i always loved living color. this song made me feel like yea being bi would be the nicest way if i could choose. living color was ahead of their time but its kind of funny that all bi scenes are with women maybe it would have been to brave if they would have had put a big black man and a nice white guy together...
Honestly don't give a shite about the topic of the song but I do know that Vernon and Doug absolutely kill it on this track. At the time, didn't even think about the ramifications of this song/video but I'm sure it didn't do them any favors with the cooperate rock douches who control MTV, radio, etc. You forget, there were few alternatives back in those days....no internet, ipods, smart phones, etc. Artists almost depended on MTV for exposure whether good or bad. OK sermon over now
I had heard that some of the band members were bisexual. I didnt believe this is true and probably will still not know what to think, but this song kinna says "hey maybe its true" so imma ask just out of curiosity and with the hope that i wont get any smartass coments or punkass trolls bugging me. Are some of the members of living colour bisexual?
They really missed an oportunity of depicting bisexuality from a more humanistic and less stereotyped point of view. But the song is great and the clip is cool, too.
@SnowAngelCakes Also 5 people are too worried and insecure about if they are straight or gay. Hahaha. all that labels,I wish I was asexual like Morrissey claim to be.
I am straight and I would love to be bi, I wanna be bi so bad! but I just can't change myself from the way I was born.. Doesn't that prove that homosexuals are born that way? :3
you know Cory Glover is Bi, and ..oh what's the point, it's a witty satire of a song-the public is not witty, not intelligent, and very ignorant&that was the 1990's when people were alot better;now, most should be shot-it's gotten that bad
I kinda like this song but...being a bisexual myself...I think that the way this band portrays bisexuality is a bit offensive.
It supports the views of both some striaght people and gay people alike that bisexuals are just out for "a fun time" and that it isn't to be taken seriously.
@flufftastical well, look at I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry and just a couple other songs about gays, lesbians, and bisexuals. they're songs that, well, just makes sense. I'm bisexual too, and this is my first time hearing this song. So far, i REALLLY like it. Plus, even JUST about being bi, it's still a song that JUST MAKES SENSE. i'm ONLY saying, really.
@flufftastical I understand your point, but i think the message is not "bis sleep around for fun" but indeed "everybody love's you when you're bi". And everybody can. Not everybody but a lot of people. What you do with that love is up to you or any person who's bi, for that matter. Or anyone else.
Wow... why is it that I knew nothing of this song's existence until now? How many hard rock bands at the time were brave enough to tackle the subject of sexuality so blatantly? And an all black band, no less? My respect for these guys goes up even further. It seems that a lot of their songs touch on issues that very few artists of their genre wouldn't even consider touching.
Oh, and why am I not surprised that there's an argument going on below me? I knew this song would be a troll magnet.
@08Revelator Blanky? That's the best you could come up with?
You're not reporting shit. This is a cute song and it's just in Living Colour's style. When you're speaking your dumbass opinion, just say it's your dumbass opinion and don't call it "reporting". That's intellectual cowardice and, perhaps I should add, childish.
Didn't think I was going for "the best i can do". Please stop fighting a comment war. That alone, aside from your bisexuality, is the most childish part about you so far, and I dont' even know you. Lets just keep it at that, ok. And please keep all future childish comments like..."that's right, you don't know me...".....and all the profanity that you will think will make your point, to yourself. Thanks
@08Revelator Actually, my point is made pretty well by your ignorance and obfuscation. You can pretend to be the mature one all you want while you insult a large group of diverse people, but you're mainly lying to yourself.
@08Revelator Oh, you're just so darned psychic! Of course, you may have gotten a clue by the fact that I've cursed in every fucking reply. You were rude in the first place, so don't bitch if I do not uphold what you see as proper decorum. For the third time, fuck off.
Go ahead and make comments about my profanity again. Maybe if you do it enough it'll disguise the fact that you made a small minded comment in the first place. Well no, it won't, but you might convince yourself.
This song was way ahead of it's time. When I first heard this song.. I thought there would no way the music industry would promote this song . Today this song would be no 1 in the Billboard Charts.
lol whenever I see this kid I will forever hear the chorus "Everybody loves you when are bi!" then I will start uncontrollably laughing and everyone will stare and it will be great.
Never knew this song was out. The fact that they were Black males doing this song was even wilder to comprehend during this time frame. Hell, how many songs by males out today will even touch that topic unless it is strictly girl on girl. Wow!
The only idiot music of this band.

Become a professional singer, it’s difficult but not impossible.
It’s my dream? To make it big and have people like and listen to my music.
