Baths, Homosexuals | Wacky Wednesday

In the 46^th edition of Wacky Wednesday (2025), we break down the unique “Homosexuals,” performed by Baths.

Do you know what day it is? It is Wednesday, folks! Do you know what that means? Why, it is Wacky Wednesday! In the spirited column Wacky Wednesday, we analyze, break down, and explore songs from various musicians of various genres that can be considered unique, unusual, or ‘wacky.’  These songs can be new or old; the only requirement is that they ‘catch the ears’ because of their distinctiveness.  With the background established, in the 46^th edition of Wacky Wednesday (2025), we break down the unique “Homosexuals”, performed by Baths. Wacky Wednesday vibes commence!

“I know men in equal urge / When you are not.” Intriguing, Baths (Will Wiesenfeld). Please, tell us more.  “Brunettes are sharp / On an isle of blondes.” Hmm, that is underselling blondes, isn’t it? Make what you will of the compelling and unique songwriting of “Homosexuals”.  Wiesenfeld keeps the listener on their toes lyrically, even with repetition in the mix. Fun fact, those homosexuals aren’t explicitly named in “Homosexuals.” Are they referenced on the fifth track from Bath’s 2025 album, Gut? You bet! Another striking lyric: “My love is a dog barking / And dogs barking far off.” Woof-woof!

Pausing on the lyrical front, the production is top-notch on “Homosexuals.” It begins with an ear-catching melodic ostinato, which sets the tone.  Among other elite sounds are mammoth drums, which sound particularly distinct within the mix.  Also, additional rhythmic, percussive sounds are epic, adding to the picturesque nature of the backdrop. Baths has ample fuel for the fire from his kick-ass production work. Vocally, he sounds beautiful, expressive, and sincere in his performance.  Those thought-provoking lyrics align with memorable melodies, highlighted by the crème de la crème, the centerpiece, extraordinary, the chorus!

“Toss a flock of lovers all my effort

And see who comes to eat

Know that none of how I’ve loved is working

Please devour me

Might the mass of all of us digested

Be camaraderie

Know that none of how I’ve loved is working

But I guess I’m free.” 

The chorus recurs throughout “Homosexuals”, in all its love, or non-love-oriented glory. Baths slays on one of the most unique homosexual songs you’ll ever hear. Epic!
