This Pride Month, we’re feeling inspired by the fact that you beautiful horny freaks immediately skyrocketed our munching playlist to the top spot on Them’s Spotify channel, narrowly edging out our horny playlist. Apparently you all want to hear more dirty queer songs? Well, we’re happy to oblige! Introducing our filthy Pride playlist — a sexual celebration that we hope can offer you some reprieve from hearing the same pop anthems at every march and parade all June long.
Considering that our feral spring playlist already contained two songs about piss play, beating that out was going to be a tough game. But with the combined power of our team, I’m proud to say that I think we accomplished something truly depraved — and something much more in keeping with my own queer spirit. Don’t get me wrong, I like some Pride anthems. “Born This Way” was incredibly formative for my young homosexual self. But personally, I gravitated far more toward the raunchiness of Lady Gaga songs like “Scheiße” and “Government Hooker,” both off that same album, over anything that could be safely played on a parade float.
While plenty of sex jams are more suggestive in nature, most of the songs on this month’s playlist are loudly, explicitly, and lyrically freaky. We kicked things off with the face-melting “Ponyboy” by SOPHIE, perhaps the best song about pony play to ever exist (and… probably one of the only ones). Of course, we had to include “Nasty” by Tinashe, which isn’t as explicit, but the viral hit set the tone for the summer by being brave enough to ask the question “Is somebody gonna match my freak?” I have always thought of “Closer” by Nine Inch Nails as a freak anthem, and thankfully, I was able to find an excellent trans cover of it by Mel 4ever and Mimi Zima. In addition to pop and R&B, horny queer punk songs also feature prominently on this list, ranging from Pansy Division’s “I’m Gonna Be a Slut” to Sorry Mom’s “I Fucked Yr Mom.” (And yes, that latter track is about exactly what it it says on the tin.)
I’m not saying that this is our unofficial “kink at Pride” playlist, but I’m not not saying that either. That being said, we can’t be held responsible for whatever shenanigans may result from blasting these songs. Listener discretion is advised.
