My favourite relates to the multiple Abraham Lincolns dancing throughout. What I DID find, though, was a bunch of strange internet conspiracies about the song’s music video.
And, so, I’m giving the band the benefit of the doubt.
I wasn’t able to find any evidence to confirm or contradict my concerns. Was it celebrating or mocking queer culture? Tapping in to some illicit thrill many straight people feel when they pass through the doors of a queer bar? Or just embracing the fact that it’s the most fun place to be on a Saturday night? I was never really sure about the intention behind the song. You can’t create a list like this and NOT include the song that soundtracked many a mid-00s indie disco or school yard chant.īut I’ve got to admit that I almost didn’t add it to the list.
