a request for some music

Flist, I need a favor from you, if possible, for my Politics of Sexuality class.

From the perspective of Queer Theory, create a “playlist” of at least 5 songs (and no more than 10 songs), which challenge the dominant construction of sexuality in American culture. Explain how the songs that you have selected contribute to the construction of sexual identities and whether they do, in fact, represent a form of cultural politics.


Can any of you who have songs that you feel challenge heterosexuality, heteronormativity, etc. please upload them for me? I've realized that I have an abysmal lack of appropriate songs. One I do have that I hope serves as an example is "The Pipettes - School Uniform" whose lyrics contain the following:

I like a girl in uniform (school uniform)
I like a boy in uniform (school uniform)
'Cause not everything is uniform (school uniform)
I wanna kiss everyone in uniform


This challenges the dominant idea that sexuality is attraction directed at only one gender (the opposite gender). So anything similar to this would be helfpul. Another song I thought I might use is "tatu - Malchik Gay". So if could help, thank you! :D


For once, a non-SuJu related post! Shocking! (For the record though, I am crazy in love with Donghae at the moment. Has anyone subbed the Sohu StarChat yet? Must inflict on the flist...)
