Was just about to recommend Little Miss Perfect, but looks like some people beat me to it! It is really good though, and you should totally check it out! The actually musical isn't released yet, but some of the songs have!
if u use spotify, there's actually two playlists "boys will be girls" and "girls will be boys", the first being boys singing songs about boys without changing the pronouns, and the second being girls singing songs about girls without changing the pronouns!
As a gay guy I've created my own gay version in my head. For example: "You can't be too careful when sharing your strife. I could end up with a miserable life!" "What if he escaped from an institution somewhere where they don't have gays!" Etc. Etc. And honestly it's exactly how my anxiety of dating is. 🤣
Honestly "somewhere where they dont have gays" works with both gay versions, cus like the girls one doesnt make much sense when sapphic, cus like, if shes in an institution wouldnt it all be girls?
I finally got the courage to ask my best friend out! She said yes. I’ve always been terrified of love, but she’s changed that. Something about her is just so.. comforting. Anyway, this is amazing timing! I used to relate to this song every time I sang it, and now I get to look back on it and know it’s possible to love even with insecurity. :D
Wow, I don’t know how youtube knew to lead me to this comment, but I’m about to confess to my own best friend. You’ve given me an extra confidence boost today, stranger.
YES YES YES I LOVE YOU EIRY HAPPY LAST DAY OF PRIDE MONTH OH MY GOD THANK YOU FOR THE HEART YOU ARE LITERALLY MY IDOL AOHSHAHDGJAJDH WAIT NO THE HEART EIRY THE HEART
once again, an amazing song. made 1000% better by Eiry’s “but it’s gay,” and made 10000% better by adding the concept of internalized homophobia and just bringing sm depth. because god, as much as internalized homophobia leaves a terrible taste in our mouths, it adds the perfect flavor to a piece of media idk
when I was like 12 I dreamed of being a singer or some shit so I could cover every song I love and make it gay, I'm so happy to be able to listen to your "but it's gay" covers and imagining wlw people of all age finding songs to relate to makes my heart flutter 💗 thank you 💗
i love that she takes songs and puts them in her range. As an alto who could never dream of reaching some of the solo songs on broadway it makes me feel nice! : D
This version feels a lot like wlw crushing on a girl she thinks is straight (but there's always that kernel of doubt). "Guessing games" "To only get it given back" "But I'm just fine inside my shell-shaped mind, this way I get the best view" "An institution somewhere where they dont have girls!!"
I SAW THE TITLE AND THOUGHT OF “ME AND MY HUSBAND” BY MITSKI. do you think you could make this song gay? it’s such a sweet song but imo would be better gay~ lovely singing reinaeiry i cant wait to hear your voice more! have a great day :)
this is giving me so many ideas for my sci-fi lesbians and how they meet, where, why, etc. I thank you sincerely, these covers give me so much inspiration.
Unironically the best southern accent I've heard. Usually they're so over the top, I like the subtle approach. It's actually not obnoxious for once. Amazing cover
My yeehaw heart loves the accent! As I've never heard your country accent attempts before, idk your progress, but I'm genuinely impressed! Hope to hear more of it 🧡
DUDE!! I was literally singing a gay version of this song and ones with neos yesterday and wishing a cover like that existed. UGH I'm SO happy I found this, also your singing is awesome!!
fun fact: this got me into waitress, and Ogie is my absolute kinnie. I literally sing never ever getting rid of me on repeat every single day. In the words of Gerard Way, I'm not okay.
REINAEIRY, ~[*inhales deeply*]~ YOUR VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL, YOUR BELTING IS SUPERB (so don't you dare question yourself), AND YOU ARE ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING AND INSPIRING PEOPLE I KNOW!!! Sorry, just thought you needed to hear that because you are my favourite artist and I adore your songs 👏👏✨
Doing the (gay) lords work. Thank you love for existing. My teen gay self woulda loved this shit so much. Late twenties gay self rn loves this a lot too haha.
You're doing gods work, but also I am so grateful that you don't change the main singing melody like so many covers do (it's my biggest pet peeve ever), ppl can sing along much easier and it isn't jarring like doing a random key change does. I love these "but it's gay" songs
@@jinxtanjams3619 I'm not speaking about range! Don't get me wrong. As much as I love the concept of "making the song your own" I am talking about ex. Making a long note shorter, or unecessarily lengthening a word, kind of as if someone changed og."haaalleluujaaaaah" into "halleluuuuujah" or "haaaaaaalleluja." type things. Like literally changing the melody :) /gen /nm
HELL YEAH! I love imagining dawn as a shy lil baby gay. I didn't think she could be any cuter. You get the gay internet mother seal of approval queen Reinaeiry.
When he sees me was literally always my theme song when I was crushing and then I found out I like girls too. We just vibe to such an amazing masterpiece
the fact that I was just thinking about how much I need something like this and hadn't even searched for it and it still came up in my recommended is amazing.
Oh my goodness. The coming out of hiding line feels so much more impactful in this version because it shows a fear of coming out of the closet. 'Opens up a door and I can't close it' aaaah I love this so much
I used to sing this song like this because I connected with it in all ways except for the when HE sees me! Gonna be listening to this on repeat from now on.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED, I was listening to waitress for like the billionth time and thought "I would kill for a wlw version of when she sees me" AND YOU DID THIS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH REINAEIRY.
I swear just the other day I said to my mom that you needed to make a cover of this song.....AND YOU ACTUALLY DID!!! I love you Reinaeiry!!! You are literally fire!!
Country girl I luh youUUUuuuUU
LYRICS:
I stick with real things
Usually facts and figures
When information's in its place
I minimize the guessing game
Guess what?
I don't like guessing games
Or when I feel things
Before I know the feelings
How am I supposed to operate
If I'm just tossed around by fate?
Like on an unexpected date?
With the stranger who might talk too fast
Or ask me questions about myself
Before I've decided that
She can ask me questions about myself
She might sit too close
Or call the waiter by his first name
Or eat Oreos
But eat the cookie before the cream?
But what scares me the most
what scares me the most
Is what if when she sees me, what if she doesn't like it?
What if she runs the other way and I can't hide from it?
What happens then?
If when she knows me, she’s only disappointed?
What if I give myself away, to only get it given back?
I couldn't live with that
So, I'm just fine, inside my shell-shaped mind
This way I get the best view
So that, when she sees me, I want her to
And you may be asking yourself,
"Dawn don't you think you're being a little defensive??"
And UGh! i'm not defensive!
I'm simply being cautious
I can't risk reckless dating
Due to my miscalculating why
a certain stranger stands in line
I've seen in movies
Most made for television
You cannot be too careful
When it comes to sharing your life
I could end up a miserable wife
(oop, sorry girls!)
But she could be criminal, some sort of psychopath
who escaped from an institution,
somewhere where they don't have girls
She could have masterminded some way to find me
She could be colorblind!
How untrustworthy is that
She could be less than kind
Or even worse she could be very nice, have lovely eyes
And make me laugh, come out of hiding
What do I do with that?
Oh, God
What if when she sees me
I like her and she knows it?
What if she opens up a door
And I can't close it?
What happens then?
If when she holds me
My heart is set in motion
I'm not prepared for that
I'm scared of breaking open
But still I can't help from hoping
To find someone to talk to
Who likes the way I am
Someone who when she sees me
Wants to again
Eeeeeek!!!!!!!!! 🥰
This is beautiful cover! I was totally holding my breath _(:з」∠)_such a wonderful voice.
THANK U SO MUCH OMFG
Reinaeiry did you know I am gay because goddamit I really am-
Omg I literally just woke up with this song in my head and then opened youtube to your cover
we really need a musical about some sort of budding gay relationship, all of your 'but it's gay' songs have only fueled that desire in me.
One caveat. Not a coming out story
@@mme.veronica735 Ye, good point. Make it the same sort of plot as you'd get with a straight romance!
Check out Little Miss Perfect!
i know someone already said it but check out little miss perfect!
It's like the prom but the songs hit harder
Was just about to recommend Little Miss Perfect, but looks like some people beat me to it! It is really good though, and you should totally check it out! The actually musical isn't released yet, but some of the songs have!
I used to sing this song changing the pronouns to she/her as a kid, *cause that’s totally normal straight people behavior*
Ah yes, a fellow straight, experiencing very straight experiences
Hahaha hello fellow heterosexuals it's me your fellow heterosexual homosapien 👍👍👍
I actually did the exact same thing, but at the time it was straight. If I did it now it's definitely not straight
@@cadencurtis6784 Yes, yes, only heterosexual conduct
@AND ANDREY ISN'T HERE it did come out five years ago
I WAITED MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS COVER OH MY GOD
Same here !! This is amazing
Same!!
Same
This was the exact sentence I said before I clicked!
Omygad yesssssss 😭😭😭😭✨✨✨
Not to be gay, but holy shit. I didn't realise I needed this. Thank you
No homo tho

SPITTING FACTS
1:38 oh my gosh I don't know why but having Dawn have her own lil internal monologue going instead of Jenna talking just MAKES this cover
I WAS JUST LISTENING TO JOLENE AND THOUGHT. "Hey I need more gay in my life"
i’ve never heard the original song, but after this, i don’t know if i want to
That was me with this and Rainbow Connection
@@yee-raplantar-maximoff4318 i love the username and the pfp
@@numerous_bees1070 Thanks! :)
when I was like 12 I dreamed of being a singer or some shit so I could cover every song I love and make it gay, I'm so happy to be able to listen to your "but it's gay" covers and imagining wlw people of all age finding songs to relate to makes my heart flutter 💗 thank you 💗
Okay when they sang the part that says "Oh god," at 2:38, I got extreme MARINA vibes. Like damn. Your voice is beautiful.
This songs like a song about a girl in the closet who’s scared to come out even though she’s in love.
The amount of emotion in this cover and your other songs is perfection❤️
this is literally a gay panic as a song. congrats, you did it. you yassified a gay panic.
Yes, another beautiful masterpiece.
the discord server, who's been requesting this song since the beginning of time, is crying real tears rn
i love that she takes songs and puts them in her range. As an alto who could never dream of reaching some of the solo songs on broadway it makes me feel nice! : D
Reinaeiry: *Updates*
My skin clears, my grades rise, and homophobes disappears 🥰😊😌
This version feels a lot like wlw crushing on a girl she thinks is straight (but there's always that kernel of doubt).
"Guessing games"
"To only get it given back"
"But I'm just fine inside my shell-shaped mind, this way I get the best view"
"An institution somewhere where they dont have girls!!"
Also the "comes out of hiding" bc she's afraid of what if her crush crush is straight and her coming out come off awkard
This is what greeted me in the morning, thank you great goddess Reinaiery :)
And this is the EPITOME of a closeted gay panic
…
This song has always given off “demiromantic” vibes to me…I’m a demiromantic who likes girls.
This-
This makes me happy.
I SAW THE TITLE AND THOUGHT OF “ME AND MY HUSBAND” BY MITSKI. do you think you could make this song gay? it’s such a sweet song but imo would be better gay~ lovely singing reinaeiry i cant wait to hear your voice more! have a great day :)
Isn't that song about an unhappy/unsatisfied marriage?
@@monniemai1592 true but i feel like it would be a bop nonetheless
@@monniemai1592 yup, but I think the point is to have a song so that you can cry your eyes out in the gay language lsdkskskskskskksks
You did such a great job!! Your lil country accent is so cute!!
TYSM CHLOE!!!
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH
lol deez nutz
this is giving me so many ideas for my sci-fi lesbians and how they meet, where, why, etc. I thank you sincerely, these covers give me so much inspiration.
the "that" of the "what do i do with that" OMG I MELT
omg I was literally thinking about if you ever did a cover of this song like an hour ago-
I HAVE BEEN WANTING SOMEONE TO DO A COVER OF THISSSSS
GET THIS ON SPOTIFY
Unironically the best southern accent I've heard. Usually they're so over the top, I like the subtle approach. It's actually not obnoxious for once. Amazing cover
My yeehaw heart loves the accent! As I've never heard your country accent attempts before, idk your progress, but I'm genuinely impressed! Hope to hear more of it 🧡
