“Rush week is my crush week / I’m ready to get hazed.” I have no doubt you are ready to get hazed, Jonny McGovern.  It’s giving a heaping dose of masculinity… Hopefully non-toxic, of course! Keeping it 💯, many frat boys are H-O-T 🥵.  They are easy to objectify, even if their behavior is questionable…  From the gay perspective, with frat boys, assumed to be heterosexual, being physically desirable, it plays into a gay fetishizing straight scenario.  But let’s bring it back down a little bit and focus on McGovern’s kick-ass bop, “Frat Boy Car Wash”. The gay bop maker taps Adam Joseph for the assist on the third track from his 2025 album, Man Areas. McGovern penned the song, while Joseph not only raps on it, but also produced it.

“Frat Boy Car Wash” features sleek production work (Joseph).  The musical backdrop is hip-hop driven, set in a minor key. This is the perfect fit for a lustful, man-loving joint like this one 😍! Both McGovern and Joseph rap throughout, with the overall sound and vibe landing somewhere between pop and rap. McGovern drops bars that highlight the hotness of frat boys.  He’s not wrong 🥵 😈. Honestly, haven’t some fraternity activities, such as hazing, given off a homoerotic vibe? Of course, there is also gay adult entertainment that plays up such stereotypes, taking things to the next level 😈, and again, fetishizing straights. Anyways, Jonny characterizes these bois as jocks with attractive bodies, amplified at their car washes where they, um, slip and slide all over the cars being washed. Unsurprisingly, Jonny mentions the D (“Little shorts, big dick, … be flopping”). The video clips co-sign the beauty of these college men, physically, as well as their confidence.  After all, in the fraternity, isn’t the body always bodying? That is the stereotype, and neither Jonny nor Adam Joseph backs down from it.  The entertaining, titillating music video highlights frat boys bodying, painting quite the portrait of gay desire.  Ultimately, Jonny McGovern is having fun on “Frat Boy Car Wash”.  Much can be read into the silly, tongue-in-cheek, horny lyrics, but it’s probably best to take it with a grain of salt.
