Track of the Day: RevCo

​Songs make it onto the Track of the Day radar for all sorts of reasons. This new tune from industrial vets RevCo (Revolting Cocks) caught our ear for the simple reason that it's totally ridiculous, cheesy techno colliding with an ironic "Party Hard" attitude.

"I'm Not Gay" basically comprises a deadpan, stuttering assertion of the title (and a takedown of Texas) that builds up to a blown out chorus of "It's hard to be a homo/It's hard to be a homo/It's hard to be a homo in the USA."

The song is screaming out for a remix, as that blast off chorus is the best part, although the blatant sarcasm in lines like "I'm not gay. I just pretend I am when I'm drunk. I have a girlfriend. I'm not gay" is an amusing listen too.

My all time favorite Revolting Cocks anthem, however, remains "Beers, Steers & Queers," another anti-Lone Star State ditty mixing cowboy and queer culture.
