Are there songs that appeal to only one sex?

I know that it was more than a week ago that Simon Cowell referred to "I Drove All Night" as "just not a great song" Read the full post.

    Well, for the record, I’m not female. But then, I’m not a straight man either. Oh well…but notice how Cyndi mostly uses her lower register in the song. Fabulous! And the song does have a very “humid” feel to it that corresponds well with the lyric “the city was sticky and cruel(I think, for some reason, it’s the strings that do the trick as it’s literally a very heavy sound, also the spare drumming during the verses.

    Cyndi sounds much, much better than Roy, and makes the song sexy and naughty. But for the video, you have to give the edge to Jason and Jennifer – they are almost enough make Roy’s version sort of sexy, too. If only there was some way to put Cyndi’s song over Roy’s video.

    to Dinosaur – I agree about Pink Floyd but I LOVE the song “Radar Love”… and I’m a girl! (albeit a girl who watches sports and drinks beer with the guys… does that make me an aberration?)

    I’m a guy, and I have to go with Lauper’s. The video was one of the first clues I ever had that women might get turned on when I was at a very young and naive age. The part of the video where she is completely nude and has the movie projected on her bare body was an epiphany to me. I remember clearly thinking I wanted to date a woman who was that open. It was so cool.

    Cyndi’s version – love the deep voice on this one – and Orbison’s video.

    I prefer Cindy’s version among those 2 but above I like very much Celine’s one. Her version is much more alive and I’m tired to read that she sings without emotions whereas she always give heartfelt performances

    You know, this discussion may have helped me understand better why I don’t enjoy Dion.

    I prefer Cindy Laupers version.
    She always put feeling and emotion in her song and songs that other people have written.
    Cindy really sings it with heart.
    I will aways love that song and music video.
    I didn’t think Celine sung the song justice or Carly Smithson from American Idol.
    She sounds just like Celine.
    Cindy will alway be the best.
