Better an honest and heartfelt confessional like this than all the disingenuous corporate homosploitation that pop acts will engage in to generate some cynical interest (I'm talking to you T.A.T.U.)
Besides it's about two guys experimenting love in highschool, and it's not that weird to get confused when you're a teenager (it wouldn't make you gay or bi, actually...) and it's written in a beautiful way. I would call many things this song... but never disgusting. What about awesome? ¬_¬
Love this song. I knew that Kele's not straight (he's bi, right?), and when I heard the song for the first time the imagery in my head was two boys. I wasn't actively thinking about it, but I guess my instincts were right.
It's not surprising. Do you know Franz Ferdinand's song "Michael?" It's one of my favorites by them. Also, in the best version of "Purple Haze" I've heard, Jimi Hendrix sings "excuse me, while I kiss that guy" instead of "kiss the sky."
Because Kele is a guy who happened to write a love song about another guy doesn't make him any less of a person. And it sure as hell doesn't make him any less of a musician. His sexuality is nobody's business but his. So it may be your opinion (and other people's) that it's "disgusting," but that should be kept to yourself. We listen to him for the music and the message, not to comment on who the song was written for.
yeah girls do that too ;-) yeah I love when musicians get good music out of turmoil. I can't wait to see them next week! They are playing wreck the halls here in LA. -gonna be downtown at club nokia, and I think there's still tix available!
I was sitting on my bed with a girl friend yesterday playing Resident Evil and she said she wanted to play with me. She pulled it out and started blowing me. So, girls DO do that. ;P
I'M A HUGE FAN OF BLOC PARTY, AND I AM MOBILIZING A RESEARCH IN PURSUIT OF THE PAST OF BLOC PARTY.
The first step is find the complete versions of 4 musics that the majority of TRUE FANS OF BLOC PARTY knows. They are: American Kids, Lead By Example, Teen Crisis and Life Of The Party.
And maybe we'll find the others that is in "lloydj4" Youtube Account (Rivulet and others 4, including our reminiscent-clue American Kids)

ich kenne bloc party auch schon seit ihrem ersten Album. Aber keine Angst Freunde! Das neue Album wird den "Keinohrhasen-Leuten" nicht "so gut gefallen wie still remember" und selbst wenn wir sie auf einem der Konzerte 2009 sehen, bei der nächsten Tour sind wir wieder unter uns...
ich kannte das Lied zum Beispiel VOR Keinohrhasen ^-^ und da hat es mir besser gefallen als in dieser (doch recht gelungenen und sehr süßen ^^) Schnulze! =)

I think the song is concering sexual fluidity, that men are either usually considered straight or gay, whilst women can be straight, gay, or bi. But, as I didn't write the song, that's guesswork on moi part.
