Music that puts you in "girl mode"?

[Marissa Anne]

Does anyone have a particular song, artist or album that automatically puts them into "girl mode"?

I found a new one: a band called "The Bird and the Bee" that I can start this thread off with. Both of their two full-length albums, the first self-titled and the second "Ray Guns Are Not The Future" are airy, harmony-laden, relaxing lounge-pop that is perfect to dress up to!

Any other suggestions to add to the "girl collection"?

Marissa

[Christina89]

for me it is "my humps" by the black eyed peas. just hearing that song makes me want to be en femme mode

[NathalieX66]

I love hearing the voices of Neko Case, Kristin, Hersh, or the Bangles...that's the kind of music I listen to.

But I must warn you that music is so subjective that just because the singer is female, and you like it, doesn't make you more girly or feminine. Listening to Nora Jones ballads is just as sexy and sultry in guys's ears as girls', therefore no matter what chromosome team you belong to or identify with, therefore I think such a topic is irrelevant.

[dana55]

alot of madonnas older hits really put me in extra girly modw. "dress you up in my love" "holiday: are two songs that come to mind!

[brittdoll]

Anything by Pink - ya just gotta love her girl power

[Carole Cross]

I don't need music to put me in girl mode.

[Ms Mira]

Blondie... Just the perfect breezy, blonde pop-music.

I :lovestruck: Deborah Harry.

[Marisa_M]

Stand by your man (Tammy Wynette)

Sometimes its hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doing things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him
Oh be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

[anda_mouse]

hmmm
bjork, dresdon dolls, hole, sasha and digweed, aphex twin, finally punk, the distillers, !fuga!, !!!, the smiths, ect, ect

now i listen to all these bands in guy mode also. but they are some of my girl mode favorites that seem to fit the mood.

[anda_mouse]

Blondie... Just the perfect breezy, blonde pop-music.

I :lovestruck: Deborah Harry.

oh ya how could i forget blondie!

[5150 Girl]

Well,, I have a VanHalen song for every mood. (but I bet ya-all figgured that already)
Some of my fem self's faves would be "Dreams" or "Why can't this be love" "Right now" "Feel your love tonight" "Dance the night away" "Top of the world" and I guess I'd round out this list with "Beautiful girls" (I can pretend it's about me)
Now if I'm feeling a bit trampy, I might go with "Drop dead legs" "Dirty movies" possibly "Poundcake, and "hot for teacher"

Of course we all know of Steve's desire for crossdressing, so I could list a few Aerosmith things here to, "Live'n on the edge" and "Dude looks like a lady"

[Marcy_in_hose]

The music that puts me in definite "girl mode" has to be No Doubt and Gwen Stefani. I feel so sexy and femme listening to her sexy voice. I wish I looked like her. She is so beautiful...

[SweetCaroline]

I'd have to vote for Lulu, and Nancy Sinatra

[diane51]

Cold Play seems to get me and keep me in the mood

[rachelgirlnw]

Metric's new Fantasies album really does it for me now. "Help, I'm Alive" and "Sick Muse" are great.

Emily Haines' voice is *soooo* dreamy!

[Sammy777]

Does anyone have a particular song, artist or album that automatically puts them into "girl mode"? "Ray Guns Are Not The Future"is perfect to dress up to!

Hi Marissa Anne - I was just checking out Ray Guns online. I can see what you mean. Very pretty sound! Nice to hear some new music, too. Thanks for that!

Rachel

[PrettyFlowingGown]

[spiroxlii]

I love The Bird and the Bee!

But lately, a cheesy Disney song has really reflected how I feel:

Look at me
I will never pass for a perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
Can it be
I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see
That if I were truly to be myself
I would break my fam'ly's heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone
I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am
Though I've tried
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

[Samantha Girl]

I love listening to a lot of dance music, like old school 90's dance music, but I don't own much.

Love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, they really get me going, very sexual music to me ;) Another band that's a bit subversive and weird, the Gossip, for me they have the perfect vibe. Their old stuffs more punky, new stuff more dancey, All gooood! :D MIA is great too, Ting Tings, Lady Gaga... I like strong, in your face kinda chicks :battingeyelashes:

[Rachel Morley]

I can't say there's any particular song that "puts" me in girl mode but if I'm already in girl mode (especially if I'm going out to a club, bar or TG social) then there are some songs that enhance my happy feelings when dressed. Most Madonna songs and certain Gwen Stefani songs do it for me. :)

[Deidra Cowen]

That digital spit
Next level visual ****

I'm so 3008
You so 2000 and late
I got that boom, boom, boom
That future boom, boom, boom
Let me get it now

[Mya Summers]

where to begin, lets see.. Mariah Carrey, Lady Gaga, Cascada and for some reason the heavy metal group Kittie.

[Samantha Girl]

Mya, the reason is OMG Kittie is sooo XXXXen HOT! :D Love to play Kittie when I dress up! :devil:

[Mya Summers]

[MissConstrued]

Megadeth -- "Crush 'em"

:daydreaming:

[Sarah Doepner]

Okay this is kind of a mixed message, but I really like lisenting to K D Lang's "Invincible Summer" when I want to enhance an already girly mood.

[Veronica Lacey]

While music itself is not a trigger it sometimes fits the mood for sure. Is it more an image attached to the song or the voice?

Madonna
- What It Feels Like For A Girl (dance version)
- Bedtime Story
Cocteau Twins
- Heaven Or Las Vegas
- Bluebeard
- Pandora
Olivia Newton-John
- Xanadu
- Magic
- Physical
Enya
- Caribbean Blue
Laura Branigan
- Self Control

[anda_mouse]

Megadeth -- "Crush 'em"

:daydreaming:

hmmm, i'll have to try megadeth. never would have thought about it....but i think it could be fun.

[Nicole Erin]

Music is music to me.

Altho, the song "I believe in a thing called love" by The Darkness makes me want to go on a murderous rampage, does that count? Thanks a lot, Sammy, for intro'ing me to that horrid assault on my ears. :straightface:

[Colleen03]

Different genres for different sessions. Generally if I hear the voice of a sexy female like Jessica Simpson, Carrie Underwood, or Taylor Swift, it puts me into the mood just dress casual. La Isla Bonita by Madonna, or Wave Babies by Honeymoon Suite gives me the urge to put on one of my swimsuits. If I hear any metal or hard rock, I want to dress as a biker babe.

[5150 Girl]

I'm a VH fan too, obsessed with the Hagar years. How 'bout "My kinda girl" from the new Chickenfoot album.

I've only heard 1 number off the album, and I can't remember which it was right now, but it wasn't this one

[serinalynn]

I'll go with a country tune by Gretchen Wilson called "Redneck Woman"

[KeyKcm]

not really hearing stuff but seeing stuff works for me

[Laci6]

"Smooth up in Ya" by the BulletBoys....among others, as long as it's Rock n' Roll......whether i'm in guy mode or girl mode been told i look like I'm right out of a "80'S music video!!!!!:)

[Carola]

Garbage is my favorite band so, everything goes well with my fem mode.
I love Bush too (the band) but it's not for be dressed.
If i want something really girly, i go with Blondie, Black Velvet (Alannah Myles) or Stop (Sam Brown).

[Samantha Girl]

Oooooh garbage is a good one! Loooove that woman! :D

[Sammy777]

Megadeth -- "Crush 'em"

While not my first song choice, but you do gotta like the band!

[MissConstrued]

While not my first song choice, but you do gotta like the band!


I just kinda threw that out there for a reaction. Not a very girly song. :)

[Nicole Erin]

Well, it is cheesy but I guess Madonna if I had to pick something for femme mode.


I just kinda threw that out there for a reaction. Not a very girly song. :)

MissConstrued saying something to get a reaction? Who would have ever imagined? :heehee:

[Melissa Rose]

Lately, it's been Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Kate Voegele, Sara Bareilles and Duffy. The Bangles and Wilson Phillips also works for me.

[MissConstrued]

MissConstrued saying something to get a reaction? Who would have ever imagined? :heehee:


I know, right? Had to try it sometime. :D

[AmberNation]

DJ Keoki, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Britney

[Nessa88]

Songs that make me want to shapeshift into Nessa are

The Beheading of a King ~ Amon Amarth

Mourning Palace ~ Dimmu Borgir

The Sacrilegious Scorn ~ Dimmu Borgir

Lepers Among us ~ Dimmu Borgir

Eyes of the Totenkopf ~ Incarceri 9

Control ~ Puddle of Mudd

And some Marilyn Manson

[Jessica_M]

I don't need music to get into girl state.... Maybe it's a Zen kind of thing....
But when I want to dance..... it's Paralyser by Finger Eleven, and Sober by Pink. I put my Ipod buds in place.... and dance my heart out!!! I sometimes imagine I'm dancing at a friends wedding! I also have a wedding like gown that I sometimes feel like wearing just because it's beautiful... then when I'm dancing.... it's my wedding!!

Jessica_M

[Mandy Burgundy]

Lola - the kinks
Walk On The Wild Side - Lou Reed
Lady Gaga - pokerface
Aeorosmith - Dude looks like a lady

[Bethany38]

The music that puts me in definite "girl mode" has to be No Doubt and Gwen Stefani. I feel so sexy and femme listening to her sexy voice. I wish I looked like her. She is so beautiful...



Marcy I am soooo with you on this one. I absolutely love anything that Gwen sings. And she definitely puts me in the mood to dress. Along with that I would have to say Katey Perry, she reminds me of my avatar. Early Madonna is another, Heart has some good ones that entice me. And Van Halens' Beautiful Girls that one is one song from childhood that really reminds me that even then I wished I could wear the clothes of and be a girl.

[Samantha Girl]

Ya know what I also like to listen to dressed up, occassionally, 80's hair bands! :o G N' R, Poison, Def Lep and others. Guess I have a theme going huh? So embarrassing! :p

[Sarah-RT]

I have to say myself, that music does not get me into that mood, although I will admit, I do enjoy some bands or artists that guys should not normally enjoy, but sure thats not my only secret here haha

[Patty-Fay]

I get turned on by classics. My favorites: "I'm simply a female female" and "I feel Pretty." the latter from West Side Story (My goodness but Natalie Wood was one gorgeous girl).

[AllieSummers]

I have to agree with Vickii's list. I'm really supposed to be too old to listen to the stuff. My daughters remind me all the time. But I love to dance and I'm clinging to my youth so I love her list:

britney spears
christina aguilera
katy perry
pussycat dolls
danity kane
lady gaga...

I would also add:
Black Eyed Peas
Fergie
Gwen Stefani
Rihanna

I love Britney Spears' Circus. I request it every time I go to a club. I jump right out there in the middle of the floor and do my dance routine to it. Britney is so dang sexy. Her look, body, moves, voice, everything...

I guess I like to show-off and be in the spot light or something. I just think songs from these groups make me feel sexy.

Kisses,

Allie

Ah, yes... Poison... do you think... they might have been... well, you know... um...


93014


Nah! :D

[Marissa Anne]

OK...here's a summary so far:

146 artists or songs
117 individual artists

Top 3:

1. Madonna (duh! no kidding!)
2. Alanis Morissette
3. Lady Gaga

I'm shocked that it took three pages of posts to get to Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side! C'mon!

Anyways, it was fun seeing the differing tastes in music. And I've seen a lot of posts from musicians in other parts of the forum...clearly this group is creative and diverse!

I wish I could post the whole list...I've dumped it into Excel...does anyone know if you can still create playlists in iTunes? We should have a crossdressers.com playlist!

[Marissa Anne]

Ok, and a few more from me while I'm here:

1. For the person who posted Wave Babies by Honeymoon Suite...how could you forget "New Girl Now"?!!
2. Astrud Gilberto - Girl From Ipanema. Great story about that one...Astrud's husband Joao Gilberto was recording in Brazil with Stan Getz, a well known jazz sax player. She's watching the session. Stan suggests Astrud sing the english-language part of the song, and Joao STRONGLY objects. She does it anyway and what happens? That single sold millions, won a Grammy, and launched her 25-year singing career. Good on ya, girl!
3. Esthero - That Girl. If you haven't heard her stuff, check this old single out off her first album, then buy her follow-up album "Wikked Lil' Grrrls"
4. Everything But The Girl - pretty much anything, but Amplified Heart is my favourite album, with Temperamental a strong second
5. What, no Lily Allen fans?!! Her homage to GWB, F**k You, is worth buying the album, but she's fun and about as cutting as a singer can be...

OK! I'm going to stop typing now...

[Lisa Golightly]

Anything by Marilyn Manson will do... Though I'm partial to (S)aint and Use Your Fist... Actually the album title 'The Golden Age of Grotesque' speaks to me... :)

PS... and Better of Two Evils of course... :)

[Cheshire Gummi]

Megadeth -- "Crush 'em"

:daydreaming:

You know, I was going to say "Meshuggah's Bleed" but you already cornered the market on that rouse.

Well, here's my answer, if I even have an answer:

The Knife's "Heartbeats."

This is the live version which is a bit more solemn and thoughtful and down tempo than the album version.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrjwqXwyzNU

You can hunt for "Bleed" yourself on YouTube if you're curious, which you shouldn't be because it's the musical equivalent of a punch to the kidney.

[Samantha Girl]

Don't know why I didn't think of this until now, they are my 2nd favorite band in the world! There is a GREAT song by Green Day called "King for a Day" on their album Nimrod. It's about cross dressing and it is sooo XXXXen AWESOME! :D It really puts me in the mood ;)

BTW, just because it popped into my head. Anybody ever see that Foo Fighters video where Dave Grohl and Jack Black are runnin around in womans underwear?! It's hysterical!:p

[skreamer]

I personally like "Darling Nikki" by Prince. Most of his stuff is very emotional and sexual anyway.

[CindyLouWho]

I'm always in Girl Mode, but my faves are:

3. Girls Just Want to Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper
2. I Touch Myself - Divinyls
1. Sex (I'm a...) - Berlin

[Roxi Loh]

Love is the Drug by Roxy Music. Bryan Ferry is such a sexy crooner.

[robyn1114]

I have to agree with Vickii's list. I'm really supposed to be too old to listen to the stuff. My daughters remind me all the time. But I love to dance and I'm clinging to my youth so I love her list:

britney spears
christina aguilera
katy perry
pussycat dolls
danity kane
lady gaga...

I would also add:
Black Eyed Peas
Fergie
Gwen Stefani
Rihanna
Kisses,
Allie
I would also have to agree with this list + Madonna

The Smiths "The boy with the thorn on his side"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYp2LGKOF_M

As a teen I always knew The Smiths sang to me, but i could never tell anyone why...

[princessgrinder]

i like Hole - Beautiful Son

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb3UMh1DMbk&feature=PlayList&p=1CFF85A86C3A3598&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=14

and Garbage - Cherry Lips

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqaUZkf52fs&feature=PlayList&p=1011DEDFC8ED5F30&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=27

they're both great songs to get girly to

[Mmmatt]

The music that puts me in definite "girl mode" has to be No Doubt and Gwen Stefani. I feel so sexy and femme listening to her sexy voice. I wish I looked like her. She is so beautiful...

In terms of style, Gwen is like my #1 inspiration... Well, her and Elvira, but I can't really pull off Elvira clothes. Come to think of it, I can't pull off Gwen clothes... anyway...


The Beheading of a King ~ Amon Amarth

Amon Amarth makes me want to grow a beard, get a sword and do some pillaging!

[Joni Marie Cruz]

Horny by The Fugs.

Hugs...Joni Mari

[cassandra2601]

i'd go with Dana - I think Madonna is soo sexty and bi too that her early songs are very en-femme mode.....

[Marie-Claire]

Marissa,
I guess I'm a bit more literal.
I Enjoy Being a Girl from Flower Drum Song;
I am Woman - Helen Reddy;
I'm a Woman W-O-M-A-N.

[kinky_caitlin]

For me, its Shania Twain's "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" Everytime I hear it, I can't help but sing a long and wish i was in my short skirt.

[clairemarie]

Oh yes! Karen Carpenter does it for me. This has been true for many, many years. Her album “Voices of the Heart” is really a very moody. It is special to me.
