Oct 16, 2008 - newsflash : the word "gay" might also mean "happy" or something alike.. used more before than nowadays tho:p and this is an old song so..

Oct 23, 2008 - A wonderful performance! Even the guitarist strumming out of step doesn't manage to ruin it. Thanks for posting!

Nov 18, 2008 - Really bugged me, noticed it more when I read this lol.Good performance tho.

Nov 23, 2008 - There is nothing wrong with his strumming. Harry is holding way back on the beat, that's all. It's also very heavily syncopated.

Nov 27, 2008 - I grew up in 60s/70s Los Angeles hearing this song. I had no idea Harry B was such a dish! Funnily enough, as a child I assumed the song was about his daughter. It was only upon hearing it many years later, as an adult, I thought it might be about a lover. Glad to see the original [?] video, but does it answer the question?

Dec 4, 2008 - Message to dragonxlove: You poor pathetic baby. You got scared when you heard Harry sing "...when the nights are gay" without first troubling yourself to discern the meaning of "gay". Well sweetheart, if a three letter word is going to scare you maybe you should dig a hole and bury yourself because life is filled with a multitude of much scarier things than that big three letter word "gay".
