White Town - "Your Woman"
This song was HUGE in 1997, and I remember talking to several people about what this guy was singing about - was it a gay man who was in a relationship with a man who realized he was straight? Or a straight man who was singing to a woman who realized she was gay? Or a transgender woman who transitioned to being a man? And why did we care so much?
I found this handy White Town website that answers our long-burning question! The short version is it's all of the above, and much more! My favorite explanation is: "the hypocrisy that results when love and lust get mixed up with highbrow ideals." Now we can finally have some closure with one of the great mysteries of our time: http://www.whitetown.co.uk/faq/.
Anyway, it's still a super fun song!
