Awwww yiss

I love this video so much, for so many reasons. LET ME LIST THE MAIN ONES FOR YOU, BECAUSE I LOVE TO MAKE LISTS

1) Heteronormativity? What heteronormativity? Oh, the heteronormativity that they shook up and stood on its head.

2) Sexy fat ladies singing and dancing on top of tables. Hell yes.

3) Awesome song.

Thanks for the link, Sher and I loved it.

1) Considering that Sex, Gender/Sexual Identity and Sexual Expression are all more appropriately expressed as a sliding scale between two extremes, "normativity" is really just the lazy man's shortcut of trying to stuff people into neatly-labelled boxes. Fuck that.

2) I suspect I would look remarkably close to that, if I put myself into a wonderfully sparkly dress. Without the awesome voice, sadly.

3) Yes, and catchy to boot. It'll be running inside my brain for a while. XD

Awesome! I'm glad I could spread the love on.

1) Yeah, I really like the whole "gender blending" idea. Interestingly, interacting with people in my W&GS class has really made me realize just how enforced heteronormativity is -- I mean, before that, I didn't have that much exposure. Now I look around at all the (usually female) students and realize how much time most of them spend on their hair.

2) Everyone should have a wonderfully sparkly dress. :D PICTURES!

3) I had to go buy it from iTunes. It seems... slower, weirdly enough. Possibly I need to try getting an illegal copy of it. Bah.

Awesome that it's just stuck right in a video like that, really. :) Also, damn you, another song I have to download! It is So Catchy, and good to bop to. *shakes fist in a halfhearted manner because who are we kidding about me and my music addiction, really?*

Gay rocket, GO! By which I mean, hee your icon!

Mwahaha! I am vaguely surprised you have not seen this video yet (unless you have and are just being nice and commenting), since I found it on the genderfork site. But! I am glad I could spread the boppiness.

Also, I have the official, iTunes version if'n you're interested. It... doesn't seem quite as boppy as the video version and I can't figure out why. Or how that even works. But! Maybe it's just because there is no jaunty lady and moustached man jaunting around.

Really cool group! I'd never heard them! And the video is EPIC so totally epic. Thanks for the link!

[squeemu]

I'd only heard one song by them before, "Standing in the Way of Control." Pretty awesome song, too, but as far as I know the video isn't quite as epic. Glad I spread it along!
