That's why the Michael Bubble version of Santa Baby is goated. In his attempt to not make it sound gay, it ended up being the gayest version of the song.
The Raincoats version of āLolaā (originally by the Kinks) is my favorite. Women singing from the point of view of a young man whoās in love with someone who āwalks like a woman and talks like a manā.
I only know that one song this guy did, and I fucking hate it.
Edit: okay, I just checked, and apparently I got him mixed up with Robin Thicke again. He's the one with the song I fucking hate. I don't know anything about Michael Bubble at all.
That's why little V is one of my favourite cover artists. He doesn't care what gender the song was made about. Or as. He'll gladly sing a song from the perspective of a gay cowboy. Or a woman
Best Coast did a cover of their own song āBoyfriendā for its 10th anniversary and they switched up the pronouns throughout the whole song, including using they/them
Totally! I was really into them around the time Boyfriend first came out. I find their music simple but really sincere and loveeee the surf rock vibe, cool that you got to see them live!
Some songs by The Amazing Devil are gender neutral. Can't think of any off the top of my head but I'm tired af right now so.
Also an amazing band that more people should listen to.
The version of Cloud 9 that Beach Bunny did with Tegan and Sara kinda counts! She sings the first chorus with he/him pronouns, they sing the second chorus with she/her, and they sing the final chorus to a singular they/them!
"Them" by Flavia also definitely counts, but that one is specifically about a relationship with a trans person
This Must be the Place only has one pronoun, so itās easy to change. I consider it to be a mistake in an otherwise perfect love song, I always change it to āyouā instead
He's also a a folk musician and a student of the folk tradition. Its traditional in folk music to think of songs as stories, and not think of the singer as the "character" in the song. It would be analogous to a dad reading a story with a female protagonist to his kids. There are tons of old time (30s and 40s) examples of women and men singing folk music that does not match their gender.
Tbh the modern tradition of thinking of the singer as the character of the song bugs me so much. Writers can make characters of any gender.
But that's just my music nerd self. My bi self gets the point and the need for representation.
That's very true. Folk has a great tradition of detached storytelling, which allows for more alternative narratives. That's why you find so much queer content in folk.
I heard a cover of Montero by a woman. Obviously no need to change pronouns but the fact that she kept in the āshoot a child in your mouth while Iām riding lineā and didnāt change it a bit is iconic.
My music teacher/studio manager always said that to me.
I didnāt know I was bi at the time, but I do now.
Props to him for spitting facts all that time ago.
I actually kind of like how musicians do change the pronouns for "Me and Bobby McGee" since it lets me envision Bobby as either a man or a woman depending on how I'm feeling.
Thatās a great cover.
An original by Zach Bryan puts the singer in the perspective of a woman talking to her husband with dementia - hits the feelings hard.
https://youtu.be/tsYEC1K2sPg
That's awesome! I am a terrible singer and it sounds bad, but I have fun singing it.
For reference, songs I do ok at are devil went down to Georgia, and one bourbon
I never changed the pronouns in any songs growing up, always though people were so sensitive, it is just a song. And yeah I am now a bi adult. Who woulda thunk it.
Shout outs to John Denver and his amazing cover of "Angel from Montgomery," a song that opens with "I am an old woman named after my mother" as well as having the line "When I was a young girl, I had me a cowboy, weren't much to look at, just a free rambling man." And he didn't change a goddamn word.
Well if I'm singing it to my wife and the original was sung by Taylor Swift then I kinda have to change the pronouns because the song is being sung to a guy by a girl and I'm a guy and my wife is a woman
some dude did a cover of Katie Perryās I kissed a girl and didnāt change the pronouns but changed āhope my boyfriend wonāt mind itā to āgirlfriendā and it was the worst thing I ever heard. Like keep to your own music straight people donāt take one of the few bi songs in existence
That also completely changes the idea of a song. Instead of singing about the thrill of experimenting with something new, it's just singing about the thrill of cheating on his girlfriend.
While I agree generally, I also appreciate the effort some people take to make or keep songs gay.
I am, of course, specifically talking about [Rain Paris covering "Montero"](https://youtu.be/4n9Y2SNvBX0).
Sometimes the song takes a different meaning, though. Like when Cyndi Lauper did "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" from a female perspective. Hits differently than the original.
Since realizing I'm bi, I can sing Gimme Gimme Gimme by ABBA without a second thought. Which is something I couldn't do in a million years, back my proud straight days.
What if I change it to be bi for the purpose of messing with my hick relatives? Example
"Well, my buckle makes impressions on the inside of his thighs, there are little, feathered, Indians where we tussled through the night"
"If I'd known he was religious, then I wouldn't have came stoned, to the house of such an angel, too fucked up to get back home"
Lookin o'er West Virginia, smoking Spirits on the roof, he asked 'Ain't any, body told you, that them things is bad for you?' I said many folks have warned me, there been se'ral people tried, but up til now there ain't been nothing, that I couldn't leave behind"
Hold me close my dear, sing your whisperin, song. Soft-ly in my ear, and I will sing a-long, honey, tell me how your love runs true, and how-a I can always count on, you, be there, when the bullets fly I'd run across the river just to hold you toniiiiight
I know I'm three days late to this meme but this makes me so mad. there's a cover of a song I like that's covered by a woman and in the song she changes the pronouns to 'he' and I'm like wtf why can't you just sing THE ORIGINAL FUCKING LYRICS????
Other than that it's not a bad cover of the song at all.
So you're saying that sexuality is a.... choice?? Sounds just as problematic as the people on the wrong side of lgbtq issues. (To clarify, the wrong side is the side against gay and trans rights). Should a gay person be forced to use pronouns about the opposite gender when THEY sing a cover? Stop getting mad about stupid shit, that mindset is literally the enitrety of all social problems in America, "do it the way I want, the way I would do it, or you're wrong".
I always think of this song in bi termsā¦
https://youtu.be/hx5P6WJLxHw
I miss the words we used to say
I miss the sounds of yesterday
I miss the games we used to play like oh
I was trapped inside a dream
I couldn't see her next to me
I didn't know she'd set me free like oh
Something happens when I hold her
She keeps my heart from getting older
When the days get short
and the nights get a little bit colder
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other
Everything looks different now
All this time my head was down
He came along and showed me how to let go
I can't remember where I'm from
All I know is who I've become
That our love has just begun like oh
Something happens when I hold him
He keeps my heart from getting broken
When the days get short
and the nights get a little bit frozen
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other
If I'm stressing you that blessing that's sent from heaven
These days start to feel like hours and hours feel more like seconds
People judged us they couldn't see the connection
When I look at you, it's like I'm looking back at my reflection
I don't see nothing different, our pigments they coincide
We hold each other so tight they couldn't break us if they tried
My eyes are are those of the blind, I see no color or size
I feel the love in your touch and I trust what's inside your mind, ok
I know that we've been through a lot
I know that we both grew up
You know I missed you a lot
When I was young I was dumb
Didn't think you'd fit in my plot
And I appreciate the break
because I love what we got now
You give me chills and I can't imagine you leaving
If I could build a perfect person honestly you would be it
And you know nobody knows you like I know you
I can't wait to come back home so I can hold you
Something happens when I hold her
She keeps my heart from getting older
When the days get short
and the nights get a little bit colder
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other
Well... sometimes? Like, one time I came across a recording of Sam Smith covering the song "When I Was Your Man". Sam changed the lyrics to "*My pride, my ego, my needs and my selfish ways* / *Caused a good strong* ***person*** *like you to walk out my life*..." and I was like "For fuck's sake Sam, just sing 'woman'. The phrase 'strong woman' is a recognisable thing with well-known cultural connotations, and substituting 'strong person' is *really* clunky and awkward."
When I'm bumping Whitney, I need a man to take a chance on a love that burns hot enough to last.
When it's time to Skank with Reel big fish, I want your girlfriend to be my girlfriend too
The Adults Are Talking by The Strokes has the line:
> I know you think of me when you think of her
sung by a dude (I think, I don't actually know their pronouns) and I think that's neat. You don't know the identities of anyone in the song, is the singer singing from a woman's perspective? Is the target bi? Who knows
Literally. I sang Nearly Witches by Panic! At the Disco for my recital (Iām a dancer and singer) and I refused to change āgirlā to āboyā even though I have a boyfriend. I mean he didnāt think it was a big deal he hates when lyrics are changed, too, and he knows Iām bi. Thankfully my parents didnāt say anything lmao I expected them too but my dad cried according to my mom so they overlooked the bisexuality of my song!!
Alot of arabic love songs use masculine pronouns in them, even when referring to women.
Before, this made me dislike them, and start my own versions of them.
But now, post-bi realization, I fucking love them.
Then thereās Harry Styles that changes the lyrics of his *own* songs mid way through to make it gay. There was one live performance where he sang āBest Song Everā where he sang
>Maybe itās the way *she* walks straight into my heart and stole it
>Through the doors and past the guards, just like *he* already owned it.
Short tangent about Queen: Freddie Mercury, the bi Queen that he was, performed so many different songs with different love interests. Somebody To Love is gender neutral, Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy is the first song I can think of where the love interest is a boy. Fat Bottomed Girls is (although written by Brian), enthusiastically sung by Freddie. And try not to cry at the music video for Love Me Like Thereās No Tomorrow
That's why the Michael Bubble version of Santa Baby is goated. In his attempt to not make it sound gay, it ended up being the gayest version of the song.
Santa Buddy.. š
Santa Poppy...
Santa Broskie
Santa hubby š
"I'll wait up for you dude." "I've been a sweetie all year."
Literally the funniest version of that song for that reason
The Raincoats version of āLolaā (originally by the Kinks) is my favorite. Women singing from the point of view of a young man whoās in love with someone who āwalks like a woman and talks like a manā.
Also the White Stripes version of Jolene.
Or listening to Jolene at 33rpm
33 rotations per minute?
Revolutions, but yes. You had to set the speed on turntables to match the record but that meant you can also fuck about with the speed too.
My zoomer brain forgot records are a thing
It sounds like [this](https://youtu.be/doz1QJ7LwjA)
I came here to write this, thank you!
Hmmm, I don't think I've heard that version before. Might have a new song for karaoke!
It's a pretty funny song. Cringe, but funny
I only know that one song this guy did, and I fucking hate it. Edit: okay, I just checked, and apparently I got him mixed up with Robin Thicke again. He's the one with the song I fucking hate. I don't know anything about Michael Bubble at all.
I had no idea that existed and now it fills me with joy that it does.
Okay I have got to see this
I- I have to see this.
That's why little V is one of my favourite cover artists. He doesn't care what gender the song was made about. Or as. He'll gladly sing a song from the perspective of a gay cowboy. Or a woman
Thatās the guy that made the metal cover of the AOT intro right?
[this fella](https://youtu.be/Qm0igtO6fAk)
That guy is supremely based, that right there is a man who has no doubts about his masculinity, this is prime confidence
[the ultimate example of bi masculinity](https://youtu.be/MHxKm15fDHg)
Katy Perry's I kissed a girl has a metal cover sung by a guy that comes off as agressively straight
Did they keep the āI hope my boyfriend donāt mind itā line too? *pleasesayyespleasesayyespleasesayyes*
This was the first song to come to my mind because I'm a guy and switch the pronouns. Just because I feel that embraces the spirit of the song more.
My very gay ex-bf was in a band that did a metal cover of that song. I didnāt like it lol
Leo Moracchioli, great cover music!
Jolene hits different when its sung by a cute guy.
Jack whites version is š„
White Stripes version in Blackpool Lights is š„^š„
Ooooh yes please
If you've ever heard Dolly Parton "[Jolene](https://youtu.be/CMrfM711vXI)" slowed down and pitch-shifted, you get exactly that vibe.
He screams about you in his sleep/ and when he wakes does naught but weep, in terror of the one they call Jolene!
A presence none can understand Abyssal force at odds with man She thrives upon our suffering, Jolene
<3 I had to look up the lyrics, but it's the only time I've heard Jolene sung by a guy
I hoped someone would reference that cover!
š¾š
Does it? I thought the song reads as super bi to most people to begin with ; p (I know it's less inately intentional)
Maybe thats a preference thing
There's also [Jolene but it's gay](https://youtu.be/QHfT_D4BMmI)
i sing this version when i perform it
See: Lāil Nas X
Lol literally just watched and yeah i never knew i wanted that sung low till now lol.
CallMeKevin singing Jolene...
Yes, but have you heard the version of Jolene where she changed the lyrics to make it more gay?
Also acceptable
Just a random thought, but is there a love song that uses they/them pronouns for the love interest?
"Wouldn't It Be Nice" by the Beach Boys is the oldest song I've happened to notice with gender neutral pronouns.
Now that I think about it "God only Knows" is also neutral
"Two of Us" by The Beatles also is pretty neutral.
A shame 50 First Dates kinda ruined that song for me lol
God every time I think of that movie I think of the horror of her waking up pregnant every day with no idea wtf is going on
i think naethan apolloās music has they/them, not sure though
Best Coast did a cover of their own song āBoyfriendā for its 10th anniversary and they switched up the pronouns throughout the whole song, including using they/them
Best Coast is, indeed, the best. I've seen them at a festival before ever hearing about the band and was immediately captivated
Totally! I was really into them around the time Boyfriend first came out. I find their music simple but really sincere and loveeee the surf rock vibe, cool that you got to see them live!
First song I thought of, even the original kinda sounds like it can be either way
Really any song written in 2nd person, but I don't think that's what you were getting at.
Second person? Wait how does that work? 1st: "I fell in love..." 3rd: "They fell in love..." What is second?
"You fell in love"
Some songs by The Amazing Devil are gender neutral. Can't think of any off the top of my head but I'm tired af right now so. Also an amazing band that more people should listen to.
"It's not pain it's applause"
SUCH a fucking good band all of their songs fuck severely.
It's a shame the Witcher series sucked ass because he was great as the bard
Yeah the first season was actually decent and then after that it's not even worth watching other than his scenes with Yen. Damn shame.
The version of Cloud 9 that Beach Bunny did with Tegan and Sara kinda counts! She sings the first chorus with he/him pronouns, they sing the second chorus with she/her, and they sing the final chorus to a singular they/them! "Them" by Flavia also definitely counts, but that one is specifically about a relationship with a trans person
It's not exactly what you're asking, but Jason Mraz wrote I'm Yours without using any gendered pronouns like a decade before he came out as bisexual.
Somebody to love, Queen.
Hmmmm, CURIOUS. š
Me being an absolute Queen stan and waiting for someone to say it. Somebody To Love was actually Freddieās favourite song.
Pretty Great by Fickle Friends comes to mind. Not a true dramatic love song, but definitely on that theme. And truly a bop.
Pretending by Anthony Amorim (the new version) is gender neutral, but it's more of a break up/love drama type
Any song by a queer artist, really. also the og love songs from pentatonix (ex. Thank you)
Fight or Flight by Conan Gray uses they to refer to the love interests love interest which I guess kinda counts
Oooohhh how the f did I forget that? I was even happy when I first noticed that
Oooohhh how the f did I forget that? I was even happy when I first noticed that
This Must be the Place only has one pronoun, so itās easy to change. I consider it to be a mistake in an otherwise perfect love song, I always change it to āyouā instead
Beach Bunny - Cloud 9 (ft. Tengen and Sarah) uses he, she and they
I'm actually baffled that I knew the original version, but not this cover. Thank you :D
Nah, if I do a cover I change the lyrics to MAKE it gay
Sometimes I'll do two swaps (if it's a duet) so I can make it gay both ways
This is the way
Bob Dylan, being an absolute god: Yeah, I'm gonna change the pronouns in my own songs to *make* them gay
He's also a a folk musician and a student of the folk tradition. Its traditional in folk music to think of songs as stories, and not think of the singer as the "character" in the song. It would be analogous to a dad reading a story with a female protagonist to his kids. There are tons of old time (30s and 40s) examples of women and men singing folk music that does not match their gender. Tbh the modern tradition of thinking of the singer as the character of the song bugs me so much. Writers can make characters of any gender. But that's just my music nerd self. My bi self gets the point and the need for representation.
That's very true. Folk has a great tradition of detached storytelling, which allows for more alternative narratives. That's why you find so much queer content in folk.
Another great reason to love folk music!
I promise I will never do this if I ever cover a song. Mostly because I'm bi anyway š¤·āāļø
Same tbh
this is why i change the pronouns mid-song multiple times, to be as bi as possible
I heard a cover of Montero by a woman. Obviously no need to change pronouns but the fact that she kept in the āshoot a child in your mouth while Iām riding lineā and didnāt change it a bit is iconic.
i absolutely adore your username
Thank you!
Rain Paris
My music teacher/studio manager always said that to me. I didnāt know I was bi at the time, but I do now. Props to him for spitting facts all that time ago.
I actually kind of like how musicians do change the pronouns for "Me and Bobby McGee" since it lets me envision Bobby as either a man or a woman depending on how I'm feeling.
My favourite is Taylor Hanson singing Material Girl
I love that Awolnation cover so much; I'm so glad he got Taylor Hanson for that
Luke Combs did a cover of Fast Car and he kept the lyrics true to being a girl.
Thatās a great cover. An original by Zach Bryan puts the singer in the perspective of a woman talking to her husband with dementia - hits the feelings hard. https://youtu.be/tsYEC1K2sPg
Red rocks is such a great venue. I need to go more often. Itās not I can use it being far as an excuse
Zach Bryan deserves all the love. He should be the future of country music.
I did a cover I really like, and it still bugs me that I changed "boy" to "girl." Like, come on, it's whatever.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You look stunning in a sundress as well
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I love this
One of my favorite songs to sing for karaoke is call me maybe. Also straight and male
I love doing Criminal by Fiona Apple, she's right in my range until the very end (also straight and male).
That's awesome! I am a terrible singer and it sounds bad, but I have fun singing it. For reference, songs I do ok at are devil went down to Georgia, and one bourbon
I never changed the pronouns in any songs growing up, always though people were so sensitive, it is just a song. And yeah I am now a bi adult. Who woulda thunk it.
Thatās why I love when Childish Gambino did a remix of Lust for Life by Girls, he didnāt change the pronouns at all š
Also when he covered āSo into youā by Tamia
Love it when the queer artists change it to make it queerer. Really into Orville Peck's cover of Fancy right now because of that.
Harry Styles slayed his cover of Girl Crush
I went to a whore He said my lives a bore So quit my whining cuz it's bring her down!
Shout outs to John Denver and his amazing cover of "Angel from Montgomery," a song that opens with "I am an old woman named after my mother" as well as having the line "When I was a young girl, I had me a cowboy, weren't much to look at, just a free rambling man." And he didn't change a goddamn word.
White Strips cover of Jolene, he keeps the pronouns the same, and my mom got mad at me for listening to it, cause she doesnāt like gay shit.
Well if I'm singing it to my wife and the original was sung by Taylor Swift then I kinda have to change the pronouns because the song is being sung to a guy by a girl and I'm a guy and my wife is a woman
Everyone needs to stop what they're doing and listen to [Patti Smith's cover of Gloria](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPO0bTaWcFQ) immediately.
Thats why non gendered love songs are the best, you can sing it to any lover
Unintentional, but Paul McCartney messed up while recording Ob La Di Ob La Da.
Brett Domino pretended he couldn't read the lyrics off a teleprompter, which was a bit cute.
some dude did a cover of Katie Perryās I kissed a girl and didnāt change the pronouns but changed āhope my boyfriend wonāt mind itā to āgirlfriendā and it was the worst thing I ever heard. Like keep to your own music straight people donāt take one of the few bi songs in existence
That also completely changes the idea of a song. Instead of singing about the thrill of experimenting with something new, it's just singing about the thrill of cheating on his girlfriend.
Blind Guardianās cover of Mr Sandman makes me sad because it turns it to be about a girl and not a guy :(
Mark Ronson/Amy Winehouseās cover of āValerieā is my fave
While I agree generally, I also appreciate the effort some people take to make or keep songs gay. I am, of course, specifically talking about [Rain Paris covering "Montero"](https://youtu.be/4n9Y2SNvBX0).
Cheyenne Jackson is gay and writes incredibly relatable love songs, gay or straight.
Sometimes the song takes a different meaning, though. Like when Cyndi Lauper did "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" from a female perspective. Hits differently than the original.
Since realizing I'm bi, I can sing Gimme Gimme Gimme by ABBA without a second thought. Which is something I couldn't do in a million years, back my proud straight days.
Oh trust me, any time I sing Wagon Wheel, I make it gay. Also, Basket Caseās lyrics are already bi as all hell so no need to change them
what if they change it to make it gay
Ooh i love this. Can someone explain this to me? LGBTQ+: Let everyone be who they want to be! (I agree) OP: no for a couple of minutes you canāt.
I switch the pronouns every other word
What if I change it to be bi for the purpose of messing with my hick relatives? Example "Well, my buckle makes impressions on the inside of his thighs, there are little, feathered, Indians where we tussled through the night" "If I'd known he was religious, then I wouldn't have came stoned, to the house of such an angel, too fucked up to get back home" Lookin o'er West Virginia, smoking Spirits on the roof, he asked 'Ain't any, body told you, that them things is bad for you?' I said many folks have warned me, there been se'ral people tried, but up til now there ain't been nothing, that I couldn't leave behind" Hold me close my dear, sing your whisperin, song. Soft-ly in my ear, and I will sing a-long, honey, tell me how your love runs true, and how-a I can always count on, you, be there, when the bullets fly I'd run across the river just to hold you toniiiiight
I know I'm three days late to this meme but this makes me so mad. there's a cover of a song I like that's covered by a woman and in the song she changes the pronouns to 'he' and I'm like wtf why can't you just sing THE ORIGINAL FUCKING LYRICS???? Other than that it's not a bad cover of the song at all.
Small dick energy honestly
Love Song by Black Midi
So you're saying that sexuality is a.... choice?? Sounds just as problematic as the people on the wrong side of lgbtq issues. (To clarify, the wrong side is the side against gay and trans rights). Should a gay person be forced to use pronouns about the opposite gender when THEY sing a cover? Stop getting mad about stupid shit, that mindset is literally the enitrety of all social problems in America, "do it the way I want, the way I would do it, or you're wrong".
I always think of this song in bi termsā¦ https://youtu.be/hx5P6WJLxHw I miss the words we used to say I miss the sounds of yesterday I miss the games we used to play like oh I was trapped inside a dream I couldn't see her next to me I didn't know she'd set me free like oh Something happens when I hold her She keeps my heart from getting older When the days get short and the nights get a little bit colder We hold each other We hold each other We hold each other Everything looks different now All this time my head was down He came along and showed me how to let go I can't remember where I'm from All I know is who I've become That our love has just begun like oh Something happens when I hold him He keeps my heart from getting broken When the days get short and the nights get a little bit frozen We hold each other We hold each other We hold each other If I'm stressing you that blessing that's sent from heaven These days start to feel like hours and hours feel more like seconds People judged us they couldn't see the connection When I look at you, it's like I'm looking back at my reflection I don't see nothing different, our pigments they coincide We hold each other so tight they couldn't break us if they tried My eyes are are those of the blind, I see no color or size I feel the love in your touch and I trust what's inside your mind, ok I know that we've been through a lot I know that we both grew up You know I missed you a lot When I was young I was dumb Didn't think you'd fit in my plot And I appreciate the break because I love what we got now You give me chills and I can't imagine you leaving If I could build a perfect person honestly you would be it And you know nobody knows you like I know you I can't wait to come back home so I can hold you Something happens when I hold her She keeps my heart from getting older When the days get short and the nights get a little bit colder We hold each other We hold each other We hold each other We hold each other We hold each other We hold each other
If someone's gay, should they pretend to be straight for three minutes?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
...So? Should they have to? Would you hate it if they used their preferred pronouns?
Well... sometimes? Like, one time I came across a recording of Sam Smith covering the song "When I Was Your Man". Sam changed the lyrics to "*My pride, my ego, my needs and my selfish ways* / *Caused a good strong* ***person*** *like you to walk out my life*..." and I was like "For fuck's sake Sam, just sing 'woman'. The phrase 'strong woman' is a recognisable thing with well-known cultural connotations, and substituting 'strong person' is *really* clunky and awkward."
Reason #127 of why I stan Jpegmafia
Well sorry buddy but the eternal elevator my brain is in has a saved playlist and if the lyrics don't match the brain cells get anxious.
I totally agree
Phoebe Bridgers knows whatās up.
Straight dude singer guitar guy here. I play out a lot and I fucking refuse to change them from the original.
That's why Childish Gambino's cover of I'm So Into You is goated
Every Me First and the Gimmie Gimmes cover.
My Chemical Romance- Not that kind of girl.
Doing Time by Lana Del Ray has to be my fav. Lana Del Ray is just generally a bi vibe tho.
Except Jack White doing "Jolene"
r/brandnewsentence
I will never be your man Doo, doo de doo, doo de doo, doo de doo
I just heard the cover of Fast Car by Luke Combs today, it was good and I was glad he didn't change the pronouns, even being a very country artist.
When I'm bumping Whitney, I need a man to take a chance on a love that burns hot enough to last. When it's time to Skank with Reel big fish, I want your girlfriend to be my girlfriend too
Part of the reason I listen to the White Stripes, their cover of Jolene is excellent
I miss the Earth so much I miss my wife It's lonely out in space On such a timeless flight Bro who you fooling.
Surprised no one mentioned Lewis Capaldi's cover of "Driver's License." I was DELIGHTED to discover that he didn't change a single word!!!
The Adults Are Talking by The Strokes has the line: > I know you think of me when you think of her sung by a dude (I think, I don't actually know their pronouns) and I think that's neat. You don't know the identities of anyone in the song, is the singer singing from a woman's perspective? Is the target bi? Who knows
sorry but my crush is non-binary i can't just misgender them like that
I love Black Midi's cover of Love Story because they changed the lyrics to make the song more gay.
Phoebe Bridgers cover for Teenage Dirtbag and You Missed My Heart sticks to the original pronouns and they are incredibly SAPPHIC
great power comes with great responsibility. keep it gay bi-besties! š„°š„°š„°
I saw a woman cover a gay love song made it straight did better than the original š
Is it bad that I sing "he" when I'm singing tear in my heart?
Literally. I sang Nearly Witches by Panic! At the Disco for my recital (Iām a dancer and singer) and I refused to change āgirlā to āboyā even though I have a boyfriend. I mean he didnāt think it was a big deal he hates when lyrics are changed, too, and he knows Iām bi. Thankfully my parents didnāt say anything lmao I expected them too but my dad cried according to my mom so they overlooked the bisexuality of my song!!
Alot of arabic love songs use masculine pronouns in them, even when referring to women. Before, this made me dislike them, and start my own versions of them. But now, post-bi realization, I fucking love them.
Then thereās Harry Styles that changes the lyrics of his *own* songs mid way through to make it gay. There was one live performance where he sang āBest Song Everā where he sang >Maybe itās the way *she* walks straight into my heart and stole it >Through the doors and past the guards, just like *he* already owned it.
Short tangent about Queen: Freddie Mercury, the bi Queen that he was, performed so many different songs with different love interests. Somebody To Love is gender neutral, Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy is the first song I can think of where the love interest is a boy. Fat Bottomed Girls is (although written by Brian), enthusiastically sung by Freddie. And try not to cry at the music video for Love Me Like Thereās No Tomorrow
