comment |
"MONTERO (Call Me by Your Name)" is a 2021 song by rapper Lil Nas X, and the first single from his debut album MONTERO.The song, along with the music video was released to much controversy as the video depicted a lot of religious imagery, including Lil Nas X descending down to Hell on a huge stripper pole. Despite the outrage from conservative pundits (which of course, led to more attention to the song), the song would be Lil Nas X's second number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and went on to be certified platinum. The music video for the song won 3 MTV Video Music Awards, including Video of the Year. |

The Beard: Not only is the romantic subject in the song closeted, but he appears to also have a girlfriend. Lil Nas X doesn't seem to mind, as he states in the lyric "If Eve ain't in your garden, you know that you can..." |

Satanic Panic: Reignited this in reactionary conservative media with the music, which features him descending into hell and allowing himself to be free in the vices he's been consumed in. It also invoked a Gay Panic as said vices being addressed have to do with flamboyant sexual expression. |

Then Let Me Be Evil: The video ends with him willingly going to Hell on a stripper pole, giving Satan a lapdance, then killing him and taking his crown. The entire video serves as a Take That! to conservative Christian homophobia. If he's going to Hell, he might as well do it as fabulously as possible and take over in the bargain. |

comment |
Take That, Critics!: The music video is basically one big middle finger to the conservative Christian notion that gay folks go to Hell, as he had recently came out as gay at the time of production and predictably got quite a bit of heat for it. He goes to Hell all right...and takes over the place. |
