OK flaming bi's, here's a challenge for you...

gimme some of your favorite BI-oriented music ! i'd like to start a list going, perhaps make a compilation CD :)

one of the ones that sticks out in my mind i first heard at Burning Man a couple of years ago. this really thin, tall, dark skinned guy from holland named melvin just loved the hell out of it :

BOYFRIEND
M. Redbone/ A. Whitby

mp3 | ram

standing in a starbucks line, he was sipping lemonade
he didn't give a damn about all the people or what they said
I ordered my coffee, strong and black and straight
we talked about love and garbage
and he told me that he was gay

I guess it's c'est la vie, guess I should have known
thought i'd found a lover, that's the way life goes
said he'd like to know me, see me once again
maybe we can hang...

chorus
he said i've got a boyfriend
he said i've got a boyfriend, ooh
he said i've got a boyfriend
but I kinda like girls, too...

it goes on, but you get the gist. i found the lyrics here: www.martharedbone.com/lyrics.html

    "swallow" by "my robot friend".

    wellp... um of course I'd say a shitload of Ani songs.. only because she does sing about both girls and guys... uhm... wow I dunno, I usually just do my best with songs that leave it up to the imagination, that don't specify. You'd think I'd find MORE in my head... sheesh!
