27 June 2014: it's... The Pride Set

[RGMike]

TV clip about a lesbian kiss (??) --> "Miss Chatelaine", kd lang.

I was hoping you'd be able to ID that clip -- I got nothing.

But in the "new blood" column, we seem to be doing well. Both the Billy Bragg and kdl tunes are first-timers, iirc.

both have made prev appearances. But far from FF territory. And I could never understand why the Carl Bean wasn't on Dave's radar, but AL has played it in all her Pride Sets.

Will & Grace "I'd say *someone's* gay" --> Willie Nelson, "Cowboys are Frequently Secretly Fond of each Other" (or whatever it's called).  BOS5

[RGMike]

"I went to a bar mitzvah once, that doesn't make me Jewish!" --> Blur, "Boys & Girls"

"I went to a bar mitzvah once, that doesn't make me Jewish!" --> Blur, "Boys & Girls"

Was that clip from Friends? The female voice sounded a lot like Lisa Kudrow.

[RGMike]

NPH "Theater's not just for gays anymore" --> "Wig in a Box from Hedwig. Nice segue.

it was her, but from the movie The Opposite of Sex, iirc.

NPH "Theater's not just for gays anymore" --> "Wig in a Box from Hedwig. Nice segue.

I think this is the Polyphonic Spree cover of "Wig", from the Hedwig tribute record of the same name.

[RGMike]

Harvey Milk --> Sylvester, a necessary FF.

[urth]

NPH "Theater's not just for gays anymore" --> "Wig in a Box from Hedwig. Nice segue.

I think this is the Polyphonvic Spree cover of "Wig", from the Hedwig tribute record of the same name.

By the way, I wish AL would visit the Hedwig soundtrack more often. We've heard Wig several times, but I think she could easily drop a few of the other songs into various theme sets -- Midnight Radio, perhaps, or Wicked Little Town?

[urth]

So I guess that means Sylvester is in, but no "Glad to Be Gay" or songs with any sort of AIDS subtext.

Shows what I know. GtbG makes a token appearance leading into the backsell, but just a couple of lines of the chorus so we don't have to hear about any gay-bashing. Nice to hear in any case.

Renee's set from last year: 

1. George Michael - Freedom '90
2. Timbuk3 - Leagalize Our Love
3. Lenny Kravitz - Let Love Rule
4. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - Same Love
5. Joe Jackson - Real Men
6. Madonna - Vogue
7. Erasure - A Little Respect
8. Rufus Wainwright - One Man Guy
9. Tom Robinson Band - Glad To Be Gay
10. Lady Gaga - Born This Way

I remember thinking it was pretty impressive, for her,  and I stand by that.

I missed the set, it seems like the usual suspects.  I know Hedwig's Wig In A Box gets trotted out for this quite often, but don't we always heard the Polyphonic Spree version?  Why not the original film recording or the bway recording or whatever?
