What music do you listen to while dressed ? Is it different ? Do you dance around?

[Adriana Moretti]

Sorry if this post has been covered before. What songs just "do it" for you...songs that make you feel completely femme..songs you listen to after you get dolled up? Songs you dance around to in your heels ? I love to dance dressed. I have a million, old & new ...can go back as far as Nancy Sinatra yet as modern as Skrillex...whats yours

Some of my currents are

Pussycat Dolls Dont Cha
Black Eyed Peas Boom Boom Pow
Kylie Minouge Slow
Skrillex Scary Monsters
Zedd Clarity
Madonna For A Girl
Wynter Gorden Dirty Talk

could always use a few more for the ipod...whats yours?

[Chardonnay Merlot]

"Nasty Girl" -- Vanity 6 :)

[renaej7]

It is definitely different when I dress. LOL!

Some of my currents are

Marsha Ambrosius - Far Away
Jill Scott - The Way & Golden
Beyoncé - Party
Miquel - How Many Drinks
August Alsina - I Luv This

Any other time...it's Lil Wayne, TI, etc.

[Adriana Moretti]

nasty girl...YESSS ! classic!!!! so is Jill Scott....I want to listen to EVERYTHING else people post cause I am pretty sure they will all be great choices!!!

[JuliaM]

Icona Pop - I Love It (goes with a great shoe commercial on TV - bonus!)
Anything Lady Gaga

Laughed at myself this week to dancing (and singing loudly) in heels to I Will Survive (Gloria Gayner).

[Shanine]

80s music really. I don't dance too much, but I might go crazy for the right song.

[Adriana Moretti]

I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[irene9999]

Pop music, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, etc

[Alice Torn]

Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass' "Music to watch girls by." And an old song from the 1950's "Sittin on the corner watchin all the guils go by." NOT! No i don't listen to those. I like mostly classical music, and maybe some ballet music, so I can prance around my little place, knocking things over, and hitting my heard on the ceiling lights! Seriously, mostly classical, some old country, some old big band, , vocals. Not much modern. I have a cassette with some songs i recorded, like "Dancing Queen", "She's a lady". She's got legs." "Long-legged girl with the short dress on, etc, for if i meet with an admirer, and model and dance.

[Candice Mae]

Kreator, slayer, overkill, megadeth, death, warbringer, legion of the damned, exodus, destruction, death angel, Vader, sepultura, Anthrax, annihilator, Sacrifice, disciples of power, testament and on and on.

<--- This Girl love her thrash and death metal.

[Sarah Doepner]

It seems that I only listen to K.D.Lang, "Invincible Summer" when I'm getting ready to go out. I don't dance, I have a genetic defect; a Y chromosome and northern European ancestors.

[Jason+]

"Switched on Bach" or just about any of Wendy Carlos' work. I loved that music from the first time I heard it long before I discovered so much as underwear.

Alice do I date myself (or at least my upbringing) and confess to actually listening to Herb Alpert and the TJ Brass? :D You can't beat the cover of Whipped Cream and Other Delights!

As for the dancing, people look for my medic alert bracelet when I try that and I'm not wearing heels so I usually stick to making the rythm rather than moving to it. :P

[Eryn]

Usually the same thing that I listen to in drab: classical.

[Shanine]

kay, heard one of those songs that made me dance, Tone Loc, Wild Thing......yeah, I shook my booty in the kitchen lol

[Adriana Moretti]

wow...i find that interesting..i listen to alot of classical music too..especially while getting ready....and also herb albert style 60's mod music....very interesting to find out I am not the only one....great stuff here !

[Cynthia Anne]

I be country all the way unless I'm dancing then it's country and that good old time rock and roll!!!

[Sandraellen]

Nat King Cole and heels.

[PatChick]

Pretty much anything by Regina Spekter. Sweetest voice I've ever heard.

[celeste26]

My two favorites are Bette Midler (The Rose) and Cyndi Lauper (Girls Just Wanna Have Fun)

[Stephanie Sometimes]

If you can listen to Jimi Hendrix Pali Gap without breaking out into dance moves then you have no soul whatsoever. I don't dance very well but with Hendrix playing I channel a 60's go-go girl.

[Tilly Vega]

Madonna
Prince
ABC
The Go-Gos
Dead or Alive
Jeffree Star
Shannon
Lana Del Rey
Grimes
Azailea Banks
This is a small sample list of a few bands.

[Adriana Moretti]

great stuff Tilly !!!!!!!!

[Beverley Sims]

Bonnie Tyler, It's A Heartache.
Smokie, Living Next Door To Alice.

Not for getting dressed but I have speakers in the bathroom, for sing along hour. :)

[Wezzcott]

I love listening to Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Jewel, Michelle Branch, The Band Perry, and several more. I don't really dance to it, but the music is very relaxing. I love female singers in general.

[Dianne S]

I thought about this and the interesting thing is I don't usually listen to music when I'm dressed. The reason is that most of my CDing time comes when I take a day to work at home and everyone else is out of the house. While I'm working, I cannot listen to music... I find it way too distracting.

For relaxation in both modes, I sometimes play the piano. Definitely at the Easy Piano level and it's an eclectic selection: Some Beatles, some Billy Joel, some classical and some Disney movie themes. I particularly like "Part of your World" from The Little Mermaid; I think it sums up many CDers' feelings. :)

[Chardonnay Merlot]

Things I listen to ....

When I'm getting ready to go out

"Fashion" by David Bowie
"Nasty Girl" by Vanity 6
"Supermodel" by RuPaul
"I know a Place" by Petula Clark

When I'm driving en femme anywhere...

"Do You Wanna Touch" by Joan Jet
"Rumor Has It" by Adele
"Walk Like An Egyptian" by the Bangles
"A View To A Kill" by the Brazillian Lounge Project (this cut is also really good shopping music)

[Jaylyn]

I'm probably weird but I really like two kinds of music dressed or not... Any 60s and some early 70s. I used to play in a small group that we had formed in high school thus the 60's n 70's. Today, being from West Texas I have always heard old western growing up and country. I played with a country group for several years, thus learning many of the old favorites. About the only country I listen to today is George Strait, Josh Turner, and a few songs from very few other artist. I enjoy waltzing, two stepping, and just having a good time with the wife at a few of the old joints I used to attend or play in. I have a respect for any musician no matter what the talent level. When I am dressed if I have the 60s channel on I will dance to that or if it's a local station it's gonna be country so I waltz n two step. Funny I still do the leading wether dressed or not. Probably didn't answer any of the questions but take it for what it's worth. Probably not many country fans CD.

[Robinkay]

Dubstep-Electronic…..Dance :D

[reb.femme]

Vocal Trance in all modes....end of! Armin van Buuren a big fave but loving the female featured singers. Emma Lock sends me to heaven with 'You and Me'.

Shogun ft Emma Lock - Save Me
Tritonal ft Cristina Soto - Piercing Quiet
Alex Kunnari ft. Emma Lock - You And Me
Armin van Buuren ft Ana Criado - I'll Listen
Omnia ft Melissa Loretta - Halo

I'll dance if the clubs would let an old git like me in.

Rebecca

[Zylia]

[StacyPump]

I listen to Madelaine Peyroux while I am getting dressed up. It puts me in a girlie kind of mood.

I listen to Red Hot Chili Peppers "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" when I am dressed up, dancing around, and feeling hot!

[Rosie87]

I just heard a rendition of "Hell on Heels" on the Voice UK (a singing reality tv show) and thought that was quite appropriate...

[heellover]

I do notice I listen to easy rock type ( I love Katie Perry!) stations and country a lot while in girl mode.

I'm a fan of country to begin with,but I listen to more classic rock while in boy mode.

[Christen]

60's pop and Motown do it for me. Sometimes I dance. Last night I was having serious thoughts about being a backup girl in a 60's band. Big, big hair, tiny mini dress, knee high boots and cool moves. I think that's want I want to be when I grow up! Strangely Shania Twain also gets my girl feet moving.

Christen x

[Adriana Moretti]

20's swing music has been my new kick recently...I feel so Great Gatsby-ish . It goes good with a nice stiff drink and makes me feel like what I am doing is illegal in some prohibition type of way.

[michellekhoo]

God! If I accidently shared my Spotify listening habits on Facebook I would be screwed! Let's just say that my listening habits are entirely different when in drab.

[Amy Hepker]

I have been to a few Bars around and yes, I will get out there and Dance. I was afraid to for so long thinking I would just look ridicules, But I guess that is dancing and I feel good dancing now. I just don't like being the tallest Lady out there dancing.

[LovelyGeek]

anything dance/edm/trance/ambient/dubstep, jazz, and bluegrass, pop, rock, ska.
I LOVE dancing in my dress and flats.

Lake street dive
Presidents of the USA
Weezer

Afro Cuban All Stars
Reel Big Fish
PvD

[Sarah21]

I love dancing. I like lots of different music but there are some songs I just have to dance to. It's hard to pick a few.

My absolute favorites to dance to are
Call Me Maybe – Carly Rae Jepsen
Sugababes - Red Dress
Christina Aguilera - Candyman
Beyonce - Single Ladies

I love the older stuff as well, especially Abba and Whitney Houston.

[Hell on Heels]

Thanks for the plug Rosie, Pistol Annies are a lot of fun!
My music choice is the same, although some of the songs have
a little different feel or meaning to me while in chick mode, than in drab.
Much Love,
Kristyn

[Audrey Sis]

Same as Kristyn, which for me is mostly 70s-80s Rock from ACDC to Zep, Pink Floyd (watch for my left shoulder in pics...) to The Cure, GoGos, Crowded House, way many more. I've added a little to that including a couple by Eminem, and yes some pop (I Kissed a Girl, anyone?)

I like it all in any mode, because I'm all me, all the time, dressed or not.

Oh, and I danced last Halloween, in public and all, and it felt quite natural, relaxed, and I had tons of fun. I don't typically dance by myself, though.

[Annaliese2010]

I love music couldn't live w/o it. I dunno if I 'dance' per se just move to the rhythm feel the lyrics let it express through me. Whether happy or sad let it move me.

A Fine Frenzy - Almost Lover
Jack Johnson - Angel (Kid Koala Remix) and so many others like Bubble Toes
Peter Frampton - Baby I Love Your Way
Lady GaGa - Bad Romance, Poker Face, Just Dance and everything else she does (I'm in love with her)

[Devi is here]

Intresting playlists on this thread :)

[Katey888]

I'm surprised this one's been missed, as there really can only be one to have a good bop and sing along to..

ABBA - Dancing Queen :eek:

But push me to something more recent and I'll go....

Sash - Encore une fois (OK not very recent)

Shania Twain - Man! I feel like a woman... :)

Katey x

[Donna Jean GA]

I have to second that old standard "Man! I feel like a woman" by Shania, Katey! That's my absolute favorite to dance around to when I am en femme.

Donna Jean

[scarletcd]

My music taste doesn't necessarily change I don't think. I have an unnatural love for both Queen and AC/DC so its usually just more of the same when I'm dressed.

[anaissa]

I love all kinds of music, and like you, I dance all over the place while I'm dressing and then when I'm fully dressed. I experience a sort of euphoria when I am en femme. Currently my faves are:

Favorite Current songs

Pitbull (Rihanna)-- The Monster
Katy Perry-- Roar
Zedd -- Stay the Night
Lady Gaga-- Do What U Want
Lorde-- Royals
Bruno Mars-- Young Girls

Some of my favorite artists:

Gwen Stefani
Madonna
Natasha Beningfield
Regina Spektor
Lily Allen
Amy Winehouse
Blondie
Cyndi Lauper

and yes...

Nancy Sinatra

[Christen]

God, forgot ABBA. Ridiculously good to dance to!

[Karen kc]

Jaylyn, I guess there"s 2 of us cders that listen to classic country. I also like southern rock, and have grabbed the wifes hand and twirled her around while dressed

[Melissa in SE Tn]

The male side of me still dominates the melissa in me. My favorite rock band of all time was & wil remain the late 60's / early 70's ABB when Duane was alive . Duane Allman was a guitar god. At that same time, yes , genesis, wishbone ash, move /ELO , pink Floyd, humble pie, deep purple rocked my world.

Now that I am older & hopefully more musically mature, I just love to watch dancing with the stars to appreciate beautiful dancing , costumes , multi eras of music , etc. I really like the big band era of the 40's to get me & my wife to swing dance. Music does calm the savage beast & warms my cd soul . " But back home he'll always run to sweet Melissa".

[sonialexis]

i was thinking of exactly a similar thread. right now mine would be 'she wolf' shakira, girls do listen to it, definitely different from what I would listen to in dran. it absolutely brings out the girl in me. i do a beyonce strut and a wiggle.

[scarletcd]

Recently I've fallen in love with the new Against Me! album. Some of you might be aware but the lead singer has announced she will be transitioning and their new album reflects that....

[Isabella77]

Does anyone ever fantasize about stripping / dancing to music? Or am I just a total ****? :o :battingeyelashes:

[Adriana Moretti]

Does anyone ever fantasize about stripping / dancing to music? ...
Guilty.!!!!..especially late night...its actually GREAT exercise and works all the correct muscles!!!!

[Isabella77]

Somehow I love dancing so much better as a girl. There is a lot of great music for it. Personally I like Indie and garage rock. Love to move to Indie rock queens like PJ Harvey and Liz Phair (not Cat Power though - totally different kind of energy). Also bands Like The Kings of Leon and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Great for shakin' it up in sexy clothes.

[Adriana Moretti]

this video sums it up nicely

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5j-ipGFcko&feature=kp

[Carrie R]

I like Pink Floyd, Yes, Styx, Led Zeppelin and Mike Oldfield. You might have guessed, I don't dance.

[Katey888]

this video sums it up nicely


Thanks Adriana - that's made me feel soooo much better.... I think I can actually do better than that French bird... awful... :eek:

[Milou]

I don't even dress (yet), but this is what I would listen. Don't judge me >:3.

Music, I usually listen:

???

[Isa]

When dressed, I find myself listening to more Jazz and Classical. If I'm really happy I'll throw on some Alexander Rybak. When not dressed you'll catch me listening to Black/Death Metal. I would love to dance, but I just kind of flutter around. Pretty sure it would amuse most folks hahaha

[Barbie Anne]

Good question, wish I could answer it. I love classic rock and the blues. Chiefly Stevie Ray Vaghaun, Ac/Dc, Lynard Skynard, Allman brothers, etc. I listen to these while both in girl and guy mode............However, if I'm in girl mode and the radio plays something typically girly......

I used to love to get all dolled up in 80's madonna mode and dance around the house to "Girls just want to have fun" by Cyndi Lauper........There I've said it........whew.

[Katey888]

I don't even dress (yet), but this is what I would listen. Don't judge me >:3.



Milou -I don't know about anyone else - or whether or not I could dance to it - but I could sit and watch something like the 'Miniskirt' video all day.. :D

And the music ain't bad either...

Same here. K-pop is my guilty pleasure :3


That intro, tho:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pA_Tou-DPI

[Michelle_Phoenix]

I like mostly rock/metal. Headbanging is a lot more fun en femme cause of the hair. Lol


Kreator, slayer, overkill, megadeth, death, warbringer, legion of the damned, exodus, destruction, death angel, Vader, sepultura, Anthrax, annihilator, Sacrifice, disciples of power, testament and on and on.

<--- This Girl love her thrash and death metal.

^ This girl has good taste.

[RebeccaRachel]

Shania Twain - Man! I Feel Like A Woman...

[Tracii G]

Nothing much changes for me 80' 90's rock/metal and some newer heavy metal.
As long as the music speaks to me and thumps me hard on the chest its all good.

[RachelRoxx]

It totally changes for me. I play guitar and love heavy metal, rocks, jazz, blues and classical but when Im getting ready or am dressed i like more girly music. Club music and techno, Beyonce and such. Anthough getting readdy with a little Beethoven or Paganinni playing is sublime!

[Mink]

I'm a total indie gal! ... and a bit of the ol' experimental pop / catchier side of avant garde!

radiohead... super furry animals... animal collective

cloud cult, mark mallman, tatu, rem, men without hats, sleepytime gorilla museum, bearsuit, gang gang dance, xiu xiu, einsturzende neubauten to name just a few!

when feeling girlier i must admit i like girly pop! ... metric, ladytron, the like...

i try not to danse!

for humanity!

[samantha rogers]

In boy mode I listen to and love pretty much everything...rock in all forms from Eddie Cochran to Arcade Fire, old Stones to Franz Ferdinand, jazz - Miles Davis, Keith Jarrett, more, classical, country, electronic, you name it. My hard drive has nearly a TB of music on it..except for pop and rap...well, I do have some older pop...just none of the current stuff unless you count Adele. Ironically, as Samantha I love pop, especially female vocalists, and especially especially romantic r&b...but I still don't like rap. LOL

Lady Gaga....and METAL lol

[Shellycd12]

Love the 80's music especially girl bands like The Donnas and love Joan Jett.
