Your last post, Maria, was great!



Thanks for the effort!




Keep in mind that one doesn't have to watch all of the videos I link. If one watched 5% I'd be happy—which makes your effort particularly stand out.
(Thanks)



First one - An essential part of gay culture. Joan Jett is the leather-clad lesbian of whom all closeted girls hope she comes swaggernig into their lives to take them away on a motorbike
Agreed. Hair more like Pat Benatar circa 1980 that perhaps Carole Pope ever had. Susanna Hoffs's eyes.

As for leather-clad lesbian of whom all closeted girls hope she comes swaggering into their lives to take them away on a motorbike:
Spoiler for k.d.lang - Just Keep Me Moving ( wild planet mix ):


Second one - To this dear singer: a leather jacket does not make you Joan Jett (I know, I tried). Especially with that voice. And bald guys walking by in the background. Good luck with the leg cramps you seem to have.
Agreed. I'm perhaps one of those rare foot fetishist who finds high heels a turn-off. Maybe docs might make her look more edgy—hiking boots are also good.

Third one - Don't we get a music video? What's up with her hair? Whatever
I was thinking—perhaps erroneously—that the audio might be better. Sometimes YT videos with stills have better audios than the video ones. At times I like black hair when it's a bit frosted. (See my introductory thread—the post with Peter Steele—while it lasts.)

Fourth one - the only stars in this band are on that guitar. A tambourine? Those backing vocals are really... out there. At least they seem to find their own music funny
Sweet Jane. Starts off sounding a bit like a mash. Pity Margop Timmins wasn' there.
Spoiler for Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane (Official Video):


Fifth one - Is it one of Miley's provocative image publicity stunts? Is it genuine? I don't know. Joan does not look into it a 3:18
Probably. Partially, I presume: she's likely having fun, at least in a sardonic way. (I wonder if Joan would like to do Miley—just my imagination, running away with me.)

Something
First one - These overly sincere looks into the camera make me uncomfortable. At least she has freckles
Something in the way she looks at the camera.

Second one - This girl looks like a quasi-gay Luna Lovegood. That instrument and tempo do not fit this song, my dear. Love is not a walk on a beach with palms. The singing of the guitar solo was pretty funny though. Didn't stay for the talking. Where does the background singing voice come from? #spooked
She multi-tracks. You'll see it in the other videos of hers I posted—kinda funny.

Third one - Another ukelele?! This one seems to understand better that love is pain though
Of all of them that cover Something, her voice sounds (to me at least) most like Natalie Merchant. What's that thing on her ukulele: a capo?

Fouth one - ANOTHER UKELELE. What about this song makes people think 'ukelele'? The lead singer's voice is pleasant but stop trying to seduce the camera. The nonchalant 14 year old drummer chick is cool
It might be the person behind the camera.


Sixth - Oh no Holly that voice is too chipmunk-y. This guitar line gets sung by
what sounds like apathetic angels?

It's almost a capella.

Seventh - WWWP might be able to translate the Spanish, I'm not. That one girl sits awkwardly when the other sings. She should have played a tambourine. That whistling hahahaha
WWWP: wazat? Otherwise, agreed.

Ain't she sweet
*David Attenborough voice*: Here we see a young closet lesbian before escaping her gender-normative environment. This girl is like a walking meme. Let's call her Stacey Bracey. Is it adorable or cringy? Both, but I guess she gets away with the cringiness because she's just a kid

(Wizards only beyond this point.)



When I re-edit the OP to include the names, I'll not only restore the link to [that other forum] but also to your post.

I'm likely to create more threads in either this [and that other] forums, or just that other forum such as:

ambiguously lesbic songs

Spoiler for Bif Naked - We Are The Lucky Ones:

English might not be their first language.
Spoiler for I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor (russian accent cover and cool music video):

Spoiler for t.A.T.u. How Soon Is Now:


For me, the only problem with that song is a guitar riff that gives me the urge to listen to Cult's Love (but strangely not Billy Idol's Flesh for Fantasy) soon, if not immediately after. For those who might have the same or similar urges:
Spoiler for The Cult - Love:



2:35 long, most of it is in English
Spoiler for Albert Hammond - Necesito Poder Respirar (The air that I breathe) 1977:


Btw, Radiohead does a unique cover of that song. Here's a (young attractive) woman doing a cover of that derivation with a ukulele:
Spoiler for Creep - Radiohead (with a ukulele). Covered by Lisa V:
