Songs you got the sex of the singer wrong!

[chileman]

:lol: Have you heard a song on the radio maybe for the first time and they don't give you the artist/group name or it's an oldie that you are expected to know the group/artist and you've always thought the singer was a male when it was a female or vica versa??
For years I thought that the Pointer Sisters had a guy singing for them when I heard the song Automatic till I saw the music video one day
Recently (well when it first came out) when I first heard Real Good Time by Pink I thought it was a bloke singing :crazy: :lol:

 

[Godz Illa]

To Be With You - Mr Big

and

anything by Antony & The Johnsons

 

[Bastard Squad]

I remember when I first saw a Culture Club film clip I couldn't tell whether Boy George was a trannie or an ass bandit.

Turns out he was both.

 

[Samwise]

The middle Hanson brother, I thought was a chick based on his looks and his voice.

 

[Slappy]

Anyone remember Freeze with their single A-E-I-O-U!
Big dance/hip hop hit in the 80's.
A mate of mine thought a woman sung it, when it was really a guy singing in falsetto. One of his fav songs too, he saw the clip only recently and was floored!

The coma inducing Tracey Chapman caused much confusion on this topic.
Placebo fooled me for a little bit.

 

[skeepe]

Tracey Chapman... any song
Blind Melon - No Rain
Any Toni Childs song...

 

[McLovin]

Tracy Chapman was a confusing one.

A song called "Crazy" which has been on the radio lately got me as well. I thought it was a chick singing...

 

[Slappy]

When I'm with you by Sparks (another oldie)

 

[Steel Dragon]

early Placebo - even when i saw Brian Molko, i wasnt sure coz he wore a dress and make up.

and a mate of mine took some convincing that Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters was a dude (he had only heard them - not seen them)

 

[les norton]

I am still confused about Mr Big...

 

[NC]

The middle Hanson brother, I thought was a chick based on his looks and his voice.

I thought the exact same thing.

And when I first heard Shannon Noll's new song on the radio, I swear I thought it was a chick who was singing.

 

[Frederick]

A song called "Crazy" which has been on the radio lately got me as well. I thought it was a chick singing...

That would be by Gnarls Barkley...I thought the exact same thing :lol:

 

[Nevcost]

Wheatus

In one of my MMM Compilation Cds the radio dj said 'At first I though "this chick sounds hot." I couldn't wait to see the video. Not suprisingly I was a little dissapointed when "Teenage Dirtbag" came on Video Hits that morning. Who would've guessed!'

 

[strewth_mate]

James Blunt, but I ended up being right

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Grace Jones, deadset thought it was a bloke, voice, appearence etc

Another one believe it or not was Brett Michaels from Poison in his early days, that pretty face, hair, make-up...... haha

 

[Gene Krupa]

James Blunt, but I ended up being right

:lol:

 

[nöyd]

I remember when I first saw a Culture Club film clip I couldn't tell whether Boy George was a trannie or an ass bandit.

Turns out he was both.

:lol: :lol:

 

[spider]

That thing Marilyn - long blonde hair - he/she touched themself when singing.

It was spiritually and mentally disturbing.

Throw that big ass Divine in there as well i guess.

 

[newtownbluebags]

Marilyn! 1983 ~ "Calling Your Name" :lol: :crazy:

 

[chileman]

Grace Jones, deadset thought it was a bloke, voice, appearence etc

She would have made a good prop for Parra :lol: she was a scarey lass :crazy:
