I thought the same thing when I heard that song. The singer said it is actually about a gay bar called The Abbey in West Hollywood. I didn't realize the song was already over five years old. Chappell Roan looked fairly normal in that video. Fast forward to 2025, and she has a drag queen persona.
I knew the lyrics in the song did not match the description of the Pink Pony clubs local to FL. I researched and learned the same thing sinclair wrote. Also, before I found the story of the song and while I was looking for video link, one of the links was "kidrocks" or something. I was mortified when I saw a group of young teens and pre-teens singing and dancing to, what I thought was, a strip club song. Now, I know Chapelle was all turned on and excited by the go-go dancers in a gay bar, which is still mortifying that parents and video crews would do that to children, but they can do it because it is pro-LGBTQIA+ and woke.
About the Pink Cadillac and Chappell Roan's song
Inspiration for "Pink Pony Club":
The song "Pink Pony Club" by singer-songwriter Chappell Roan was inspired by her experiences with queer joy and places of authenticity, including the now-closed strip club, Pink Cadillac.
A memorable landmark:
The Pink Cadillac strip club, located in Roan's hometown of Willard, Missouri, featured a distinctive, all-hot-pink building with neon signs, which left a strong impression on her as a child.
Symbol of queer identity:
In the song, the "Pink Pony Club" serves as a symbolic place where people can be their true selves without judgment, much like the real-life Pink Cadillac was a memorable part of the landscape of Roan's youth.
My daughters and their friends all listen to and dance around to Chappell Roan, whose songs are all about gay sex (listen to Red Wine Supernova for example), but as a parent I’m not getting too alarmed. Being LGBTQ+ friendly is just what’s popular today, and I’m not concerned that listening to the music is going to influence or indoctrinate our kids. After all, our generation listened to Queen, the Village People, and Elton John and we didn’t all turn queer. Not to mention we didn’t become devil worshippers after listening to heavy metal, like congress feared we would.
"Queen, the Village People, and Elton John" and now our society has childrens' drag queens story hour, gays and trannies in the military, a cross-dressing navy Admiral, fights about trannies in Congress using the ladies bathroom, and men in women's sports hurting and pushing out the female competitors. Clearly, it will have consequences and they are getting worse. Yes, the Trump administration is turning it around, but it is a long way from won.
