13 BEATLE OR SOLO SONGS THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE RENAMED IF A FEMALE COVERED IT

 

1. And I Love Her (Him)

2. Girl (Boy)

3. I Want You (She’s So Heavy) – (The “she” is replaced with “him”)

4. Jealous Guy (Girl)

5. He’s a Man (…who understands/He’s a man who loves his wo-man…)

6. Mother Nature’s Son (Daughter)

7. I saw Her (him) standing there (… maybe the adverb would have to be changed too…)

8. I Wanna Be Your Man (Woman )

9. Another Girl (“girl” replaced with “boy”)

10. She’s Leaving Home (He’s)

11. Thank You Boy (Lad, Man)

12. To Know Her Is to Love Her (Him which was the original lyric)

[I really want ‘Boys ‘ in, my deep stubborn pedantic entity wants to enter it just to cause confusion, be annoying and cause a load of questions to be asked. But in respect to one and all on this thread…]

13. And Your Guy Can Sing.

 

It should also be noted that females have covered Beatles songs and kept the original gender.

  

I would question #10.  Singer is a storyteller and could be any gender.  Also for She Loves You , singer is a third party outside the relationship.  That could be any gender too.  #13 is just forcing things to end the category. I thought we would have considered the context of the overall lyrics rather than any automatic gender switch.  That’s why I ruled out those songs as well as Nowhere Girl.  Are there no deep cuts from the solo albums?  I admit I’ve been too busy to go through them.  Oh well.  Let’s move on.

  

@Jolly Jimmy, I get your point. How about we move this to the Song Trivia thread and find a few more songs?
