Electric Six - Gay Bar Lyrics Meaning

This band takes on alternative personalities in their music, and this song is just one more example of that. It is not inherently homophobic, nor homophilic, at least not in trying to offer a message meaning.

Much like Mike Patton, David Bowie, etc. the persona that this band employs is not truly them, at least I dont think it is. Consider "High Voltage" a song about two people driven by lust. I have serious doubts that this is a true representation of the actual band.

This song is basically a bunch of nonsense about a couple people going to a gay bar, for whatever reason, possibly they are closeted, who knows they are real anyway. The Lincoln references may be referring to allegations that Lincoln was gay, who knows. That part could also be more nonsense.

This song is meant to be provocative and/or satirical, could also just be nonsense.
