“Mean Gays”, an anthemic club track, pokes fun at stereotypes, but the song and video were inspired by Act’s own struggles fitting in with the LGBTQ* community.
Produced by Chrome Canyon, “Mean Gays” is Courtney Act’s third dance floor release.
He looks like Tarzan and talks like Jane
He's so damn sexy, I no complain
He's all juiced up
He is a "top"
He’ll do your hair and then your make up
They’ll take you down with just one look
They hunt in packs
They don’t read books
Injectable tan and no tattoos
Too young for botox
Got nothing to lose
Wo wo wo wow
They're mean gays
They live in West Hollywood
They're mean, mean gays
Well you would if you could
They're mean gays
Don’t think I'm misunderstood
They might look nice but do think
Twice before you take one on
They wear designer sneakers but yours they'll take
They like party drugs and protein shakes
They don’t care what you’re about
They chew you up and spit you out
Wo wo wo wow
They're mean gays
They live in West Hollywood
They're mean, mean gays
Well you would if you could
They're mean gays
Don’t think I'm misunderstood
They might look nice but do think
Twice before you take one on
Wo wo wo wow
They're mean gays
They live in West Hollywood
They're mean, mean gays
Well you would if you could
They're mean gays
Don’t think I'm misunderstood
They might look nice but do think
Twice before you take one on
They're envy of the girls
And the envy of the boys
If you bump into one
They won't be acting coy
They’ll be sipping caipirinhas made from artificial sweeteners
A circuit week Barcelona over to Ibiza, Ibiza, Ibiza...
They're mean gays
They live in West Hollywood
They're mean, mean gays
Well you would if you could
They're mean gays
Don’t think I'm misunderstood
They might look nice but do think
Twice before you take one on
They're mean gays
They live in West Hollywood
They're mean, mean gays
Well you would if you could
They're mean gays
Don’t think I'm misunderstood
They might look nice but do think
Twice before you take one on
She's a mean gay
I live in West Hollywood
She's a mean, mean gay
Well you would if you could
She's a mean gay
Don’t think I'm misunderstood
I might look nice but do think
Twice before you take me on
Wo Wo Wo Wow
She's a mean gay
I live in West Hollywood
She's a mean, mean gay
Well you would if you could
She's a mean gay
Don’t think I'm misunderstood
I might look nice but do think
Twice before you take me on
