Subject: RE: Historical gay/lesbian/bisexual songs?
Some people have put forward the idea that Cockney Music Hall singer Harry Champion's song "Any Old Iron" was about Gays/Sads/Queers/Poofs or whatever word you use. "Iron" being rhyming slang for Poof (Iron Hoof).Apparently too green ties were at the time were a symbol of sexual orientation. I can't remember where I read the article but it seemd to be quite convincing.

Has anybody so far mentined the old song where it starts out "Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do" and finishes "But you'd look sweet upon the seat of a bisexual built for two"?
