The Top 10 Definitive Pansy Division Songs

Rocco Papa

Pansy Division formed in the early nineties by Jon Ginoli. Ginoli was into punk rock and found himself isolated from the local gay scene. Surrounded by dance music and show tunes, he set out to find other gay men who shared his passion. The goal of the band was also to have a gay presence among a predominantly heterosexual genre of music.

The result was a band that made music as unfiltered and direct as possible. Giving a voice to many gay men, Pansy Division touched on topics like sex, politics, relationships, and dating. Here are their ten best songs.

10. Political Asshole

This track embodies the rage so many gay men feel when our sexuality is used as political tools.

9. Dirty Young Man

Sung from the perspective of an older man, this track proves that age is just a number.

8. Vicious Beauty

We've all been bullied and sometimes those bullies find a way back into our adulthood.

7. Bad Boyfriend

If you've been a bad boyfriend, it's best to take responsibility and own it. This song helps you do just that.

6. Luv Luv Luv

Pop music can sometimes send out this misleading, fairy tale depiction of love. This song attempts to break that mold.

5. Groovy Underwear

If you've ever had a fetish for underwear, this is your song.

4. Some Of My Best Friends

Written and sung by Joel Reader, the first straight member of the band, this song shows that it's okay for straight people to defend their gay friends.

3. Blame The Bible

From the band's most recent album, "Quite Contrary," this song is timely in an age where "religious freedom" has become a topic of discussion.

2. I Really Wanted You

A straight friend (and crush) not only gets into a relationship, but gets engaged, and heartbreak ensues. If you're a gay man, you've been there. This song is for you. This video was aired once on the MTV show, "120 Minutes."

1. Fem In A Black Leather Jacket

Taken from their debut album, this song talks about the sexiness in guys that don't fit the stereotypical masculine mold.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
