Fridat Night is Music Night: Gender Transfer

[User169]

The Pointer Sisters with Fire penned by Springsteen.

Le Bruce sings it in the third person and it basically sounds like a hymn to date rape.

A mate went to see The Boss the other night, he said he was OK but it wasn't the best gig he went to that week.

Loved Tanya in the 90s.

The Derailers, Then She Kissed Me, nice alt country (whatever that is) version.

I preferred The Bluebells' cover of Young at Heart to Banarama's, but I always wondered why they decided not to change 'him' to 'her'.

Yup. The Ben Taylor original is, I think, just a teeny tiny bit vile... The video is particularly creepy!

Amy MacDonald does a fine version of The Jam's "Town Called Malice".

Cohn's immeasurably superior to Chers feeble cover (got it on a single somewhere)

Best version of that is by Rosanne Cash but I can't find it on YouTube.

EDIT:

Just have, sound quality is a bit crap though -

The utterly brilliant Sarah Connolly, singing Handel's Julius Caesar at Glyndebourne. Originally written for a castrato, now usually sung by a mezzo. I remember the first time I saw her in a dress - a very odd experience.

I could have posted much of baroque opera, and given the thread title I could have posted much of opera. Tom Service finished his Sunday afternoon Radio 3 programme (recommended, by the way) finished a discussion of love songs by playing the end of Rosenkavalier.

The chap in the middle, incidentally, is actually a woman in drag.
