We all have songs that have us running to the dance floor, but what are the songs that “have you go into gay fabulosity”? That’s the question one Reddit user recently posed on the r/askgaybros subreddit, and the responses should give you a jump on this year’s Pride playlist.

How can you omit …I Am What I Am by Gloria Gaynor ?
Tombear
What about Judy’s rendition of ”Somewhere Over the Rainbow. In the 80s that was our anthem.

Use it Up And Wear It Out by Pat and Mick. Guaranteed to pack the floor in any gay bar in the early 90s.
And no Vogue?
Flo
“Telephone” by Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce is the ultimate.
Godabed
No Robyn?

Ray of Light. Madge. The entire CD.

If Vogue (queen of pop) isn’t on a list referring to “gay fabulosity,” then said list cant be taken seriously.
lykeitiz
Was literally going to post that exact same thing!

NO Madonna? seriously bitch?

This entire thread is kind of disturbing, substitute “gay fabulosity” for “urban jungle” and watch the front office fill up with lawyers. And this song selection is crap.
Blackceo
Older white gays maybe

I can’t believe “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” isn’t on this list. Everytime it comes on, the floor is packed.
I’m glad Janet made the list. Anything by her gets the floor packed.
I despise “Vogue”.
whateverokok
I despise almost all of the music that is on that list. If you can call it music. Real music thrives on college radio and was done by real musicians with real talent. some of whom who were just inducted into the rock n roll of fame this past weekend. But then one normally doesn’t go to gay clubs to listen to music anyway.

No Kylie Minogue? This list is a sham!
