    Just for reference here are the songs and the parts featured in the skit. 1st song Mouse T - Horny (around 50 seconds in), 2nd song is Ride on Time - Black Box (around 1minute 50 seconds in), 3rd song is Gay Bar - Electric Six (the whole song)

      Fun fact: that kind of music did exist for centuries, I mean, fast and aggressive, it's just not something that you would play in a salon during conversations.
      And I also think that "gay" have got its modern connotation in like 1950s, so in the period portrayed it would mean "I want to take you to a *frivolous* bar" which still means that it's not uptight and "I have something to put in you" would be understood completely perfectly in context ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
