Today I had to make a stop on the way to pickup the wife at the airport. I wasn't paying attention, but stopped for a pitstop as I left. In the restroom you could really hear the music. I couldn't stop myself while washing up. I just started laughing. It was the old "Dude Looks Like a Woman". I had the urge to just say Thanks to no one on particular 😀
I'm going to go with Shania Twain, Man! I feel like a women!
I always got a kick out of the Kinks "Lola", and I always enjoy listening to the lyrics when I hear it, even now . As a younger guy I thought to myself "How could he not know Lola was a man?" I understand much better now - she just presented very well!
I'll nominate Bitty Boppy Betty from Pink Martini's album 'Splendour In the Grass'. I'd played the album several times before one or other of the song's lyrics sunk in and I listened to it again properly. It instantly became a favourite. It's now fun to play the album when I've company, knowing the song will air and while it might seem just another track, my SO and I will understand its significance.
I love "Dude looks like a Lady" by Aerosmith, not so much for the crossdressing theme, but because it's hard-core rock and roll.
I don't remember caring much about scones until I heard Monty Python's Lumberjack song.
I always liked Take a Walk on the Wild Side, ?Plucked her eyebrows on the way, shaved her legs and then he was a she? Lou Reed
A couple of songs come to mind. Hes a woman Shes a man Scorpions and Arnold Layne Pink Floyd.
I've always gotten a kick out of the song "Walking 'Round in Women's Underwear", sung to the tune of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" from the Bob Rivers "Twisted Christmas" album. I think it describes the euphoria we all feel when we put on our favorite items of women's clothing to a "T"...pun obviously intended - LOL
The accuracy of that account also makes one wonder if maybe - just maybe -'ole Bob might not have been a "civilian" after all...
I know all the lyrics to every spice girls song and it?s hard to not sing them when I hear it lol
If you?re not aware that song actually is about real transgendered individuals (at least three of the people discussed are). It?s about the scene that followed Andy Warhol with Holly being Holly Woodlawn, Candy being Candy Darling, and Jackie being Jackie Curtis.Quote:

Not really a crossdressing song but one that talks to me as a crossdresser is the Chorus from Isis by the Gogoo Dolls.
I don't want the world to see me
I don't think they'd understand
Everythings made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I'd never heard of it, so I looked it up.Quote:

and, of course, the Lumberjack song always makes me smile.
"So tell me what you want, what you really, really want..." (as if we didn't know - LOL!)Quote:

Ironically, “Dude looks like a Lady” isn’t actually about crossdressing. Steven Tyler wrote the song about Vince Neil of Motley Crue.
Funnily enough that song annoys me, and i cant listen to it.Quote:

"Androgynous" by The Replacements. I saw them at "Boston Calling" one year and, surprising to me, the whole audience seemed to know the words, and sang along. The 1975 was at that show as well , with their song "Chocolate" which had the line "Guns hidden under our Petticoats". So kind of a double treat for me.
Nah, he knew. I think it was in one of the first verses, 'in a dark, low voice', and once he gets to, 'Walks like a woman, but talks like a man' is an immediate giveaway. Still, at the end he says he's glad he's a man 'and so is Lola'.Quote:

Ob la de Ob la da by The Beatles... "Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face and in the evening She's a singer in the band"
Greta X by Adam Ant is one of my favorite crossdressing songs.
