The Phillies made “Dancing on my Own” their victory song & now the gay anthem is blowing up again
@Spotify – a ‘thank you’ just doesn’t seem grateful enough but trust me, I am. ? pic.twitter.com/sCcbaBs7jp500,000,000 streams from the Philadelphia area in the past yearGreat song!
See you in Philly for the parade!As a gay man himself, Scott knows about the song’s power in the LGBTQ+ community. The lyrics are about the hardships, and eventual beauty, of taking your own path–whether on the dance floor or in life.It’s a message that resonates with LGBTQ+ folx.
Robyn says she came up with the idea while observing club-goers on tour. “I’ve been touring a lot in the last three years, and spent a lot of time in clubs just watching people, and it became impossible to not use that lyric ‘dancing on my own’, because it’s such a beautiful picture,” she said in a 2010 interview.Though Scott thanked Robyn at the start of his video, some gays wanted more for the dance pop queen.
I hope Robyn closed on the most ethereal cottage the Swedish countryside has ever seen this year. https://t.co/7hsfPeKNxoso fucking disgusting https://t.co/DwJlxYTGVT pic.twitter.com/WJ2Koi4vnlWho knew Robyn stans were so vicious?!?this has radicalized me https://t.co/cCLfeUe1jzIn the comments, Scott also thanked the Phillies.
