It’s already May and there’s no clear contender for the summer 2014 anthem. This greatly worries HitFix’s Louis Virtel, AKA “C-3PO’s masculinity coach.” After all, by this time last year “Blurred Lines” already owned the airwaves. Watch Virtel try to make sense of the desperate situation by analyzing possibilities by One Direction, Katy Perry, Avril Lavigne and others below.

My song of the summer is ” who Cares”

Ugh. Top 40. The suburban shopping center of music: catch the latest hit from Chili’s and stay tuned for your favorites from Hollister, Claires, and Olive Garden.

At this rate it looks like it might be Fancy by Iggy Azaelea, but I wouldn’t count out Katy Perry’s new song. As long as something comes around that can kill Happy I’ll be, well, happy.

My vote is for Cazwell’s “No Selfie Control”. A song that is not Top 40, is written and performed by a gay musician, and reflects our current obsession with self portraits.

@HeroQueero:
No Selfie Control has been out too long for it to be a summer anthem.

Robyn and Royksopp’s ‘Do it again’

Realistically, you can be sure that no openly gay man will be amongst the candidates for song of the summer.

@lemon-lime: I second that.

Oh, it’s been found, already climbing the charts: “Love Never Felt So Good” – Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake. It sounds like liquid sex.

The gay song of the summer is right here in the “I don’t give a fuck” column. 🙂
