Aural Only: Tricky

By now, you’re probably aware that gay men only care about Lady Gaga, penises and Britney Spears. If you haven’t figured this out by now, then you should pick up your handbook from the official headquarters of homosexuality. Oh, and don’t forget! You’re not eligible to suck cock unless you know the entire “Single Ladies” or “Bad Romance” dance routine.

Given this criteria, we thought we’d trick you into caring about English musician Tricky by posting his cover of Britney’s “Piece of Me”. The song features vocalist Franky Riley and acts as a B-side to the artist’s “Murder Weapon” single.

Even if you’re not a fan of Ms. Spears, we’d still recommend checking out this version. It’s really a gorgeous production, complete with haunting vocals and lush instrumentation. Plus, it’s an excellent way to pre-game for the Brittany-Britney episode of Glee!

  1. This was just weird…not to mention pretty awful, oh and boring. I’m just waiting for that racist guy to comment! He always knows how to liven up a topic, lmfao!

  2. I liked it! The original is still better and I cannot wait for Glee and Britney!

    Haters can continue to hate, since it won’t make a difference anyway.

  3. Wait a minute: I’m gay & care for neither Lady G nor Ms Spears. I know a number or gay guys who have no interest in cocks, as well… I do care about grammar, however: I’d have said: “…gay men care only about…” Also, what about those of us who enjoy sports and or culture that is not of the pop persuasion? Who is it that presumes to define us ALL in this way? I resent it. I’m no different from any other man except when it comes to how & with whom I get my rocks off. That simple.

  4. With all the amazing, groundbreaking dance and pop music out there (Golden Filter, The Juan Macclean, Goldfrapp, Rokysopp), it’s appalling that go many gay men love has-beens like Brit and talentless singers like Lady CaCa. I thought gay men were supposed to be on the cutting edge of music, not taking cues from prepubescent girls.

  5. tom,

    You sir are a goose. A silly one at that. It’s acceptable when writing for an informal audience to convey oneself in a similarly informal tone. For example, “With what dildo shall I fuck you?” is significantly less boner-inducing than “What dildo can I fuck you with?”

    I highly suggest you and your masculinity complex settle down. If you have no interest in cocks, perhaps you should be visiting FOX news instead. (Insert political joke about FOX being a bunch of cocks anyways here.)

    In conclusion, this seems like a silly blog for you to read if you “resent” “gay” “topics.”

    I’d sign off saying “hugs and kisses” but I’m afraid that as a man who enjoys being in the proximity of male genitals that you might be weirded out.

  6. The list of what gay men like is intended to incite a response? These so called icons are paraded in front of us to take our minds off of what is happening in the real world. Over half a yr of coverage on MSNBC of Britney shaving her head being called “news” while the puppet masters dig us in deeper. And Gaga… if ever there was a Madonna clone…. (updated version 3.0 of course) Totally agree with the previous poster. Gay men have much more cutting edge taste than this has been garbage.

  7. I’m just excited for Britney’s episode. Can’t wait to see her doing sit-com again. We must confess shes does it really well.

  8. LOVE IT! have loved Tricky’s trip-hop since forever.
    Aftermath is the best post bone song EVER!
    Gay men have NO taste in real music.. it’s sad really
