PopCast: Midnight Train To Gayness

No PopCast for this week, as I am up to my backside in moving. Instead, today we'll tackle a topic I've been meaning to get to for months, and ask a question for the ages.

Do I sound too gay when I sing "Midnight Train To Georgia?"

Girlfriend Kimberly responds in a definite affirmative, and says it just sounds downright odd when I perform it without changing the pronouns. I, on the other hand, grew up wanting to be a Pip and feel like it should be done in the traditional manner.

Side note, I really did want to be a Pip. I didn't realize it was a family title, I was hoping it was either a job I could apply for, or possibly an elected office.

Anyway, here's the song. The PopCast will return next week, assuming I can find and unpack it.

They can't truly appreciate the song unless they've seen you do The Pips' moves. Woo-woo!

Well, that train dance move always leaves 'em wanting more.

I think it's almost probably possible that you could maybe be singing about a somewhat semi-platonic man-love. How's that for support?

Very good point. It could be a mancrush, or as I refer to it, "fruitwood."

Sounds good. I'm impressed. No this is not the beginnings of fruitwood but you do sound really smooth.

I appreciate that, Trav! I also think I do a pretty good acoustic version of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," but I think revealing that might just make Kimberly's case for her.

Fruitwood....*snerk*!

I've gotta tell JeepMan that one; he'll die laughing...

Better check the insurance policies first though.

Oh, also you sound non-gay.

Non-black, too. Guess you could have been the token white Pip?

You need to change the pronouns. Or it does sound gay. Sorry, I speak with a straight tongue.

It's good. And gay. Totally good and totally gay. Yep.
