"What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be."
Ellen Burstyn
We've all heard of the phrase 'not safe for work', usually abbreviated into NSFW. Well this post was inspired by that and by the fact I often find myself singing along to songs that, rather than not being safe for just work, aren't safe for company at all. Hence the title of this post. Company usually being my parents. Certain songs are better sang when nobody is around and thankfully I usually catch myself before anything too bad slips out but there have been times I've forgotten I wasn't alone.
Nobody does offensive and 'crude' songs quite like drag queens and I've been listening to a lot of drag music since I started watching RuPaul's Drag Race, so naturally I decided to make this first NSFC Songs post drag themed. So below are some of my favourite songs to sing when I know for sure there isn't anybody around to hear me.
Disclaimer: Remember these songs and videos may be offensive and/or crude, involving adult subject matter. So if you're sensitive to that kind of thing you're best just not listening or watching. You have been warned.
DTF by Adore Delano
Hole Pic by Willam
Tranny Chaser by RuPaul
Thick Thighs by Willam ft Latrice Royale
Bettie by Violet Chachki
Legs by Laganja Estranja ft Rye Rye
So there you have it, some of my favourite songs that you probably don't want to sing around company. Or at least company without the same perverse taste in music as you.
What are your favourite NSFC songs?
I fell in love with Rupaul's Drag Race just over a year ago! But if anyone has stolen my heart it has to be Adore Delano! Her song featuring Alaska "We look Fu**ing cool" Has to be one of my favourites, although if I listen to it on the bus I kind of have to turn my volume down a little or people look at me like I am insane! I Love this post!

Yes! I love Adore too and almost included that song for the fact it uses a swear word so many times. Haha. I also love Alaska. I think my all round favourite is Willam though. I just love his parody songs and his snappy one liners. But yeah, the bus is one of those places you have to be careful with these songs. Haha.
DeleteSame here haha! I love parody songs! William is just so quick but bianca del Rio is also super quick. I wish I could see her live at one of her comedy shows! Haha
ReplyDeleteI'm so bummed out because all the drag queens end up performing in places that aren't wheelchair friendly when they come to Belfast or Dublin. Adore was going to perform somewhere that was and I had tickets but then she cancelled. I've given up seeing any of them live now. Haha.
