Counting Crows' cover of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" turns "a big yellow taxi took away my old man" to "a big yellow taxi took my girl away." This stands out as it is in no way clear that the "old man" in question is, in fact, a love interest.Male singer Magnus Uggla's Swedish version translated the lyrics literally as "Sen så kysste han mig" which gave the song a lot of Ho Yay.KISS on the other hand sang "Then She Kissed Me" when they remade the song.The Beach Boys remade the Crystals song "Then He Kissed Me" as "Then I Kissed Her.".Vanilla Fudge's cover of Sonny and Cher's "Bang Bang" is sung from the boy's perspective rather than the girl's.Postman", which changes a song about a woman begging the postman to double-check for letters from her faraway boyfriend to a song about a man begging the postman to double-check for letters from his faraway girlfriend. Not to mention their cover of The Marvelettes' "Please Mr.Another Beatles example: the obscure girl group song "Devil in His Heart" was changed to "Devil in Her Heart.".

Used by The Beatles ("my girl says when I kiss her lips.") in their cover of The Shirelles' "Boys." It's still full of Ho Yay, though.And his version of "The Lady is a Tramp", which flipped the song from being sung by the lady in question, to about her.
Sinatra also recorded "The Girl Next Door," an alternate-pronoun version of another song originally done by Judy Garland, "The Boy Next Door" from Meet Me in St.(Then again, Rufus Wainwright is openly gay, so that's not surprising.) Frank Sinatra performed "The Man That Got Away" as "The Gal That Got Away." (Aside from pronouns and such, the only difference in the lyrics was changing "A one-man woman" to "A lost, lost loser.") However, this was averted in Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright's versions.And really trying to make "Black and Blue" about anything other than the colorism black women experience doesn't work. This is averted in his live shows, however where he feels the original song is more important than the pronouns. Tony Bennett did this all over his album For the Ladies which was entirely covers of songs made famous by female singers or written for female singers.But regardless of gender it does come off with some Ho Yay subtext. Elvis Presley performing Dusty Springfield's "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" turns out pretty well, since there's no specific pronouns used.
