โAnd he looks so good / Walking through that door / Oh, I wish I could / Be the ending that heโs looking for.โ ๐๐๐!!! Be prepared to #SLAY! LGBTQ Bopz ๐๐ถ embraces, highlights, and celebrates singles and tracks by LGBTQIA musicians or allies.ย In this column, we provide background and insight into the respective musician(s), as well as analyze + go gaga over the decadent bops being served up.ย Furthermore, when the music dictates deeper, more transcendent discussion, we ensure the point is articulated to the fullest.ย All styles of music are welcome while the BOPZ can be classics or brand-spanking new. So, without further ado, in the 6th edition of LGBTQ Bopz ๐๐ถ (2023), we highlight ๐ต โStory of a Boyโ performed by ๐ JORDY.
โThis is the story of a boy / Iโd adore him if I had a choice,โ ๐ JORDY asserts on ๐ต โStory of a Boyโ. Hmm ๐ค, why does this song sound familiar? Well, JORDY covers the 2000 classic, ๐ต โAbsolutely (Story of a Girl)โ by rock collective, ๐ Nine Days.ย In fact, according to MTV, he is the first person to be granted permission to cover the song!ย Of course, the handsome and talented openly gay pop musician doesnโt play it straight โ why should he! He, with the blessing of Nine Days frontman, ๐ John Hampson,ย ย transforms the โAbsolutely (Story of a Girl)โ to fit who he is.ย How effing cool is that?
โHe doesnโt know my name / But I could give much moreโฆโ A relatively short number, โStory of a Boyโ is another awesome addition to the ever expanding queer music catalog.ย In his hands, the record is both reflective and longing. โMoved here from a small town / Fell in with the wrong crowd,โ he sings in the first verse, adding, โI donโt blame him โcause most people suck / And leave you crushed.โ ย In the second, JORDY frets about Hollywood (which always gets a bad name, haha), and says of this guy, โAnd I watch him on the internet / Trying to be happy / He wouldnโt have to if he knew that he could have me.โ Ooh-la-la! JORDY is the sugar honey iced tea in case you didnโt know.ย He keeps it queer, and who would have it any other way? I find it incredibly cool he took a 00s hit and reintroduced it to a new generation from a gay perspective.ย Mad props to this surefire LGBTQ Bop ๐๐ถ!!!
