What's the ultimate CD/TG music playlist?

[Stacy Ann May]

Hi everyone!

Sometimes when we dress we like to have some of our favorite music playing in the background. Every once in a while the songs line up with our crossdressing experience. So, that got me thinking…

What would be the ultimate crossdressing/transgender music playlist?

There are a few obvious choices that jump out when one first thinks of it, but maybe there are a few tracks out there that aren’t so obvious or might not be as well known.

And, please feel free to add any songs that make you feel especially feminine for any reason, or songs that celebrate femininity in ways that make people smile.

Thanks very much for your comments!

Lola – The Kinks

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da – The Beatles (‘Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face …  ‘)

As I posted elsewhere, my personal favourite is ‘Animate’ by Rush.

 

[Anonymous]

Animate? I mean, I love the song, but…something about Rush and crossdressing doesn’t add up for me! 🙂

Rush = awesome, but not sexy.

[Jessica James]

Walk on the wild side , Lou Reed

Nancy Boy, Placebo

She, Green Day

We are not your kind, Slipknot

I’m a Green Day fanatic! King for a day is one of my favorite songs, well before I ever knew about my fiancé’s CDing! It kind of helped me lol. If Green Day can do it ..

[Smartina]

My preferences for songs whish really do reference crossdressing.

[Coral Wentworth]

Thank you Stacy, Great choices all but the one I haven’t seen is The Low Spark of High Heel Boys by Traffic One om my all time favorites. Coral

[Roxy Smith]

Aretha Franklin “You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman” (I think the wonderful Carole King wrote this song).

I like Alexis’ list.

But IMHO,

Party Boys – He’s Gonna Step On You Again

should be added.

Samantha does have her own playlist to get ready to. It’s expanding slowly, Style by Taylor Swift is a personal favourite, Lady Gaga’s born this way kicks the playlist off x x

[Bianca Everdene]

Repeating myself, but the ultimate Crossdresser song?  Stevie Nick’s- Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You?

Download it, or spin the vinyl.  Sing it to your inner self when dressing.  It’s almost like it was written for us girls.

“”You know I’d rather be alone than to be without you”.

”  “There’s no pain, there’s no doubt”

Always played that song for the special girl in my life.  ….. now l play it for the most special girl. 🙂

” if not for me, do it for the world “.

[Yanira Delgado]

One of my favorite songs to play when dressed in fem is Woman Up by Meghan Trainor. She is on my list of artists when in fem. Camila Cabello and Fifth Harmony, Ariana Grande, Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Swift, Rihanna among others.

[Alice Underwire]

Hi Everyone,

Another title is “She’s A Beauty” by the Tubes.

Alice

[Jill Marshall]

I’ll bite on this since I mentioned music in my intro page.  No particular order, depends on my mood!

Tame Impala -Yes I’m Changing.  This one is in order, highly recommend!

Beach House – Wildflower; Lemon Glow

Madonna – Live to Tell

New Order – Bizarre Love Triangle

Smiths – Ask; This Charming Man.  Morrissey turned out to be a terrible disappointment if you expect more from him than lyrics and voice. Nevertheless, I cant help liking the Smiths.

Patsy Cline, Walkin After Midnight, because that’s the only time I have!  and I have to be able to laugh at that a little.

[Mona]

Hi Jill, just had to comment on your post.  First, Tame Impala are just crazy good – love them (him?).  Also, The Smiths – enjoyed a lot of their music back in their hey day (90’s?).  Couple of their songs come to mind that might go into a playlist (although they’re probably too esoteric: Bishop in a Tutu and Some Girls are Bigger than Other (haha).

So many great songs shared on these posts.  One of my favorites that I didn’t see mentioned is “There She Goes” by The La’s.  Equally good is the cover of the song by Sixpence None The Richer.  Yes, I dance around the house to this song!

[postquote quote=355362]
This song was written in honor of Joe Walsh and his song “Song For Emma” written for his daughter who was sadly killed as a small child. Very beautiful.

[Marie Chandler]

I listen to a lot of different types of music, but for dressing, it’s a lot of disco. Maybe that’s because I grew up in the 70s. So many fun, liberating songs from that period. Highlights for me are Abba “Dancing Queen”,  Diana Ross “I’m Coming Out”, Chaka Khan “I’m Every Woman”, Sister Sledge “We Are Family”, Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King “Shame”, Sylvester “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real), Donna Summer “I Feel Love”, Tavares “More Than A Woman”, Odyssey “Native New Yorker”, Commodores “Brick House” among others.

[Laura Lovett]

So, so many

But my current favourites are

Aerosmith: Dude Looks Like a Lady

Pointer Sisters: I’m So Excited

Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes: I’ve Had the Time of my Life

 

I need to pay more attention to modern songs and performers, as I’ve heard plenty of recent stuff that really moves me while en femme, but usually on the radio while I’m driving, in a bar, or played live by busking groups.

I am going to collect a new playlist, starting now!

Love Laura

 

[Anonymous]

This ones for the girls.  Martina McBride .

I went ahead and created a Spotify playlist with my selections. Check it out!

Lou Reed – Walk on the Wild Side

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, “Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side”
Said, “Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side”

[Cherry Berry]

I can’t say that I have entire playlist dedicated to it, but some of my favorite artists that lift me up are:

– Sara Bareillis

– Courtney Act

I also enjoy Tessa Violet, but she hasn’t put out any noteworthy new music recently. Sara Bareillis did the musical “Waitress”, it has many great songs and overall just a fun musical to watch, if you’re into musicals.

[Kelli Marlowe]

Heard today on the radio as driving home, seems appropriate as it’s Saturday night and time to de-stress. REO Speedwagon’s” Can’t Fight This Feeling Anymore”

[Anonymous]

I like new music, especially deep bass and music that you literally ‘feel’ ..over tired played-out ‘classics’ So, I wouldn’t think this list would appeal to many. –

Sia ‘Chandelier’ will move you, emotionally..

Tokio hotel have some beautiful songs, sung by beautiful people! Try ‘World behind my wall’.. Or “Durch den monsoon’

I love Miley Cyrus’ new song Midnight Sky, because it’s totally relatable to my present life situation…

I like a bit of gangster type music now and then and 2 Chainz ‘I’m different’ can change my mood!…and the videos pretty sexy! lol

Ellie Goulding can transport you and take you places, try ‘Love me like you do’ When you want to feel raw female emotion. It’s beautiful..

I also love Post Malone – ‘Better now’ When I want to feel bass and blow my speakers up!

I also love The Cardigans, songs like ‘Erase and rewind’ and ‘My favourite game’ ..Just because I admire Nina Perssons so much …and at times wish I WAS her!!!

Hope this gives you some new material! 🙂

Thanks!

 

 

[Shayla Armstrong]

My song is Partition by Beyonce. It’s the song when i feel my sexiest and Shayla takes over when I’m dressed up and mouthing the words “Take all, of me, I just want to be the girl you like…”

Shalya

[Autumn Valiant]

Hi Stacy!

Here is one of my favorites songs that I think belongs on everyone’s list.

[Aoife]

one that’s really been connecting with me lately is “under new moons” by sweet crude. they’re a new band from new orleans my wife got me into and while that one is not exactly about gender, it really resonates with the kind of self-discovery we’re all exploring.

[Diane G]

Love seeet crude. I’ve see them numerous times

[Lola Caprice]

Queen! The playlist I had playing in the background when I came out to my wife. Total surprise, had not talked to her at all, just walked out in full Lola.

My CD Queen playlist:
1. Let Me Entertain You
2. Killer Queen
3. Somebody to Love
4. Don’t Stop Me Now

God bless Freddie Mercury!

I would add ‘I want to break free’ to that list, even if it’s just for the video.

Y

[Lola Caprice]

Agreed!  You just helped me round out my top five.  Such a fun video, shame on me for leaving that one out!

[Anonymous]

Just learned of another classic rock tune that references crossdressing that I hadn’t realized before: All Moving Parts by Black Sabbath! It’s on Technical Ecstasy.

Check it out!!!

[Anonymous]

Garbage – Cherry Lips.

[Malody Singrite]

Hmm… very good question. I suppose I have a few in mind…

FOR THE “JUST BEING MY SEXY SELF” MOMENTS: “Sexy Back” – Justin Timberlake
FOR A “GIRLS-NIGHT” MOMENT: “Man, I Feel Like A Woman” – Shania Twain
FOR PARTYING MOMENTS: “ADDICT” – Silva Hound (song & music video both for the YouTube series “Hazbin Hotel” posted by Vivziepop)
FOR THE “F THE HATERS!” MOMENTS: “We’re Not Gonna Take It” – Twisted Sister
FOR THE “NEVER GIVING UP” MOMENTS: “Don’t Wait” – Joey Graceffa (YouTuber)
FOR THE MOMENTS WHEN OTHERS HELP BRING OUT MY TRUE SELF: “Be Somebody” – Thousand Foot Krutch (TFK for short)
FOR THE “LOVING OTHER GIRLS” MOMENTS (EVEN IF CROSSDRESSED AS A GIRL): “I Kissed A Girl” – Katy Perry

This is just a few off the top of my head of course.

Man! I Feel Like a Woman – Shania Twain

You Need To Calm Down – Taylor Swift

I listen to these songs quite often, and I started a poll here at CDH involving them. Shania got the most votes, and I can understand why. I love her songs, and listen to them when I dress, or when I want to “Rev Up” and dance! I also love the songs:

Love Gets Me Every Time

When

Hugs, Revel

[Anonymous]

I’m just a sucker for any pop music!

“eternal flame” by the bangles,

“tide is high” by blondy
