"Straight In a Gay Gay World" was the third studio album released by Australian 70's rock band, Skyhooks. The album was released in October 1976 after the band's first tour of the United States the same year. The title and songs are a sort of view the band had on their experience in the States. Like the band's first two albums, Living in the Seventies and Ego is not a Dirty Word, Straight In a Gay Gay World was produced by former Daddy Cool leader Ross Wilson.
Two singles were lifted from this album, "This Is My City" / "Somewhere In Sydney" and "Blue Jeans" / "Mumbo Jumbo", both in the year of the album's release. These peaked at #19 and #13 respectively on Australian charts."Million Dollar Riff" was released as a single in 1975 before Skyhooks toured the States and reached #2 in Australia.The album was released by Mushroom Records. It peaked at #2 on Australian charts the same year. "Mumbo Jumbo" features vocals from guitarist Red Symons, which was also an occurance on the band's two previous albums where Symons lended his vocals to a single track on each album.
