Are there any popular songs implicitly about bisexuality?

Cafe Society

Halsey’s Bad at Love
The first verse is about two guys with whom she couldn’t make it work

“Got a boy back home in Michigan
And it tastes like Jack when I’m kissing him”

and the second is about two girls.

“Got a girl with California eyes
And I thought that she could really be the one this time”

22

Janelle Monae’s “Make Me Feel”

23

Panic! At the Disco!, Girls/Girls/Boys
Girls love girls and boys
Girls love girls and boys
And never did I think that I
Would be caught in the way you got me
But girls love girls and boys
And love is not a choice

24

I Do Both Jay And Jane

“Ain’t no shame in my game.
I do both Jay and Jane.”

25

There are men who love women who love men
There are women who love women every now and then
There are men who love men because they can’t pretend
They are men who love women who love men
– Steve Goodman

P-p-p pokerface p-p-pokerface

  • She suggested that the song dealt with her personal experience with bisexuality. The idea behind the song was to be with a man but fantasizing about a woman, hence the man in the song needs to read her “Poker Face” to understand what is going through her mind.[5]*

Meshell Ndegeocello’s version of Who is he and what is he to you? The person being addressed is the presumably bisexual person, the singer being a woman.

28

Lou Reed:
“Holly came from Miami Fla.
Hitchhiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs then he was a she.”

29

Two that became hits from Australian bands:

'I like it both ways’ by Supernaut [1976]

‘Scar’ by Missy Higgins [2007]

I don’t really know any of the lyrics well but I was thinking Velvet Underground would have something.

31

Lou Reed also has something from later, maybe it’s on New York that mentions “TV whores.” Which is generally assumed to be trans.

32

I think songs about trans people is a different subject than songs about bisexuality.

ETA: the song you mentioned is “Dirty Boulevard”, and the line is “The TV whores are calling the cops out for a suck”.

33

You men eat your dinner,
Eat your pork and beans.
I eat more chicken
Than any man ever seen.

“Backdoor Man” by the Doors

34

I just read the lyrics to Walk on the Wild Side, and some info about it. Little Joe is a reference to Joe Dallesandro, an actor in underground movies who is openly bisexual. The other people referenced were real associates of Andy Warhol like Joe. So I think the song qualifies even though Holly, who was mentioned in the posted lyrics was explicitly trans.

35

Sizzy Rocket, “Bestie”

Oh my God, she’s looking amazing
'Cause tonight she’s got a really tight dress on
And she likes to dance, she’s dancing up on me
With her thighs and then I realize
I want to fuck… fuck… fuck my best friend

36

Now I’m wondering if this is what Weezer references in the song Pork n’ Beans.

37

The singer is a lesbian, talking about her girlfriend seeing another woman.

38

“Trans” and “bisexual” are really not at all the same thing.

39

LOLA by the Kinks.

Again… Trans and bisexual are really not at all the same thing.
