Hilarious Gay Spoof of "I'm Still Here"

Categories: Stephen Sondheim, gaaaaayyyyyy, theater, things I like

If you're already saying "I'm Still What?" then don't bother with this post, please.

But if you know the immortal Sondheim tune from Follies as if it were your own name, then you will adore this reworking of it by one Fred Landau into "I'm Still Queer," a riotous romp in which a man (vocals by William Parry) sings about how he doesn't like anything stereotypically gay, but "I'm still queer!"

In the lyric, the atypical homosexual actually thinks the Lauren Bacall musical Applause was too long! And that Chita
Rivera
is too sincere! And he missed Lincoln Center's King Lear! But he's queer...he's still queer....

Interesting. Of course, the parody is filled with broadway references so why would anyone doubt he's queer even if he didn't like them. Mention Steel Pier? You're queer.

"Some folks prefer a gay cliche, I can't concur, that's not my way." Really? Follies?

Hard to believe since he wrote his parody to such an ultra queeny song. If he was really so butch he would have written to a Springsteen or Stones song.

Tres amusant as they say. Even grumpy old bears should crack a little smile over this ditty.

I smile at your little crack, la Puta Grande.
I'll pretend to get all of the references.
Well sung and funny.
