Songs where performer and character are different genders

The White Stripes also covered Jolene, with Jack White singing the lyrics unaltered.

I can’t recall the artist, but some time back I heard a cover of Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” by a male singer with the lyrics unchanged. I guess that could imply that the singer is a gay man who got drunk and decided to try being with a woman, but it could also just be a man singing as a woman.
