Green Day – Basket Case [Official Music Video] (4K Upgrade)

If you’re aiming for a guy who was in a light music club back in school, this is a song well worth singing.

The chord progression is simple, so a lot of band guys have played it at least once.

The slight downside is that if you don’t have band experience yourself, he might suspect you once dated a band member.

But you can smooth it over by saying something like, “I heard you were in a band, so I added a song a female friend of mine—who used to be in a band—used to sing.”

King Gnu – Hakujitsu

This is King Gnu’s second digital single, released in February 2019.

It was also the theme song for the NTV Saturday drama “Innocence: False Accusation Lawyer.” As you know, King Gnu is a band with a male vocalist, but the high parts sung in falsetto could work perfectly well for a female singer if taken an octave lower in chest voice.

The vibe of the song would be a bit different from the original, but that’s exactly where a unique charm of a female-sung version could emerge.

It might also be nice to perform it as a duet with a male singer!
