@vinyljunkie70 totally agree, I'm not gay but I love this record, one of my favourites - absolutely not top notch. The whole spirit or rave and acid house e.g. openness, freedom to be who you want to be, and love to fellow man (or woman) all wrapped up in quality track.
I love what Tim & Colin did with this in terms of structure, ie leaving the word "Gay" out of it til the final breakdown... as if to shock anyone homophobic into enjoying a big uplifting record, then be caught out at the end, it was a brilliant idea and an excellent piece of music as well.
omg, I remember this played to death at the Paradise Factory, sooooooo happy to see it on here! :)

The only time I've ever seen football hooligans and dodgy drug dealers singing that they're "free, gay and happy" is to this record.

Awesome! Thanks to whoever put this up.. I have it on vinyl but it's in storage for some day when I get a turntable again..
Who gives a fuck about the "gay" tag.. one of the very best hands in the air tracks ever - imho.. just dig that grand piano!!
