At this point in history there’s been a billion songs from female singers about relationships. Nearly every song revolves around that topic.

Where are the songs like:

Blue Öyster Cult - Godzilla

Blue Öyster Cult - Don’t Fear The Reaper

Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song

The Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down to Georgia

Even great songs like Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac though about a witch is still about a witch & unrequited love.

One reason why I like Trip Hop is because there’s some great female voices but the lyrics aren’t always themed towards relationships. I suspect though that many of those songs are written by the guys in the band.

Everything I have stated above about female singers applies to female comedians too. They primarily joke about relationship stuff. There are no female Mitch Hedbergs joking about silly shit.

I just want to hear Shakira or Jewel or Norah Jones sing a song about mudwrestling Satan in a dive bar in 1970s Louisiana. Ladies, where is your imagination?

      @tournesol @QueenB Male artists keep writing about love, and this is disgusting. Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You, OneRepublic’s Counting Stars, Eminem’s Mockingbird (fatherly love), Snoop Dogg’s Beautiful, Linkin Park’s Numb… All this shit makes me want to puke, where are REAL men?? At least the ladies know how to do it, they should learn from Britney, at least she is Toxic!

        @QueenB OMFG like almost every Zeppelin song is about fucking or a woman that’s done them wrong, driven them to drink etc.

        And please don’t use “female” to describe women unless you’re writing a police report.
