I was thinking that although there's a few tgirl anthems. Shania Twain's "Man I Feel Like a Woman" and Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Wanna Have Fun" spring to mind. There aren't many actual songs which are specifically about tgirls and what it means to be one. As a result I was thinking we should take classic pop songs and revise the lyrics so they become tgirl hits in their own right. To kick things off how about this reworking of a Katy Perry hit. "I dressed as a girl and I liked it. Hope my girlfriend don't mind it."

Thanks to Adele Cinnamon, who a late night chat with, inspired this post.

Oooo good girl, you did it. I'll try to come up with something before I log off tonight.

Thank you sweetheart.

:-D

Ok, not great, but I'm giving it a go:


This Is What Makes T Girls - Lana Adele Ray


Remember how we used to dress up at night?
Sneaking out looking for clothes to hide from the wife
Drinking in our image in the firelight
(packet of Blue Ribbon will have to suffice)

Size sixteen dress has just arrived
Walking down the street in heels that are crazy High, high!
Stealin' strange glances from the senior guys
“Peaches darling” we managed to make it out alive

There she was my new best T-friend
High heels in her hands and p**sing in the wind
While she starts to cry, mascara runnin' down her little Bambi eyes:
F**k, a brush hurts when you get it in ya eye.

Chorus…

This is what makes us T-girls
We all look delicious as we put on the sussy’s first
Somethin' that we'd die for, it's our curse
Don't lie about it, do lie about it?
This is what makes us Tgirls
We’ll stick together 'cause we put our safety first
Don't cry about him, you’re Jess you’re not Jim
It's all going wappy!

And that's where the beginning of Jess begun
Nobody knew that we had false tits and a false bum
We were skippin' work and dressin' up on the job
(With the boss)

Size sixteen dress had just arrived...........etc

Not bad? That's bloody brilliant Adele. Your talents are clearly wasted on here x

Hahaha thank you. We'll keep at this thread and hopefully others will give it a go.

I was a bit nervous of making it too humorous. I didn't want to upset anyone.

Well if no one else joins in it can be our little bit of fun. I think your lyrics were very sensitive and in no way insulting. I think there is humour in being a tgirl but not in that "ooh aren't trannies all outrageous and good for a laugh" way we're often portrayed x

Well my darling, time for me to go to bed. I'm wrecked and Lord knows I need my beauty sleep.

Night night Michelle

Just off the top of my head there are quite a few Tgirl anthems; ones that spring to mind are

Lola, Walk on the wild side, Dedicated follower of fashion, quite a few Bowie or Boy George songs,,and of course the Troggs "Wild Thing"

Why not have a look at Anne Nicholls: Deceivers All in the Articles section here...after all you can be shocked by all things new.... and is anything new.... even if we rediscover it anew...

Not an anthem but I played "Walking round in women's underwear" and no-one noticed; they thought it was bit short. Would love to make it a bit longer and see what happened if it got played in public?!

Just Like a Woman - Bob Dylan

Brilliant work on This is what makes ...Adele. It must have taken you ages. Well done. X

Anyone got the lyrics to "Fuck You" by Lilly Allen. Overheard them this afternoon and thought they'd only need a little changing to be sung by every TGirl.

True. Here are the originals. No changes made:

Look inside
Look inside your tiny mind
Now look a bit harder
'Cause we're so uninspired
So sick and tired of all the hatred you harbour

So you say
It's not okay to be gay
Well, I think you're just evil
You're just some racist who can't tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval

Fuck you (Fuck you)
Fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So, please don't stay in touch

Fuck you (Fuck you)
Fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So, please don't stay in touch

Do you get
Do you get a little kick out of being small-minded?
You want to be like your father
It's approval you're after
Well, that's not how you find it

Do you
Do you really enjoy living a life that's so hateful?
'Cause there's a hole where your soul should be
You're losing control a bit
And it's really distasteful

Fuck you (Fuck you)
Fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So, please don't stay in touch

Fuck you (Fuck you)
Fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So, please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you...

You say
You think we need to go to war
Well, you're already in one
'Cause it's people like you that need to get slew
No one wants your opinion

Fuck you (Fuck you)
Fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So, please don't stay in touch

Fuck you (Fuck you)
Fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So, please don't stay in touch

Fuck you (Fuck you)
Fuck you (Fuck you)
Fuck you (Fuck you)

Fuck you (Fuck you)
Fuck you (Fuck you)

Thank you Sarah. It wasn't that hard. Do as you have just done with the lyrics and go through changing them a little.

xxxx

Thanks Sarah. I ain't no lyricist but will try to rework that over the weekend. But it almost works on its own now.

Walking after Midnight by Patsy Cline is surely one of our top tunes!

King for a Day, by Greenday.

Started at the age of four
My mother went to the grocery store
Went sneaking through her bedroom door to find something in a size four

Sugar and spice and everything nice wasn't made for only girls
GI Joe in panty hose is making room for the one and only

King for a day, princess by dawn
King for a day in a leather thong
King for a day, princess by dawn
Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me

My daddy threw me in therapy
He thinks I'm not a real man
Who put the drag in the drag queen
Don't knock it until you tried it on

Sugar and spice and everything nice wasn't made for only girls
GI Joe in panty hose is making room for the one and only

King for a day, princess by dawn
King for a day in a leather thong
King for a day, princess by dawn
Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me

Sugar and spice and everything nice wasn't made for only girls
GI Joe in panty hose is making room for the one and only

King for a day, princess by dawn
King for a day in a leather thong
King for a day, princess by dawn
King for a day in a leather thong
King for a day, princess by dawn
King for a day in a leather thong
King for a day, princess by dawn
Just wait 'til all the guys
Just wait 'til all the guys
Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me

I'm guessing here...but I think Billy is a cross dresser - especially given his ability with eyeliner.
