Gender unknown

Hoi Again:



So . . . I was just thinking of other popular songs about gender confusion / gender uncertain encounters.



"Geri" - continues in the great tradition of songs like:

1.) LOLA: by The Kinks. "I know what I am and I bet I'm a man - but so is Lola"
"Girls will be boys and boys will be girls - It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world."
"Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand why she walks like a woman and talk like a man,Oh my Lola"

2.) ANDROGYNOUS: by The Replacements/Paul Westerberg - later covered by The Crash Test Dummies.
"Here comes Dick - he's wearin' a skirt: Here comes Jane ya know she's sporting a chain,
Same hair a revolution - Same build evolution.
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss?
-And they love each other so - Androgynous."
"Something meets boy; something meets girl - They both look the same; they're overjoyed in this world

Same hair a revolution

Unisex evolution

Tomorrow who's gonna fuss?"

3.) DUDE LOOKS LIKE A LADY: Aerosmith - ? "Ooooo He was a lady!!!"

I don't quite know what the hell this song is saying.



I think Geri is pretty subtle in comparison to these literal portraits.
AND - much more sentimental, really.
It's a love song.
(Well, it started off as a love song.... before Gene changed the words!)



There are probably others I have forgotten.
