A Letter to UB: Gender Questioning Tunes

Bra

From the DO: Just read your on the night shift and your looking for a Top Ten list to write about and thought I'd try and give you some ideas. Top Ten Songs that are great, but could make you question your sexuality, and if number one isn't Barbie Girl or Hanson I'd be surprised, I'd listen to MM bop right now and just jam, even though those floppy haired blondes look like the children of the corn...creeps.

DO, While UB has pulled a Michael Holly and listened to a few rounds of "Bringing Sexy Back," he wouldn't go as far to say he questioned his sexuality. Though listening to Dale and Holly can make you question your manhood. As for Mmmm Bob or Barbie Girl, UB could do them at a karaoke jam without much trouble, which is sad. As for a Top 10 of embarrassing songs, the list would go well beyond 10 of crap that for some reason or another UB once downloaded or stopped flipping the dial to hear the end of over the years...But in the interest of answering your question, here are a few that have stood out:

Billy Vera: "At this Moment"

This one has been locked into UB's brain since he saw that episode of Family Ties when he was 9 or 10. Now every time it comes on, the radio stops and UB is forced to belt out, "I would give up TWENTY YEEEEARS OF MYYYY LIIIIFE!!!!"

Peter Gabriel: "In Your Eyes"

This one is embarrassing. Would rank high on the pathetic scale. But UB got roped in to watching Say Anything in high school and you just gotta love Lloyd's balls out attitude. Making the call in the bathroom, stumbling over his words. Hits close to home.

Poison: "Every Rose has a Thorn"

There's not too many "Monster Ballads" that UB wouldn't stop flipping the radio stations in the car and start singing. These songs from Mid 80s hair bands are like time warp classics. (UB feels less bad after seeing Otto use it on his girlfriend while hanging out of his bus on the Simpsons and Bill and Ted using it to impress God in Bogus Journey...)

Walking on Sunshine: "Katrina and the Waves"

This one is just a favorite, always reminds UB of "Secret of My Success." Oh crap, that's two songs linked to Michael J. Fox...

Anything Phil Collins:

He's coming to Boston and UB's trying to get tickets. Do you think he'll have the Ultimate Warrior come out on stage to beat the crap out of him like in this video? Is this the strangest cross promotional gimmick of all times?

Well DO, there's your peek at UB's feminine side...What can he possibly do to get that manly feeling back?

Better

Ah, that's better...
