Talk:1922 in music

Untitled

Isn't "My Word You Do Look Queer" (bisexual) a fake song? A song in 1922 couldn't be called like that because it would have been too controversial! It sounds more like the name of a Bloodhound Gang song! I think it's fake! --62.47.45.153 10:07, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Wrong meaning of queer. In this case it means "odd" not "fag". See here. Mak (talk) 10:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

and besides, there are songs about homosexuality, cross-dressing, female impersonators, male wives, etc. from this period and earlier. You can find some of them online in the U of California songs of California sheet music library. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 03:16, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind songs with racial slurs also from this period. It's part of history, which we do not re-write! Tillywilly17 (talk) 05:38, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
