Men: Feminine songs

What makes a song too feminine?
Are there any songs you like that are clearly aimed towards women/girls?
Do you ever feel ashamed listening or singing along with these sorta songs?

And whatever questions I didn't ask on the topic

 

Naw Duck, you're just too girly man!

 

alanis morissette

 

Deerhoof
The Cardigans
Mice Parade
Cranes
^^all great bands

A lot of these indie shoegazing bands have for many years adopted a very girly sound, it seems to work well with screaming grunge guitars for some reason.

Take the band Cranes for instance, who combine the sweet angelic vocals of Shaw Shaw with screaming guitars, a sort of interesting balance between musical styles that take the feminine and masculine to the extreme. The reciprocal of this would be something like Tom Araya from Slayer screaming along to twinkle twinkle little star, which i don't think would quite work so well.

 

I'm not a guy, but if you are singing along to a song and it says anything about, "My man", "This boy", "He", or "I have cramps like a fucking bitch", it's likely too feminine.

 

"I had my period todayyyy, oh aye oh aye....
..... c'mon sing it with me!!!!!"

These songs are clearly girly, but I don't give a shit, they're good songs. She has a good voice too. I'm not ashamed at all.

I can't say I'm too fond of her new attempts, though.

 

it's fine, i'm ashamed for you.

 

Thanks man. I appreciate the effort, but I know you have a lot of your own things to be ashamed of. I could never ask you to be ashamed for me on top of all that.

Thanks though

 

Dammit, Lunar, quit being so amusingly witty, I can't rep every post you make.

 

that's hardly witty and more a general matter of fact.

 

since someone put up the slits [thanks!] i'll go back to my teens:

as far as the original question goes, yeah, i love reggae but cannot take one of its subgenre, lovers rock

and i hate northern soul about as much . . .

 

I like all types of music and I can definitely get behind a good female voice. I like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and numerous other female singers...I am not ashamed to say I like it. One of my friends will only listen to music sung by men and tried to give me a dirty look. I turned it around as saying I would rather imagine those female singers are singing about me...lol

 

It can be funny if you have a really bad song on the radio in the summer and you know people heard it at a stop light. I wouldn't say I'm ashamed.

and I didn't know how smoking hot this chick is before searching for this song, thanks!
What are your favorite girly songs Duck?

 

Gotta wonder about that.

Been getting into a bit of smooth jazz rhythms recently from the likes of these sheilas. Have to draw the line at Sade, but these ladies have definitely got style.

Sia Furler, Liz Janes, Joan As Policewoman, Britta Persson anyone?

 

Songs that shatter my masculine image are my real favorites
