Twinks might not be what every gay guy is after, but the Swedish artist Straight Up! (made up of Kid ‘n’ Dandy) certainly is. In the possibly NSFW for “Twink,” we see a pretty raunchy approach to reaching the skinny boy utopia: “I’ll strip you down / Turn you around / And then I’ll go to town / So deep into ya / I wanna sink / Twink, twink, twink”; and, “Put up a fight / I say ‘all right’ / It’s better when they’re tight / I get ’em loose / And close to the bring / Twink, twink, twink.” Well then! It’s certainly a different approach to wooing than, say, Blaine’s. [StraightUp.se]

Terrible.. and the only guy that’s remotely cute is the one to the left in the group shot …

It’s okay. I’ve seen worse. Song isn’t that bad.
Ryan
Uhm, yeah, anyway…to find out about actual LGBT artists that don’t set us back a million years, please look up: The Gossip, Semi Precious Weapons, Simon Curtis, Darren Hayes, Tegan and Sara, Matt Alber and Kim Petras.
Or just go with the more commercially successful peeps like Adam Lambert, but just don’t support noise like this twink song, please!
Lefty
It’s not even good bad, it’s just shit.
Dollie
@Ryan: Love the list! Though Semi Precious Weapons might receive the same criticism, I can’t help but jam along to the line “I can’t pay my rent, but I’m fucking gorgeous!” on the first of every month. 😉
I thought the “Twink” video was precious (not that that is what they were going for? I’m not watching for the same reasons.).
Matthew
I thought the quality(camera) of the video was good, but it was literally on repeat, either they forgot to film more or something because it was a loop of a clip.
Daez
I really don’t understand the fascination with twinks. I’m gay because I like men not because I like boys. I don’t like men that look like boys.
Brandon
@Daez Are we done needlessly telling a bunch of guys you think they don’t look right. I’m sure they all cared about your opinion.
Its fun and I’m guessing thats all it was supposed to be.
Ogre Magi
Damn, I nearly creamed my pants!
scribe
not into twinks, but I liked the video… I like my men a little more beefy. The red head was cute though…

“What should we call our gay band?”
“I know! I know! How ’bout ‘Straight up!’?”
“Awwww. You *promised* you’d get off drugs.”
Fitz
This is some damn good queer music out there. Some of it is thoughtful, some of it is cheesy fun. You can find better than this.
T
This is just crap. I can’t even get that upset about the creepy lyrics because the song and video are just awful. Why is this crap on Queerty?
tallskin2
LOL I think it’s good.
Wish I’d been pursued by men like that when I was a twink and gagging for it.
Matt
@Ryan: Don’t forget the Hidden Cameras.
Matt
Maybe it’s just that the Hidden Cameras aren’t well known outside of Canada, but come one, they’re a great queer band! They have much raunchier lyrics than that and their music is better.
“The man that I am with my man” by the Hidden Cameras
“The man that I am with my man
his warm coals heat toes
A shower cleans the surface and holes
Water, soap and hands
I sit while he stands
over me I can hardly see
that he is peeing on my shoulders and knees
a warm, wet, yellow breeze
He towels my head until dry
And leads me to his bed opened wide
For my penis, nose, fingers and feet
Body worn and set for sleep
Taking out my hand
he lifts me up and we both stand
We could be in the army or the klan
’cause when we’re brothers in blood then we are brothers in band
Solid is the rock of my man
Solid is the rock of my man
Solid is the rock of my man
The man that i am with my man
Tamed but feeling no blame
Taking my red wishes in hand
Until my eyes have closed
The man that i am with my man
Pulled, poked and probed
His tongue licks my armpits and chest
Warm, red, salt and wet
Making a cut with a knife on my hand
Then he uses his tongue, licks, swallows and grins
On my knees I do the same to my man
Blood juices loosen me up, in me I feel man in man
Taking out his hand
he lifts me up and pets my head
We could be in the army or the klan
’cause when we’re brothers in blood then we are brothers in band
Solid is the rock of my man
Solid is the rock of my man
Solid is the rock of my man
The men, they are men with their men
Raised in an army camp
They spit on my tarnished hands
and pull at my underpants
I’ll be the man who I am with my man
Dressed in borrowed clothes
He softens my deep blues with his thighs
The fear of ocean underside
Taking out their hands
they lift me up and we all stand
We may be in the army or the klan
’cause when we’re brothers in blood then we are brothers in band
Taking out his hand
he lifts me up and we both stand
We could be in the army or the klan
’cause when we’re brothers in blood then we are brothers in band”
brandon
so wait? you put down perez hilton, queerty, and then post this? i honestly think this needs some harsh critique haha.. that was awful.
Law
@Ryan: Add Kevin Wong to the list … he’s from Toronto – amazing voice and song-writing.
regulargayguy
Sorry you moaning minnies, I can’t get enough of twinks. But the guys in this vid are so vanilla, Queerty can’t possibly justify “raunch” and “lust” in the headline! Being 18 and skinny is a delight. But not one of the pouting prancers in this vid has the phwoarrr factor. Recalibrate.
scott ny'er
I thought the beat was pretty good. And the rapping was meh. The twinks, not for me.
Thrutch
I really liked this, I enjoyed it and though i am no longer a twink. I was once and this made me laugh so hard and catchy. I can’t wait for it to be released i so want a copy
alan brickman
Nambla will love this!!! didn’t realize child porn could be on here….
tallskin2
Alan thickman, you have a very strange view of what a child is.
Adam
Chase’s Hard Candy video was raunchier and more creative. He is kind of twinkish. But this was very cute and fun. I do wish they used more footage and didnt loop most of it.
Taylor Siluwé
@regulargayguy:
“Being 18 and skinny is a delight.”
Ahh, yes ….
And when I’m 80 with two teeth left I’ll still agree. 😉
