Songs for a small-town Pride parade in the pissing rain

Music

We’re having a little Pride parade in my new hometown today in the pissing rain and I’m in charge of music amongst other things. It’s a small place so the actual parade through town is scheduled in for about 30 mins.

I want your input on the playlist please!

I’ve obviously already got Queen (We will rock you, Don’t stop me now, Champions, Break free), George Michael (Faith, Freedom), Gloria Gaynor (Raining men, I am what I am), and songs like Born this way, I’m Coming Out, Hot To Go, Gimme Gimme Gimme, We Are Family, YMCA.

What else would you have on this list?

(I have more than enough for 30 min but want it to be the BEST and also if there are delays etc.)

(Also the small town bit is obvs relevant to what kinds of songs we go with.)

Let’s hear it!

Do you think fuck the pain away by peaches would work wherein the DJ encourages people to shout rain over pain?

Is this a terrible idea?

Kinda feel like it’s not quite anthemy enough, or the right kind of anthemy, for this?

I only discovered this song last night and doubt others will know if but still feel like it would be pretty funny to play this in a very rainy pride parade

I don’t know how we’re gonna break this news to the kids.
