Willie Nelson Releases Gay Cowboy Song

February 15th, 2006 // 68 Comments

*willie_nelson_thumb1.jpgWillie Nelson has released “Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)”, which may be the first gay cowboy song by a major recording artist. The song, which debuted Tuesday on Howard Stern’s satellite radio show, features choppy Tex-Mex style guitar runs and Nelson’s deadpan delivery of lines like, “What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?” and “Inside every cowboy there’s a lady who’d love to slip out” and “if sexiness was corn, your ass would be Iowa.” Amazingly, I only made that last line up.

But what could be hotter than the combination of Willie Nelson and homo-erotic love? I had no idea country music was full of so much rampant homesexuality. I guess the ten-gallon hats and chaps should’ve tipped me off. That, and being hit on buy some guy calling himself the Bone Ranger.

    Willie just kept on tokin and talking. Figured something’s gotta go his way and help him pay off the IRS.

    That’s one smokin injun who knows how to cash in.

    Next you’ll have Neil Young signing:

    Wish we could be,
    on bareback mountain
    with our 501 buttholes on….

    Yall get back to bareback mountain now, hear.

    P.S. I love chaps (don’t be afraid)

    This is almost as bad as when I found out Rob Halford from Judas Priest was gay.
    But, then Willy was probably loaded when he wrote that song and still doesn’t know what happened.

    Kinda gives new meaning to “Cowboys ain’t easy to love and they’re harder to hold”.

    No wonder mamas shouldn’t let their babies grow up to be cowboys – sounds like it’s a good way to get ass-raped.

    Yee Haw.

    it’s just that cowboys have been beating up and killing homos for so long, they realized they’re homos too. it’s all in the Evolutionary Law of Gays, written by Darwin.

    Willie didn’t write this song, and he released it after one of his friends came out of the closet recently. Apparently, in the opinion of a 107.1 dj in Austin, it’s willie’s way of saying he’s cool with his friend. I love WILLIE NELSON!!! coolest guy ever, especially in concert.

    In response to comment #8 – LMAO!

    I think Willie is sad now that he was rejected by Jessica Simpson, he thought she was serious when she flirted with him in her video, “These Boots are Made for Walkin’” He now has gone the other way, WAAAAAAY other way now.

    I was not mocking gays, I have some that are friends just in case some hater wants to try and jump all over my comment.

    I bet every cowboy who has ever camped out with Willy, or smoked some bud with him on a hot summer’s night is now shitting their pants. Because yes my friends, he was checking out your ass as you rolled up your sleeping bag. And now he’s singing songs about it.

    That song was originally sung by Pansy Division, a gay punk band from SF, on the album “Pileup” in 1995.

    One song… “Mama’s Don’t Let Your Babies Grow-Up to be Cowboys”
    Seeing him Friday at the SA rodeo, it will be embarrassing to witness hot homo-cowboy sex since I’ll be with my dad.

    #32 mnyc You are my new hero.I don’t want to know how you knew about this song and the Pansy Division but I went to AMG to check it out and of course it’s true, all hilariously true.

    I would recomend the uninformed check out the track listing for “Pileup” . Way too funny.

    And he has a front tooth gap. With this campy song he finally has ALL the ingredients for a gay icon.

    But seriously, I love Willie. All you cynics can say he’s cashing in via Broke Back Mountain but I appauld him as a voice speaking up against the sickening homophobia of our current president and his administration, (note: expection = Cheney)

    Not a funny comment here- I’m from Tennessee and am around a lot of real cowboys, none that are gay. My husband wears cowboy hats, boots, chaps (when it is cold- they do serve a purpose) , the whole git up… however, this song and movie may make him decide to wear a size larger wranglers….but really, Willie is just liberal and props to him for making some homophobs realize real men can be ok with homosexuality….

    A gap in his teeth, grease in his braids
    He is just a Cowboy who wants to get laid
    Not by a Cowgirl but by a Cowboy
    He wants to “make naughty” and use some sex toys,
    In reference to #40, Cowboys like it hard,
    They dont use no KY, lube or pig lard
    As I mentioned before in comment number eight,
    He likes his braids pulled, he thinks it feels great.
    He likes to fondle the knob on his saddle,
    He likes it when you give his gray flabby ass a paddle,
    Whether it is man or woman he just craves the touch,
    He cant “F” his horse cause that pony weighs too much.
