The Lemonheads - Big Gay Heart on Top Of The Pops

[3296856]

Evan Dando could write a song called Big Gay Heart without anybody questioning his sexuality.

That's how he rolled in the 90's

[utoobuser101]

lol. is here wearing a picture of himself on his t-shirt?

[batgranny]

Wish a better quality version of this performance was available. I taped it onto a cassette off the telly at the time, better than the original imho

[TheSingingLocksmith]

This man is legend

[Goodywagon]

@TheSingingLocksmith This man is amazing, he has some really amazing thoughts and musings up in his big head, he doesn't seem to talk about them much, but he says enough for me to know we think alike. I wish he would take better care of himself though, but then again i wish i would too. he's done it all quite literally.

[tinofapples]

Can't believe Evan performed on Top Of The Pops, what year was this ?

[pelicanmouse]

@tinofapples 94 and it was first time anyone played live on the show - the band had played totp twice before this

[Oceanic815ii]

in the dark, my big gay heart... beautiful.

[subymay]

[ClangBanggClang]

duck my sick

[spcellforever]

@ClangBanggClang THE MOST FUCKNG EPIC ORIGINAL COMENT!!! God bless u :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!

[belabfarinurodg]

great song! could someone plz post the lyrics?!

[dawkinsfaith]

I like this song because it is musically wonderful. I put it on a juke box one afternoon in an Edinburgh pub in Scotland and the bar man and his friend, I'm sure, thought I was gay but I just liked the song and so.....I played it and fuck what anyone thought. Great song.

[Louney100]

gfu me too

[lemonjelly123]

it might be explicitly 'gay' but it's just a love song and it's great!

[clatn75]

strange to see Dando with short hair, great song

[lostghostboy]

if you watched the original video clip you know it's not homophobic. btw the video shows boys dancing with boys and girls dancing with girls. how can this be homophobic? well i love the song anyways.

[joeyrsl]

i'm a straight male who embraces his feminine side, and to me, this song makes perfect sense, because sometimes i feel gay even though i'm attracted to women, which may not make sense to a lot of people but it makes sense to me. but this song is totally not homophobic at all.

[grayson311]

it makes perfect sense....to a bisexual man.

[grayson311]

"...always have been". what a weird thing to say

[bobvillain]

@pelicanmouse it saddens me as human being that you even have to explain this to people :( Like this guy grayson311 finding your phrasing, implying something he knows nothing about, it's always just been a song to me, I've always admired your ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes.

[hnbv]

Uhm... Ican't understand if the meaning of the lyric is homophobic or not

[mikethelwall]

No it's anti-homophobic, and supercool. The song is just awsome, whether you are gay or straight. "Please don't break my big gay heart". The album version is better though, I agree with annodam

[annodam]

The album version is the best and I love the video for this but it's been removed.

[jjpayat]

WHY WAS IT REMOVED?

[pelicanmouse]

@jjpayat is it ? That's odd . It was done by Tamara Davis. that would be weird if it was removed ...Rock Videos are mainly pointless I reckn - but can be fun

[andylimn]

In what way is this acoustic?

[anabsolutfruit]

Sweet. :)

[jrafaeleu]

in old times gay means happy. You can see lyrics like that in Gilbert O'sullivan's songs.

[yamba]

aww it cuts off.

[one6s4]

ya need original! haha

[yamba]

i think he's saying it sarcastically, like he cares about this person and they don't give a shit, they think he's being 'gay', not a homosexual, in the other sense. just a negative way

[adipresley]

i love the melody but not the lyric..and i love Lemonheads!

[BarrettKarz]

Homophobe

[cleverfeller]

@BarrettKarz

When a group are disproportionatley involved in the spread of a lethal disease (AIDS) then it isn't ''phobic'' to fear them. It's actually rational....especially when that group lied through their teeth for years about the pivotal role they played in the spread of the disease.

It was a gay and IV drug users disease which the gays brought back from African sex trourism and then spread amongst junkies who would do anything for money. Insults like ''homophobe'' are just too easy.

@cleverfeller

"why cant you look after yourself and not down on me"?

[JZChange]

@cleverfeller it is very clear to everyone but yourself that you are a HUGE classic closet case. Get a boy friend and you'll feel a lot better about yourself and the world.

[Lemonhead86]

don't pretend.... u love it.

[theflyingmat]

Cheers,

I've been looking for this for ages. I remember seeing it on TOTPS and it blew me away. Then Yazoo came on and that was the bubble burst.

CLASSIC..............

[Jaska71]

great, thanks for this. duck my sick!!!
