Emily St. James: I'm working on a project rife with heterosexuality, and I need to know: What are the _most_ heterosexual songs that still rule?

Entirety of Springsteen catalog?

Jack and Diane (John Cougar Mellencamp)?

Look, I understand why and how Prince is queer-coded, but Raspberry Beret is a sweatily heterosexual song.

Even more so in the Hindu Love Gods cover.

lots of Bruce songs but definitely “thunder road”

As I read this, Lit - My Own Worst Enemy and an early 2000s comedy trailer played in my head. I don't know what it means, but it's a banger.

Definitely a heterosexual man's anthem

"You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC

"Hot For Teacher" by Van Halen and "Centerfold" by J. Geils Band still do it for me.

Rob Thomas-Smooth

Sorry, missed the “still rules” part of the question. Take it back!

I’m gonna go with Push It by Salt-n-Pepa

Ooh, a winner

Sorry, had to return with the most heterosexual song of INXS' career of making those: www.youtube.com/watch?v=F93y...

This is tougher than I thought it would be - turns out a lot of supposedly straight lyrics can be viewed as queer from a properly selected angle. So far, the two most famous songs I can think of that are hardest to queer are Irving Berlin's "You Can Have Him" and Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer".

Ms Jackson by OutKast?

“Slow Ride” - Foghat; "Walk This Way"- Aerosmith; "Stray Cat Blues" - The Rolling Stones

Thin Lizzy -Jailbreak is still the most uncut “dudes gonna go out and have some beer and sex” song (except for that other song about the same thing on their album)

Depending on how far you want to go back, there’s always Just A Gigolo, from Louis Prima.

At least until David Lee Roth gets to it. David Lee Roth is, as far as I know, a heterosexual, and yet his command of high camp is astonishing.

“Me and Mrs. Jones”

No Self-Esteem by The Offspring.

Ooof

Would Mr Brightside qualify?

Two parts to this 1) absurdly heterosexual, but, crucially 2) still good. I am going to go for the furious guitar bombast of November Rain. I might have gone for Thunderstruck, but for the band’s name causing problems re 1 above.

The Stranglers - Peachesm.youtube.com "Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches".... caminando por las playas mirando duraznitos... peaches-bitches.

Chumbawumba.

Not sure if this fits any of the criteria, but the first thing to jump into my head is “Strutter."

Pour Some Sugar On Me.

Paradise by the Dashboard Light. It's got it all - cars, baseball, resenting your partner.

Allman Brothers-Blue Sky Allman Brothers-Melissa Kinda just the Allman Brothers

Also all of Aja.

80s hair metal feels exclusively hetero. Cum on Feel the Noize. Rock me like a Hurricane. You shook me all night long.
