Oh lord it's here. Remember the Drag Race Season Four Reunion? When Willam dropped the big bombshell "Rupaulogize"? Well it's back. Bordering in on the line of dead meme territory, Willam has brought back her fan favorite phrase from near death in a new form -- song. And video, of course.
Oh, Willam. You never cease to amuse me. Willam is always bringing her personal bizznass into her music. First we gotta hear about how she's trouble getting kicked off Drag Race, then we gotta hear about how she only did it for some big schlong. Now? She's still pissed she didn't get on Drag Race All Stars. To be fair, wouldn't you be, too?
Willam has been good about balancing parody tracks with original material. This particular song, a parody of OneRepublic's annoyingly catchy "Apologize", opts for the laughs over the dancablitiy. The great thing is that although it is campy and awkward (I mean she does jokingly call out Ru on a few occasions), it still manages to be fun. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there is no nice way to say it. If you don't think Willam is funny you are dumb.
As per usual Willam fashion, "Rupaulogize" has a video to go along with it. The whole thing takes place in a roller rink, with two sexy guys tagging along (anyone else digging the guy with the 70s hair?). The whole thing feels like an odd take on "Public Affair" by Jessica Simpson, which would be hilarious if this was on purpose due to her take on Jessica in Season Four's Snatch Game.
A special treat for the fans in this video features yet another Drag Race star. Playing the role of Ru mid-way through the video is season four winner Sharon Needles. She says many of Ru's catchphrases, which there are plenty to choose from, and spends most of her time looking stunning. Also in the video in less noticeable out-of-drag cameos are Season Five's top three Alaska and Season Three winner Raja. They are credited as "Roller Trash". Damn.
The track is up on iTunes, obviously. Check it out. It'll go nicely with Chow Down which is already on your iTunes Library.
