He's so gay
Frank Zappa · Have I Offended Someone? [1997]
He's so gay
He's so gay
He's very very gay
He's so gay
He's so gay
And he likes to be that way
With his keys all on the right
He's into rubber every night
He's so gay
He's so gay
He's ALMOST EVERYONE TODAY
He's okay
He's okay
He's got a role he wants to play
He's okay
He's okay
He's just a cowboy for a day
Of course, his evening's not complete
Without some meat in the seat;
Let's skate away
Down Santa Monica today
Maybe he wants a little spanking
Maybe he'll eat a little chain
Maybe his lover should be thanking him
For the way he makes it sprinkle
Into drops of GOLDEN RAIN
He's so gay
He's so gay
He rules the city in a way
You could say
You could say
It's sorta different today
All the taffeta and chintz
And every Leather Boy's a PRINCE
Hey hey hey!
Please don't look the other way
You could be just like him
TOMORROW!
Maybe you'll get a chance
To borrow
(Borrow)
His bouquet
And maybe later...MAYBE LATER
We'll ALL BE
GAY-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y!
DO YOU REALLY WANNA HURT ME?

Frank Zappa's "He's so gay" stands as a provocative and satirical anthem from the 1997 compilation album *Have I Offended Someone?*. Recorded during the final years of his career, the track exemplifies Zappa's signature blend of surreal humor, social commentary, and musical virtuosity. The song challenges conventional norms through its bold title and lyrics, reflecting Zappa's lifelong commitment to questioning societal expectations regarding gender and sexuality. It features his characteristic complex arrangements and driving rhythm, showcasing his mastery of rock, jazz, and experimental fusion. As a key piece in his later discography, the recording remains a testament to his ability to provoke thought while delivering a high-energy performance that defined his enduring legacy in progressive rock.
