Jonny
McGovern is best known as the Gay Pimp, the dashing
homosexual superstar behind the youtube classics
"Soccer Practice" and "Lookin' Cute, Feelin'
Cute". Mr McGovern started his career as a stand up
comic before unintentionally revolutionising gay pop music
as we know it. "Soccer Practice" is a dazzling
display of brilliance. The Gay Pimp character is a human
banner that screams "fuck you" to the multitude
of gangster rappers who perpetuate homophobia in their
lyrics. Jonny uses a medium known for its intolerance,
turns it inside out and creates a queer utopia.

Pimp
"Lookin'
Cute, Feelin' Cute" is an even bolder political
statement than “Soccer Practice”. It’s important to
hear a gay man sing lyrics like "We can't get married
but that's ok, we like to fuck too much anyway". It's
amusing but it also packs one hell of a punch. There are
enough high profile gay men promoting gay marriage, Jonny
represents the other view, which says "fuck you and
your hetero customs"! The video for “Lookin’
Cute, Feelin’ Cute” is amazing. The “Gayboy
Bunnies” and the dirty, gay breakdown are things of
legend. Moreover, he has crafted two shining pop
gems that work just as well without their hilarious
videos. This is what separates Jonny from all the other
internet "celebrities". Behind the visual
amusement lies one hell of a gifted songwriter.
