Honey, it’s Pride. And what better way to celebrate than all your favourite queer icons in an absolute banger of a song “Gay HBO Max Song” created by drag superstar, pop culture icon, and DJ Trixie Mattel.
Get down to the dulcet tones of The White Lotus‘ Tanya McQuoid’s (Jennifer Coolidge) iconic-yet-ominous line from Season 2: “Please… these gays…they’re trying to murder me!”
Pour one out for poor old Lexi Featherston (Kristen Johnston) who experienced a fall from grace (sorry) in an aptly named “Splat!” episode of Sex and the City from 2004. “No one’s fun anymore!” she yelled. “I’m so bored I could die!” she declared before falling out of an 18th-storey apartment window.
There’s even a Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham) from Girls cameo with her “fruity little voice” comment to Elijah (Andrew Rannells) in Season 1, episode 3, on repeat for maximum dramatic impact.
The pop culture fiends among us will spot iconic quotes from shows like Euphoria (when Sydney Sweeney’s Cassie had “never ever been happier” in Season 2), Succession, The Comeback, and The White Lotus Season 3, to name a few.
“Look, as gay people we live and breathe pop culture,” says Mattel in a press release. “So making this track using timeless clips from some of TV’s most iconic moments felt like the perfect way to celebrate PRIDE. This is a gay person’s brain on HBO Max. Now go put on a blonde wig, click play, and dance.”
