Drag Quartet Sings About Oil Disaster

By Advocate.com Editors

The Kinsey Sicks, the popular a cappella quartet that performs in drag, has released a video in which the members sing out their frustration with the Gulf Coast oil disaster. In the video for the song, titled "BP Is Creepy," the quartet also takes aim at the country's addiction to oil by singing the question "Who's got the time to regulate BP when we're willy-nilly filling up our SUVs?"

I love the Kinsey Sicks. I saw them at Sydney Mardi Gras. Amazing theatre, certainly NOT a drag show, but very sophisticated, high-brow belly laughs. I just heard that they will be in Los Angles at the Pacific Design Center Theatre on Wednesday, Oct 6. I will definitely be bringing my all my favorite people to this show, gay and straight. They are loved by all.

Normally, I do not care for drag acts but this one was really good! The singing was excellent, the lyrics and choreography were cute, and the video effects were...ah...interesting but well done. Raphael, a capella (all lower case) is the proper term for singing unaccompanied instrumentally. Sometimes, one sees the term capella used but it is not the correct term.

Advocate they are the popular Capella group not "a Capella", beyond that I think their song would have been better if they focused not on BP but who gave regulatory approval for BPs find to be exploited without proper environmental review and no plan from the platform operators for this kind of contingency. 11 men died not because of BP but a platform operator who used inexperienced workers who weren't prepared for a flame out and how to react. BP was given the rights to drill on its find, yet no one questions how much the president and vice president profited, these are two men that thought it would be okay to drill in the Alaskan Wildlife preserve and for some some reason became billionaires during their 8 years running the country. BP is at least stepping up to the plate and taking responsibility for an environmental disaster where are the other participants, the platform operator and a federal government which didn't care about the environment.
