@thatcosmonaut house of the rising sun versions

dylan > animals - for this reason alone

@zoeferal @thatcosmonaut

Dolly Parton > all

@sad_bitch @thatcosmonaut well of course. i just mean men doing covers

@zoeferal @thatcosmonaut

O yeah lol. I posted my "Dolly Parton's version is best" take on twitter and got yelled at by a few people and I was like "Sorry you like the version that's only more popular because of misogyny"

@thatcosmonaut leaving the lyrics of a gay song while covering out of gender to make it straight makes you at LEAST a collaborator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biKFlDK2_pg

@thatcosmonaut I did this when I was younger and was apparently suffering from fragile masculinity but I've grown since
@thatcosmonaut What if, *hypothetically*, you make a specific effort to not only change the pronouns but also the words to a song like... I dunno, Stacy's Mom to be Stacy's Dad so that you can be extra gay about it?
