The California Gurls of AIDS LifeCycle: The Lycra + Drag Queen Edition

By Queerty Staff June 18, 2010 at 1:35pm · Updated on June 11, 2013

It’s not quite the shot-by-shot remake we were looking for, but the gays riding in the AIDS LifeCycle put this number together, and it makes you realize: They are the real California gurls.

Not only did I love this song and video I also love how one can watch youtube.com in HD. I wish someone would remake Oliva Newton-John’s Physical. Unless I’m wrong I do believe that was the first music-video aimed at a gay audience.
