when I premiere? Bitch, the end of your lives are near. This shit been mine-mine” *death drop*.

WHAT IS DANDY DICKS AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

And who the hell am I? If you’ve been following the blog at all, you may have wondered out of which horny hole this perverted punk has stepped. I won’t reveal too much – a bit of mystery is sexy, right? But a few things may be in order.

First, I was born in that part of the world that most people think is actually Canada, but it’s not. I was born in Alaska. Who would have thought that place could produce more than oil and Sarah Palin – two decidedly unsexy things.

Second, I’m no stranger to sex on screen. I appeared in two arty porn films with DVD releases: one in San Francisco and one here in Berlin. There may be other footage of me out there, but if so, I don’t know where. And yup, I moved to Berlin from gay ol’ San Francisco, where I learned to be a proper fag and how to be a writer all at the same time.

There’s more from San Francisco coming your way via Dandy Dicks, so stay tuned.

But I left San Francisco. And took my heart with me. Five years now in Berlin and I can’t think of a better place to be. I’ve been making it here as a writer ever since and I’m happy to report there’s no going back.

I think I’ve given you enough of the basics. More you’ll just have to find out either through this blog or a little Google. But I hope with that you stick around Dandy Dicks – for this blog and of course, the boys!
