"Glee" tackles the highly controversial issue (at least in Walnut Creek) of high school carwash fundraisers–with girls donning bikini tops!

The fictional McKinley High Glee Club of our new fave TV show, Glee, tries to raise big bucks to hire a professional choreographer to help them make their song-and-dance routines more polished. So, how do these Glee kids go about raising money? They turn to the classic carwash fundraiser (as pictured above!). And, like some carwash kids raising money recently for a certain local high school’s cheerleading squad, the cheerleader members of the McKinley High Glee Club decide to strip off their shirts and don bikini tops. You know, to keep things cool on a hot, hot day.

Thing get fun when this event turns into another excuse for one of Glee‘s quirkily conceived but utterly delightful–and kinda sexy–musical numbers (Again, pictured above). Mercedes, the girl with the Aretha Franklin pipes (played by Amber Riley), feels rejected when the object of her affections, Kurt, proclaims–falsely, ’cause he’s gay–that he has a crush on another girl. She hurls a rock into the windshield of his SUV, then busts out a dream-sequence rendition of Jazmine Sullivan’s “Bust Your Windows” in the middle of the parking lot. Her song of anger and rejection is accompanied by back-up dancers in the form of cheerleaders in bikini tops and little skirts.
Go Glee! And check out the number yourself here.

  1. Speedos? Yuck! My husband swims with the WC Masters Swim Team, and I try to avoid watching the team practices and meets. Two reasons: I find it boring to watch people swimming, and I am grossed out by the sight of men in Speedos. I know that I'm not alone on this.

  2. Men in Speedos? It depends, don't you think? Olympic swim dudes in Speedos, though they wear those longer, full-leg-length form-fitting suits, right?

    What about the famous scene from the “X-files”? Remember that show. I definitely went through my X-files phase and had a crush on David Duchovny, and it was with great delight how, in one episode, he emerged from a swimming pool in a red Speedo.
