Why make such a big deal of being heterosexual and liking Bronski Beat. Never see gay guys saying: I'm gay and I like The Beatles or whatever. I mean it is not like you are allowing them to plough you, it's just music, you are not making some dramatic sacrifice, the music you listen to does not influence your sexuality and your sexuality is not interesting to people who come here t listen to the soong sheesh.
One of my favorites just for the intensity of the performance. Just looked up the lyrics today and it's about gay bashing. I honestly hadn't figured that out. What an ass-kicker.
in response to The Saoirse777 I'm straight but I love this music so much! However for the record it's only fair to point out I am also an inbred spastic!
bestes musikalisches futter für DERWISCHE gleich welcher religion welchen geschlechts und egal mit welcher sexuellen orientierung -hab ich zum FRESSEN gern !
56snowbunny makes so much sense for Christ sakes people he's sooo damn right! love this band & always will.Straight up great music that no one even knows how to create these days.Everybody is stealing each others music now a days & it's the same boring repeating Bullshit!!! So True music has no gender or sex it is universal.They made their own music from the heart & how they felt no one knows how to do that these days
Though I admire str8 people's sense of not caring if the artist is straight or gay, I long for the day where one doesn't have to qualify music as str8 or gay based on the artists sexual orientation.
does anyone know what movie the song WHY came out in where there are some killers looking for someone I think to do a hit, the killer was wearing some yellow protective eyeglasses?? it was pretty cool!
I'm trisexual and it isn't the music that's trisexual, it's what you do while the music is playing. I'm thinking about coming a few more time and becoming tetrasexual or pentasexual. This gives my the right to have sexual relationships with just about anything. The ultimate in laziness. (wink,wink).
Hetero, Homo, Bi, It makes no difference - good music is good music, which this most definitely is. And to all the Ignorant, bigoted, frightened, self-righteous god botherers out there - god is dead - and the thing that took his place already died. Now go out and party. ;D
its so boring reading all the im straight but still love bronski , no one gives a shit! unless they are a an inbred spaz, if u bi, gay, straight whateva so no need to mention it.
@TheSaoirse777 You would think the music would be just enough. But people have to bring sexuality, race, and religion into every damn thing! Just enjoy the music!
Gay or not.....best track in his days...saw them live performing in 1987 at Pinkpop Holland.....they were covered in rotten tomato's and other shit but still kept playing (and who says all the gays are sissy's hahahaha What a mistake to make!!!
You know,I love the original version of this song,but really hate club mixes. Of all the things that happened in '80s music,Those crappy mixes were the worst. The whole effect just wrecked the original song,totally trivializing it to a bunch of disjointed sounds.
Maybe that was part of the plan though,to turn good music into mush to make it easier to consume..Disco was dead by then,why wouldn't they give it up?
Love these guys! I'm nearly 58 Music hasn't got anything to do with being Gay!!!I It is Universal not sex orientation people need to chill!!! and just enjoy the music,but i am pleased that it has helped people come out! GAY PEOPLE STOP BEING INSECURE!!You will be FINE!!
Ah the memories of dancing to this track at the Y-Knot above the St. Charles Tavern in Downtown Toronto and at The Barn.... in an era when I came out of my closet with a bang! When Toronto's GLBT community was liberated! Thanks for sharing and resurfacing some awesome memories!
This song reminds me so much of the early 80's. I first heard this when I was 16-17. Back then we didnt have all these haters. We had the new wavers, which I was, and then we had the wanna be's. The haters these days are the wanna be's. I saw Jimmy in concert at Richs in Houston back in the early 90's after his show he came down and danced in the crowed. It was so cool that I got to dance with him, wild fun times.
I hear what you're saying but have to disagree. There have always been haters. The 80's was my decade. I came of age during the 80's and was super immersed in the music. Yes, we had New wavers and we had "wanna-be's", which we called Posers. But we also had stoners, rednecks, preppies, punks, hessians, goths, nerds, etc. Some groups got along okay, the rest hated on each other.
There you go :-) I can't imagine what pain this planet and everything on it will be in come 2050, when the population is expected to reach around 9 billion plus.
This song makes me feel so good, I was so young, 23 when it was playing in all the discos and clubs and it still makes me smile and want to run to the dance floor and be proud of who I am.
@kennykunt Yes , Such an underground video ! ;)) So , SHARE THIS VIDEO ON FACEBOOK and everywhere you can for your friends ! OK ? GOooooooooooo ! *_* HAVE FUN ! Thanks for BRONSKI BEAT & JIMMY SOMERVILLE you can also listen on MYSPACE !
well you all guys are lucky because i happen to live in greece where homosexuals are thrown out of their houses are humiliated set aside and threatened and nobody gives a damn about it not the greek politicians andi wouldnt mention the greek orthodox church .and it is 2010
I'm surprised of all "homosexuality" comments about this video. I heard it in 1985 and 1986 and we were listening at it just for liking the music and that's it .
I am gay 100% - wouldn't know what a straight thought is.
Anyhow, I am always surprised with people - music is music and whether it is dance, jazz or from a musical - I like music because it moves me in one way or another. Whether it be country, classical, opera or whatever - - just as long as it moves me.
I grew up with Bronski Beat and enjoyed their music - ALWAYS!
I love this band and I don't know why isn't that the name of the song? anyhow I am not gay but I don't care if you are. Live life the way you see fit and fuck everyone else!
I´m straight, too! And I give a sh*t about the sexual orientation of a singer...I love George Michael, Erasure and Jimmy Sommerville and they all gay...who cares?!! There is good and bad music and this is the only crieria that really counts to me! And Jimmy got one of the best falsetto voices ever...that really matters to me!!!
Another absolute beauty from Bronski Beat. Always so moving, Jimmy's voice and those lyrics you can almost taste the pain. I have loved this group since I was five. Number one on my list. You guys totally rock!! Carrie, Darwin, N.T, AUST.
Dude!...The Album???...If you can get a copy of the 12" EP then your talking real old school dance! It still rocks. Played if for the nephew "he freaked"....
i bought many a bronski beat record in my time and still enjoy them and im also straight its a crock of **** that they are only for gays and you must be gay to like them they made some cracking tunes their sexuality is of no importance or mine for that matter !
@markymarkinthehouse Dude, Don't get exclusionary. If you want acceptance, ya gotta practice what you preach. Your argument makes you no better than what you're so indignant about. BTW, I'm HOMO, too...
Another straight guy who thinks it's BS that you have to be 'gay' to like Bronski Beat!!!! That's BS!!!!! and there's millions just like me who feel the same but who are ashamed to come forward and comment!!!!
holy shit the year was 1983 and me and my buddy Stacey would head into the village after copping our blow in the Bronx and he took me into "Monster" which was the number 1 gay club and I first heard BroNski BeAt...them boys produced some killer beats
Still a fucking tune even now. That's why you get house artists picking away at the samples now i.e. (SHM) ..Jimmy S Yeah he was/is a g@y hero but quality singer !
@TheSaoirse777 gay people cant feel love because love doesn’t exist. gay people know that love isn’t real and that’s why they fuck around and rarely have commitments. Heterosexuals don’t feel love either but they stay together because its good for children. a lot of ppl tell themselves they are in "love" blah blah blah 2 feel better about their sex fetishes’ or sticking with one person for a long time but that is just self hypnosis. it sounds like you have mind bombed yourself too
This still sounds as fresh as the day it was first released,(yes i'm that old) I remember dancing my ass off to this in Heaven with the help of some poppers.
From a heterosexual you didn't need the courage? At least your on 1 side of the fence unlike bisexuals hanging in the middle all gay's unite unlike bi's we know what you are and i praise you for that and your not confused like them also i feel love jimmy is way cool
jimmy sounds like a siren alarm during anemergency...oh my god how brilliant was this song? i cant imagine a better anthem that says it all...like "i will survive" for the gay rights movement. It has lost none its sexy, radical power and a testament to the creative talent that was BRONSKI BEAT. jimmy's voice can now be rightfully viewed as iconic, and one sadly missed...
"Contempt in their eyes, as I turn to kiss his lips"!!!!!
If no-one CARES about gay sexuality - then whats with the harsh stares and leers and ultimately violence?...think about it - and have yaself a nice day MATE!!!
ITS OBVIOUS THAT IF PEOPLE FIND IT IMPORTANT TO SAY THINGS LIKE...WHY DO GAY PEOPLE FLAUNT THEIR SEXUALITY ETC...THERES ISSUES THERE TO BEGIN WITH!!!! - OTHERWISE YA WOULDNT GIVE A HOOT!!!...THINK ABOUT IT!!! AND have a really nice safe little day little man!!!!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
why you gays feel the need to teel that you are gay? you are persons like others, why do you think that others are interested in your sexual preferences? i never go around to tell i am straight. In this way you are the first cause for your discrimination. Have a nice day mate
Because if we don't put it out there that we are here, and that we are gay, you will forget... or otherwise ignore... that we are here, and fail to consider our viewpoint and perspective!! That's why! You have a nice day too, "mate!"
Hey guys, my comment was not made as a "flame" or similar. Maybe i didn't explain my thoughts as well as i wanted but english is not my mother language so sorry for any hidden (read...not wanted) offense you can read in my comment.
.. again...please sorry but it is very difficult to talk about this topic in another language. I hope you can understand what i mean without putting too much attention on the words i used.
I like bronski beat as music who cares what they do with their hershey highway.

Heterosexuals don’t feel love either but they stay together because its good for children. a lot of ppl tell themselves they are in "love" blah blah blah 2 feel better about their sex fetishes’ or sticking with one person for a long time but that is just self hypnosis. it sounds like you have mind bombed yourself too

@razorgraze You sound like a very bitter queen who had bad experiences of gay relationships. Don't let the self loathing destroy you.

jimmy sounds like a siren alarm during anemergency...oh my god how brilliant was this song? i cant imagine a better anthem that says it all...like "i will survive" for the gay rights movement. It has lost none its sexy, radical power and a testament to the creative talent that was BRONSKI BEAT. jimmy's voice can now be rightfully viewed as iconic, and one sadly missed...

This comment has received too many negative votes show
why you gays feel the need to teel that you are gay? you are persons like others, why do you think that others are interested in your sexual preferences? i never go around to tell i am straight. In this way you are the first cause for your discrimination. Have a nice day mate

You are quite ignorant. The 'gay voice' attempts to fight opression.
rockthecroc 2 years ago 2
Because if we don't put it out there that we are here, and that we are gay, you will forget... or otherwise ignore... that we are here, and fail to consider our viewpoint and perspective!! That's why! You have a nice day too, "mate!"
