Lyrics:

We are down, we are crazy fools everyday at school.

Teachers here, teachers there,

Books and books, they are everywhere.

Come on boys, we need to dance, we have got a good chance.

Lay your problems on the floor, clap your hands and sing once more:

Everybody, let's go to the "King",

We can dance there, dance and eat an ice-cream.

Everybody dancing all night long,

Try to do it, sing a happy song.

Music, dancing in the night, we can get so high,

For no reason no long stop, now's the time to go to the top.

It's a sweeter happy song, we'll sing all night long.

Lay your problems on the floor, clap your hands and sing once more:

Everybody, let's go to the "King",

It's time to dance, it's time to sing, sing a happy song, a happy song.

Let's go, let's go boys, come with me and sing, sing a happy song.

Come on boys, we need to dance, we all have got a good, good chance.

Lay your problems on the floor, clap your hands and sing once more.

Music sound in the night, we all can get so high,

For no reason no long stop, now's the time to go to the top.

Songwriter: Ira Raibon

We are down, we are crazy fools everyday at school.

Come on boys, we need to dance, we have got a good chance.

Everybody, let's go to the "King".

Let's go, let's go boys, come with me and sing, sing a happy song.

Everybody, let's go to the "King",

Everybody

BACK TO THE FUTURE: PRESCIENT POP FROM THE 1980s

Rampant artificial intelligence? Robot sex? Art made by machines? Information Age mental-health issues? Global boiling? Whatever your favourite paranoid vision of the future may once have been, you were right: they’ve all come true. Welcome. It’s been three decades since I was a teenager, and I find it fascinating to watch the prognostications of the 1980s manifesting themselves in real time only…

*Getting lots of music recommendations from the comments*

*Also yes, Rasputin by Bonny M. seems to be the one track everyone can agree on :D*

Queer music is impossible to define because we are not a monolith and we all have our own tastes and styles but it sure is not harry styles and taylor swift

Lyrics:

Yeah

Yeah

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago

He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow

Most people look at him with terror and with fear

But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear

He could preach the Bible like a preacher

Full of ecstasy and fire

But he also was the kind of teacher

Women would desire

Yeah

Ra-ra-rasputin

Lover of the Russian Queen

There was a cat that really was gone

Ra-ra-rasputin

Russia's greatest love machine

It was a shame how he carried on

On, on

Yeah

Lived a certain man in Russia long ago

He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow

Most people look at him with terror and with fear

But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear

He could preach the Bible like a preacher

Full of ecstasy and fire

But he also was the kind of teacher

Women would desire

Let's go

Ra-ra-rasputin

Lover of the Russian Queen

There was a cat that really was gone

Ra-ra-rasputin

Russia's greatest love machine

It was a shame how he carried on

Yeah
