i really like when people cover songs originally sung by someone of a different gender, but don’t change the gender/pronouns of the people in the song. but the flip side of this is that one of my favorite gender-swapped covers is build me up buttercup.
the singer has changed to a woman, and the lyrics *have* changed so the song is still straight, but now it’s a song about a fuckboy named buttercup
