I avoid modern pop music in general… But I’m sorry, I will always have a soft spot for “Baby one more time” by Britney.
I would add “I want it that way” but let’s be real, every dude secretly likes that song.
Toxic by Britney Spears. Absolute fucking banger. Musically interesting for an American pop song. Each chorus has the chords walk down, which is pretty cool, but then on the next bar something really interesting happens. Instead of walking down from the second of the four chords, there are back to back tritone substitutions! So fucking cool!
I… I agree…
I have an entire playlist that’s just covers of Toxic. It’s too good of a song.
Try the versions by Solence and Calvin Arsenia.
My favourite is when hardcore bands cover pop songs because the songs are often structured the same, so good.
If you want to hear a surf rock instrumental cover that is actually phenomenal check out The Surfrajettes. Also amazing name.
(I actually like White Houses more)
Call Me Maybe, such a banger
Would Lights by Ellie Goulding count because that song slaps
“Kiss Me” by Sixpence None The Richer
love to know how people interpret a “girl” song. my mind is all over the place atm trying to classify songs and artists. like, is Taylor Swift the bakery of girl songs? does boss bitch / bad bitch energy count within the realm of girl songs? etc.
it’s more interesting to me you think Britney Spears wasn’t marketed towards men.
Every so often I listen to Lady Gaga. I really like a few of her earlier songs but haven’t listened to most of her discography.
I hate that music and gender are somehow connected, but unfortunately that’s the world we live in. Anyone who gives me crap for listening to/doing/etc. “girly” things is a person I don’t want in my life.
Unfortunately I have experienced this quite a lot. I was even shamed for wearing the color pink, and that was a shirt for males specifically and they still thought it was “girly”. Also, I was a brony at one point (not anymore), yep, you can guess what happened.
Jolene - Dolly Parton
Straight banger
How has nobody mentioned Girls Just Wanna Have Fun yet? That bubbly energy is a great pick-me-up whenever you need it most.
I will belt that song in the car, never fails to brighten my day.
Lovefool by The Cardigans
Lover by Taylor Swift. Also Toxic by Brittany
I’ll add “Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve” by Taylor. It’s a bonus track on Midnights and easily could’ve been the title track on a different album
Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend
Cant get over it from Burnout Paradise on the PS3.
I don’t care that I’m a 30 something man. I’ll sing that and Complicated at full volume.
Played that game on my switch. I honestly don’t see what’s so great about it.
just a girl by no doubt
Have you heard her cover of Made Up Mind by the Bros. Landreth? SO fucking good!
Just listened to it and god she is amazing. Great recommendation!
Go ahead and just shoot me now…
E.T. - Katy Perry
