D'OH!! How could I forget that! (It was set to the tune of "Winter Wonderland," as I recall).

I still vote for Tom to do his musical rendition.

My favorite thing about that parody is how dated the references are. Thanks, Matt, but I posted those lyrics so some of us could see the difference between "gay" and "transvestite"

SING-ALONG THURSDAY has moved in a completely NEW direction, however! Keep watching Facebook!

I think it will be The Question in the New 52.

My reasons are...

-He hasn't appeared in the New 52 yet, only in the Free Comic Book Day preview of next summer's 'Trinity War'.

-He is just iconic enough. At least recognizable.

-Plays a key role in the storyline that will build into 'Trinity War'.

-Was supposedly Alexander the Great (who was supposedly gay) in another life before being made one of the 'Trinity of Sin' with Phantom Stranger and Pandora.

-The last incarnation of The Question was gay, Renee Montoya. So it wouldn't be too much of a stretch.

Frankly, I think it would be a bold move to make DC's hard-boiled detective character gay. No colorful uniform just a suit, fedora, overcoat, and a mask. T'would be a praise-worthy choice in my humble O.

I wonder what Steve Ditko would think of that?

I'm not sure, but Ive heard that Ditko is one of a handful of artists that
Marvel has been rumored to have transformed into an Asian
homosexual to reach a broader audience.

If you ask yourself which is most entertaining.

Panel 1: Splash page, a super-hero comes flying across the page.

Panel 1: Splash page, a gay super-hero comes flying across the page.

Oh that became so much more entertaining all of a sudden. Or not.
