I never knew that the Beatles had two (count 'em, TWO)transvestite/transgender songs. And "Lola" is totally one of the best songs every :-)
ReplyDeletethey have 3 i think your forgetting Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da which has the famous line " Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
DeleteAnd in the evening she's a singer with the band."
Um, Faith, that's Molly, not Desmond.
DeleteThe implication is that Desmond's drag name is Molly.
DeleteMcCartney has confirmed it was a slip of the tongue, nothing more.
DeleteI think it's pretty well known that John Lennon and probably Paul and maybe even George all had homosexual experiences, so if anything... I'm more shocked there's only two. I was surprised David Bowie only had one I could find (maybe I missed one).
ReplyDeleteDavid Bowie also had "Rebel Rebel" which is a pretty good song, too.
DeleteWould The Damn qualify?
ReplyDeleteJet Boy, Jet Girl and a number of others..
It could go either way... so I'm sure it counts. We're very accepting around here.

I suppose you can interperate any song any way you wish, but I'm curious why you believe "Get Back" is about transgenderism. The traditional understanding is that it's about getting back to your roots & the path of life you once abandoned. Lennon himself said in an interview once that it was a re-interperatation of "Lady Madonna". I just think finding transgenderism/transvestisism in there a bit of a stretch. Too each is own I guess.
ReplyDelete"Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
ReplyDeleteBut she was another man"
It is a stretch. Most of the list is quite a stretch, to be honest. It's not easy finding many songs related to this theme, at least from the classic song catalog that most people would be familiar with.
im surprised garbage's cherry lips isn't on here
ReplyDeleteI must confess, it was a finalist.
