Dear brain boxes at xltronic.com/mb, Can anyone think of examples of songs which have been performed by both men and women at different times? You know, where a man has covered a womans song or vice versa. Any examples would be greatly thanked. |

Its for an essay on the how gender influences an artists output. at the moment I'm writing about gender vs narrative identity and whether the two can be fully separated. |

"It's my party" (and I'll cry ifI want to) by Helen Shapiro but made famous by Leslie Gore was covered by Bryan Ferry on 1973's album "These Foolish things", as well as "Piece of My Heart" by Erma Franklin. Lulu did David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World" Didn't Alan Partridge do a Kate Bush medly? |

"It's My Party" is an excellent example. A very feminine song. Thanks Dan! Now I just have to 'acquire' the Helen Shapiro version. |

The proto, motherlode of this subject is probably Aretha Frankin doing Otis Redding's "Respect". |

Massive Attack's Teardrop, and the awful José Gonzáles cover comes to mind. He also did a cover of the knife:heartbeats in his usual rapist style. Oh, and Kate Bush: Hounds of Love, and that hipster band i wont bother googling. I don't know if they where supposed to be good songs. Kate Bushes original is the only one of these songs i really like. |

It is definitely the prime example which is why my bloody lecturer used in two or three times in lectures, meaning I cant use it now because I'll feel like I'm cheating. Bloody arsehole. |

The quality of the songs is irrelevant. It's whether the meaning changes when they are performed by someone of a different gender. I shall youtube your examples in the hope they will add meat to the diseased bones of my work. |

Not sure if it appears on a studio album, but David Byrne has covered "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" many a time. |

I was in a band called "HOT" and we did a cover of that song, or at least it served as the intro. GOOD TIMES (aka the '90s) |

Women aren't as good as men so everything they do is bound to be worse. |

Oh, and didn't Scarlett Johansson make an entire album of Tom Waits covers? |

sinéad o'connor covered prince's "nothing compares 2 u" |

They kind of cancel each other out though, don't they? |

i once covered a pedro og carlos song |

michael jackson and, what's her name... mariah carey. yeah, that's the one. she did a track of him once (or more). as far as i know, the favor wasn't returned. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you don't know them, you can just google those names. i believe there should be a few sites providing you with some information |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, 'fantasy' by mariah carrrireiriie had an extremely shitty remix by some sort of old dirty bastard type dude, so your thesis could be the Y chromosome makes shit music. That's why aphex makes good music (he has breasts) and autechre (they're fags (with phobiazero)). |
