Mindless Self Indulgence, Last Gay Song | Wacky Wednesday

In the 32^nd edition of Wacky Wednesday (2025), we break down the unique “Last Gay Song,” performed by Mindless Self Indulgence.

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 32^nd edition of Wacky Wednesday (2025), we break down the unique “Last Gay Song”, performed by Mindless Self Indulgence. Wacky Wednesday vibes commence!

“I’m not / That gay / B-b-but you are!” Noted, Jimmy Urine (James Euringer) and, of course, Mindless Self Indulgence. “Last Gay Song” is the ninth track on the band’s 2024 compilation, MSI B-SIDES vol. 1.  Notably, the song appeared in digital versions of their 2013 album, How I Learned To Stop Giving A Shit And Love Mindless Self Indulgence. After clearing the air about his non-gayness but pointing the finger at us, he sings in the first verse, “S-s-s-s-s-s-s-suck my dick / N-n-n-n-n-never gettin’ tired of it / M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-make me come / I n-, I n-, I never wanna be done.” Ooh-wee, MSI!

Mindless Self Indulgence keeps things brief.  Even so, “Last Gay Song” is jam-packed. It’s gay, but it’s also instrumentally striking.  Those electro-punk vibes are turned up to the nth degree, and who would have it any other way? There are wacky, ultra colorful synths and programming, and pummeling drum programming that hits you right in the chest.  Perhaps the best description is that this gayness feels and sounds like an adrenaline rush. And we’re here for it. “This is the last gay song that I will ever write / So it’s a shame that it’s almost over.” It truly is Jimmy, but what a pre-chorus. Of course, his vocals are as wacky as everything else in this record.

“S-s-s-s-s-s-slip me your tongue

B-b-b-b-b-batter up

F-f-f-f-f-f-finger this

L-l-l-l-l-l-like I give a shit.”

What a gay second verse! Other striking moments include the chorus, where, when it kicks in, Jimmy asserts, “You know, you know, you know, you know I’m gonna fuck it up.” Woo! F-f-f-f-f-f-fuck yeah! There is also the bridge, where, “Motherfuckers, what you want, what you need? / Oh my God / Damn, damn, hit the ropes / Flip the door, raise ‘em up.” Sigh, this “Last Gay Song” by Mindless Self Indulgence is a d-d-d-d-d-damn g-g-g-g-g-good o-o-o-o-o-one!
