Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Don't tell Felix this, but I am buying him a cd player for his car (I am going to install it myself on Christmas morning when I come back from work).

In doing this, I want to make a Mix tape for him. I need songs for an f2m.

So far I got:

I'm your lady (and you are my man)
My guy
Let's hear it for the boy

I need more. Like 13 more. Macho things. Maybe Macho, macho man, but isn't that a gay anthem?

Comments

Hmm...

Given I have no idea of Felix's tastes in music I'll just try throwing out some songs that might fit f2m. Please don't hate me if they're way inappropriate :o

Not macho, but the theme might fight:Beyonce - If I were a Boy

NIN - Big Man with a Gun

ZZ-Top - Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers

Sorta off to the side: Pearl Jam - Animal

A theme going here, I think... WASP - Animal (**** like a beast)

Rose Tattoo - Bad Boy for Love

NIN - Closer

AC/DC - Big Balls

Thin Lizzy - The Boys are Back in Town

Motorhead - Ace of Spades

ZZTop

Sharp Dressed Man, from pictures, I think Felix is a bit of a du-u-ude. :)

Of course.

Totally blanked on Sharp Dressed Man as I was trying to think of music.

John Fogerty

Rambunctious Boy
Centerfield

Oh please do tell us your selections.

Man's Music

I hope you find room for the greatest US band of them all. The Beach Boys wrote dozens of songs about what it is to be a real man rather than a jerk.

Here are three of my favourites.

'Your Summer Dream' is a proper 'man's song'. Advice from an older brother. And if Felix drives his car down to the sea and finds a pretty shell for you...

Ban nothing. Question everything.

Dislocated Boy?

It's by Joe Bonamassa. One of my very favorite guitarists!!!;D

Just ask Bailey?;0

As another guitar player and serious blues fan, the song just seems to speak to both sides,(and the middle?) of any type of spectrum you may be a part of.;)

Appropriate Songs

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Kind of Man
Filter - Hey Man Nice Shot
Tenacious D - Dude (I Totally Miss You) and/or Wonderboy
DMX - X Gon' Give It To Ya (come on, every guy I know sings along to this)
Dio - Holy Diver
Flight of the Conchords - Prince of Parties
Billy Squier - The Stroke
The Atomic Fireballs - Man With The Hex
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Hell of a Hat
Rancid - Time Bomb

Maybe some of those will be appropriate?

Melanie E.

EDIT:
Late addition!
Placebo - Twentieth Century Boy (T-Rex Cover)
Pantera - Walk
Metallica - Unforgiven

Maybe not all happy songs, but good ones?

What about.....
