VID REC: Stargate: Atlantis - If I Were Gay

Vidder: Ma'hal
Musical artist: Stephen Lynch
Pairing: Sheppard/McKay, Sheppard/OFC

Why this vid kicks ass: This song has become an anthem of sorts for slash vidders, but this is still my favourite rendition of it. We get a reluctant John Sheppard trying to explain to Rodney McKay (despite lingering looks and superb hair) that he's not gay, and he'll prove it! Look at him kiss all those women! And yet, he keeps coming back to a particular Canadian astrophysicist.

If you've never heard the song, listen just for that because the line endings are ... perfect. So much leading the listener, playing with language - it's brilliant. My personal favourite moment is Sheppard's very neatly timed, "I do." Watch - you'll see what I mean.
