{{trope}}Examples of [[Have a Gay Old Time]] in [[Music]] include:
* In the Sea Shanty ''Bully in the Alley''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS5xR7jBxDw], [http://thejovialcrew.com/?page_id=975 "bully" means "drunk"]
* The ''Secret Origin'' version of the song "Hate Everyone" by [[Say Anything]].
Line 36 ⟶ 37:
{{quote|''You're a crooked jerky jockey, and you drive a crooked horse''}}
** [[Blatant Lies|Clearly]], he's talking about dried beef.
* There's an old folk song: "Ruben Ruben I've been thinking, What a queer world it would be If the men were all transported Far beyond the northern sea. Rachel Rachel I've been thinking what a gay world it would be If the girls were all transported Far beyond the northern sea." Well, yes, if they sent all the men or all the women away, [[SitchSituational Sexuality|it would be a queer/gay world]].
* "Flowers On The Wall" (1966) by the Statler Brothers featured [[Sanity Slippage Song|bleak undercurrent]] as well as lyrics that demanded revision in subsequent cover versions.

Line 94 ⟶ 95:
* [[The Kinks]]' "A Well-Respected Man" mentions that the title character "likes his fags the best". They're referring to cigarettes, of course.
** The title character from "David Watts", meanwhile, is "so gay and fancy-free". But since the next verse says that "all the girls...try their best but they can't succeed" with David, it's probably a deliberate [[Double Entendre]].
* People are still doing [https://web.archive.org/web/20130814225010/http://my-retrospace.blogspot.com/2008/08/why-i-care-about-some-velvet-morning.html analyses of Lee Hazlewood's "Some Velvet Morning"], heavy on the implications of "straight" and "gate".
* "Kentucky Gambler" by [[Merle Haggard]] (written by [[Dolly Parton]]): "Into the gay casino in Nevada's town of Reno."
* [[MF DOOM]]'s "Batty Boyz" plays with this trope by using clips from the 50's and 60's in its introduction.
