Apparently YouTube agrees...

Day 19: A cover song by the opposite gender of the original (Take two)

I am using my Second Song Pass for this one to show how it can go the other direction. The Offspring's "Self-Esteem" is a light, self-abasing, self-pitying song about a guy allowing himself to be taken advantage of by his partner because he has esteem issues. But the pop-punk staple sounds much different in Mimi Page's ethereal triphop cover, and a great example of how changing the gender changes the meaning, feeling much darker, sadder, and trapped.

"Self Esteem," Mimi Page (originally performed by The Offspring)

Day 19: A cover song by the opposite gender of the original

It took me about .2 seconds to decide that I'd use this song for this prompt. Besides, I can't go a whole month without posting a Brandi Carlile clip here. @Trekka, if she's still pinging around, knows why. This is originally an Avett Brothers song, and in her way, she very much makes it her own.

Just kidding! (Eleven seconds doesn’t count @morelikeasong )

Naughty girl, testing your limits!
You are now on Good Girls Club probation

Ooh, can I get a copy of the member's list for that? You know, for marketing purposes?

This is my favorite Offspring song. Her version is so good. Hearing her sing this part gave me goosebumps and struck a chord with me.

Now I know I should say no but
It's kind of hard when he's ready to go

Thank you for using your song pass for this.
