about

Pride Month is right around the corner, and while multinational corporations are beginning to clean eleven months’ worth of dust off of their rainbow logos, Middle-Aged Queers are dropping a new track.

"This Song Is Sponsored By Absolut Vodka,” written by the Bay Area's stalwart queer punk veterans Middle-Aged Queers, offers a sardonic critique of the commercialization of LGBTQ+ Pride Month.

Originally released on the eponymous benefit vinyl compilation "Punk Rock Saves Lives…the Album! Vol. II," the song is finally available for streaming.

ALSO: We made a *rainbow* tie-dye t-shirt! middleagedqueers.bandcamp.com/merch/green-day-parody-t-shirt-rainbow-tie-dye-edition
Pride month is coming up. Instead of giving money to large corporations slapping rainbows on everything, why not give money to us?

lyrics

You’ve got a gay boss man
at your startup so you’ll be marching
At this years pride parade,
they’ll put a rainbow on your logo
You’ll walk your city blocks
Marking the anniversary of
When a fearless leader named Tim Cook
Threw the first brick at Stonewall

Ride that float, and throw out beads
White collar squares present diversity
Attentive crowds for their marketing
Take out the gay, replace with bourgeoisie

Blocks and blocks of corporations
Wells Fargo loves dual income
And no kids, what a market!
Lock in a low interest mortgage
At the booth, get a keychain
and a pink frisbee it’s next to
the dance stage sponsored by
Target and Absolut Citron

Ride that float, and throw out beads
White collar squares present diversity
Attentive crowds for their marketing
Take out the gay, replace with bourgeoisie
