@ Rayalisse & Cruelladeville:

Totally amazing songs!  Just love 'em.  Hey, I thought Madonna was seriously hot back in her heyday.  She's STILL "got it."  God, like thanks so much for posting these vids.  I'd forgotten about these songs.   They're fabulous. 

Me and Madge are the same age....

I just need a new b/f that looks like her Jesus.....lol

Yep I'm a fan of Raya's musicality too..... and many other on here too.... tis a kool way to come play!

Who remembers this?

@ Cruella:

Remeber it?  Girl, I used to sing along with it whenever it came on the radio in my grade-school days ... all the time!  As a benchmark for my time-frame, I turn age 55 in about a week-and-a-half.  Beatles or Stones songs?  Know and love darned near all of them! 

Music is "My Thing!"  I bagged college in my senior year there ... to become a small-time disc jockey on the radio ... for 20+ years?  Why did I do such a stupid thing?  Because, I loved my job!  Can't get enough music!!!  It's way cool that so many people on this thread know all of these great tunes.  This is a way awesome thread ... love it!       Lacey

Surprised we don't have any of Namoli Brennet listed here in this thread...

I'm quite surprised that nobody has mentioned Androgyny by Garbage.

Video:

Some quotes from Garbage's lead singer on the album:

"Everyone has both a female and male part. One rules, but the other can't be canceled. Boys and girls together... an ideal situation."
- Shirley Manson

"I dream a lot about being a boy. I don't know whether it's because our new single is called 'Androgyny,' but for some reason, in the last couple of weeks, I've been dreaming that I'm this weird, freaky-looking guy."
- Shirley Manson

Lyrics:

When everything is going wrong
And you can't see the point in going on
Well nothing in life is set in stone
There's nothing that can't be turned around

Nobody wants to feel alone
And everybody wants to love someone
Out of the tree go pick a plum
Why can't we all just get along?

Boys in the girls room
Girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny
Boys in the parlor
They're getting harder
I'll free your mind and your androgyny

No sweeter a taste that you could find
Than fruit hanging ripe upon the vine
There's never been an oyster so divine
A river deep that never runs dry

The birds and bees they hum along
Like treasures they twinkle in the sun
Get on board and have some fun
Take what you need to turn you on

Behind closed doors and under stars
It doesn't matter where you are
Collecting jewels that catch your eye
Don't let a soulmate pass you by

That reminded me...



Lyrics:

Here come Dick, he's wearing a skirt
Here comes Jane, y'know she's sporting a chain
Same hair, revolution
Same build, evolution
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss

And they love each other so
Androgynous
Closer than you know, love each other so
Androgynous

Don't get him wrong and don't get him mad
He might be a father, but he sure ain't a dad
And she don't need advice that'll center her
She's happy with the way she looks
She's happy with her gender

Mirror image, see no damage
See no evil at all
Kewpie dolls and urine stalls
Will be laughed at
The way you're laughed at now

Now, something meets Boy, and something meets Girl
They both look the same
They're overjoyed in this world
Same hair, revolution
Unisex, evolution
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss
And tomorrow Dick is wearing pants
And tomorrow Janie's wearing a dress
Future outcasts and they don't last
And today, the people dress the way that they please
The way they tried to do in the last centuries

@ Rayalisse, JessicaGurl and Nathan:

All of you, thank you so much!  You've introduced me to this fantastic music that I didn't even know about!  I'm grateful.   

Okay, I admit it:  I'm way out-of-date.   However, I'm always willing to learn new things.  I never even knew these songs existed.  They're so good.  Androgyne by Garbage was especially amazing.  What a video.  The girl singing the song is hot!

Also, Namoli Brennet's "I'm not the Thorn" really hits home.  What this song displays is what I live and feel ... all the time.  Granted, I'm older; however, if I were her age, it would still be my experience.   

Thanks for turning me on to these new, great tunes.   

That entire Garbage Album (Beautiful Garbage) is filled with gems


She gave you everything she had
But she was young and dumb
She'd just turned twenty-one
She didn't care to hang around
So when the ->-bleeped-<- came down
Why she was nowhere to be found
This life can turn a good girl bad
She was the sweetest thing
That you had ever seen

You're such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms

With your cherry lips and golden curls
You could make grown men gasp
When you'd go walking past them
In your hot pants and high heels
They could not believe
That such a body was for real
It seemed like rainbows would appear
Whenever you came near the clouds would disappear
Because you looked just like a girl
Your baby blues would flash
And suddenly a spell was cast

You hold a candle in your heart
You shine the light on hidden parts
You make the whole world wanna dance
You bought yourself a second chance

Go Baby Go Go
We're right behind you
Go baby Go Go
Yeah we're looking at you
Go baby Go Go

I always liked this one.

I must live under a rock because I had never heard of her. Her music is really beautiful and she seems like such a cool person. Thanks for opening my eyes to such a great artist.

OMG I canNOT believe I didn't think of "Walk on the Wild Side"!!!  Cruella, THANK you!

A pleasure ma darlin....

And first and foremost..... and above all else....

We're all only.....

The Human League - Human (2003 Digital Remaster)

HUMAN.....

Bleed like me by Garbage isn't about gender issues but does have a line in it about them.

Garbage - Bleed Like Me

Blur - Girls and Boys

With the legendary chorus:

Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love 





Plus for those who speak French:

Mylène Farmer - Sans contrefaçon

It's clearly about a transkid

Glad to see Garbage made it into the topic, but why did it take until page 3? Beautiful Garbage was my soundtrack during sophomore year of high school.

Taking of foreign languages....

Spanish to be precise this is one of the very best 'gender' movies you can watch....



If you speak spanish its a plus..... but less not forget the artist formerly known as...



Though for pure-raunch not a lot beats this....



On a hot day with the roof down the purple regal one always hits the spot at stage for me... 

You make a really good girl
As girls go
Still kind of look like a guy
I never thought to wonder why

If I could pull this off
Would I know for certain
The real situation
Behind the curtain

So beautiful
damsel in distress
Not exactly natural
Stunning none the less

What happened to you?
To make you more girl than girls are
Would you ever show or tell
Cause you're so good so far

You make a really good girl
As girls go
As girls go
As girls go
As girls go
As girls go

Let's chronicle
The dark side of the life
Did you ever keep the date
With the steel side of the knife

Doesn't matter to me
Which side of the line
You happen to be
At any given time

You make a really good girl
As girls go
As girls go
As girls go
As girls go
As girls go

Born in the Wrong Body, by Danielle Ate the Sandwich

She's also done a guitar version. I love this girl; she's awesome.

Glad someone put this video up, she's very talented, I also think Handsome girl fits this category



Gone is another that speaks to me, might be just me though



She has some great stuff

~Tali

Thanks for putting up Handsome Girl! I forgot about that one.

I absolutely love Danielle; she's my ukulele idol. I'm learning a lot of her songs right now on my uke.

Yes, thanks, Talitha!  I sent links to her songs to a friend who's having a hard time with me right now...
