Songs about TGs
Any songs about TGs? 'Tweeter and the Monkey Man' by Bob Dylan ? Traveling Wilburys comes to mind. Listen to the lyrics at the very end of the song, ".....before he ever became a Jersey girl...." Here is the url

Surely, the most famous such song (if measured by success on the charts) is "Lola" by The Kinks (1970). It tells of a romantic young man's confused encounter with a transvestite, and made the Top 10 in both Britain and the United States.
Here's a link to the music, with full lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaMS_5i0Bbs |

Let's not forget "Walk on the Wild Side" by Lou Reed (1972). The song describes Holly, who "shaved her legs and then he was a she." You'll still hear the song on oldies stations today, because the lyrics are so clever that the censors don't know where to cut.
"And the colored girls sing ..." |

Wasn't Lou Reed in a relationship with a transsexual woman at some point? I think she's on the cover of some CD or other. They're lying together in bed like the arms of a spiral galaxy.

I asked at school today, and two students mentioned a song I didn't know:
"Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go)" by Garbage So I looked up the lyrics, which include: You're such a delicate boy In the hysterical realm Of an emotional landslide In physical terms With your cherry lips and golden curls You could make grown men gasp When you'd go walking past them In your hot pants and high heels They could not believe That such a body was for real It seemed like rainbows would appear Whenever you came near the clouds would disappear Because you looked just like a girl Your baby blues would flash And suddenly a spell was cast http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xrn...-baby-go_music |

Not sure if they are what you are looking for, as they are sung from the point of view of the guy becoming the girl, but "My First Christmas as a Woman - The Vandals" , "My Vagina - NoFX", and "King for a Day - Green Day" which admitedly only mentions cross dressing. I know a few more.

On another note: that Garbage song, very good. Anything to watch a pretty woman nearly smooching the camera as she sings provocatively. And to atone for my previous sin: there's a song I heard for the first time as a wee lad. I didn't understand it then but it's all too obvious now. It's in Spanish though, of the Salsa genre. More specifically it's old salsa from the 80s when salsa was still good and not the throwaway swill it is nowadays; it's what my people call "salsa gorda," literally "thick salsa." Yes, rather like the stuff you eat. The difference between salsa gorda and contemporary salsa is like wine and vinegar. It's Willie Colon's "El Gran Varon" or "The Great Man," "The Big Man." It's about a transvestite. It's the entire life story of a transvestite and it ends in, well, a rather predictable manner. Not predictable in a bad way, rather that...well, find a translation and you'll see. Somehow my father never batted an eye when the song came on and I was in the car.

Androgyny by Garbage. Just listened to it. It's not really about tgirls but I imagine most of us here are fans of androgyny. And with lyrics like these:
Boys.. Boys in the girls room Girls.. Girls in the men's room You free your mind in your androgyny Boys.. Boys in the parlour Girls.. They're getting harder Also: sex. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGcXEEo1HAY&NR=1 |

What It Feels Like For A Girl (Madonna) is cute.
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da (The Beatles) is another adorable one about a guy named Desmond who goes out at night as a female singer named Molly. Lady Stardust (David Bowie) ... seems more like it's just about a guy wearing makeup ... Somebody Told Me (The Killers) sounds like he's talking to a girl and saying, "Your boyfriend is secretly a transvestite, and I fucked him last year." Dude Looks Like A Lady (Aerosmith) Sweet Transvestite (Rocky Horror) You can argue that the songs are mostly about transvestites and not likely full-time transsexual women. |

As regards Ob-la-di Ob-la-da, the mention of Desmond putting on the makeup at the end was a mistake on The Beatles part. But they like it and kept it. Plus, it's more fun with the gender-bending.

Candy Darling. Famous 70's TG with the Andy Warhol tribe. She's also mentioned ("she was everybody's darling"). She was very pretty, but she died of leukemia before she was 30.

As a newbie I'm reviving this thread with my personal favourite:
The Talk of all the USA by Middle of the Road. Yes, the people who gave us the unforgivable Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep. The denoument comes in the last verse: When I got there before my very eyes I tell you man I got myself a big surprise, Julie had that something other girls didn't have. She's a woman - no no no! It's a catchy tune with some maniacal piano playing. And what about Miss Amanda Jones by The Rolling Stones? Believed to be about Amanda Lear - who gets a few mentions on this site. Going back to Lola - this was originally banned in the UK. Not becasue it was about a transvestite, but because the lyric said "It tastes just like Coca-Cola". Not allowed to advertise, they had to change it to cherry cola, which didn't exist at that time. Anyone who's ever had cherry cola will probably wish it had been left that way. |
