Any songs that glorify or celebrate men?

Two that come to mind ABBA's "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (A Man After Midnight)" and the WeatherGirls' "It's Raining Men"

Maybe Stand By Your Man (even though he's a piece of ...) glorifies the idea that just having a man that you can call yours is enough because they're all so wonderful.. because they're men. The Ballad of the Green Beret?? Ugh. I'm not coming up with much... So Many Men (so little time)- I wish ! I Need A Man ...well....

"Let's Hear it For the Boy"

"I Need a Hero"

Whitney, All The Man That I Need

Most songs are about either men or women. Or both.

"It's fun to stay at the......" immediately comes to mind. Everyone should be able to fill in the blank!

I have one song in mind for the specific category, and that would be Boys will be boys from Miami Sound Machine.
The rest though, songs about a boy or a man---
Ben by MJ
Father and Son by EJ
Daniel by EJ
Dance with my father - LVD
Fernando - Abba
Mickey - TB
Vincent - DMcL
He aint heavy, he's my brother - RBrs.

i can't wait to go home to download some of the songs above.

Cater to U-Destiny's Child

"Men" by Charly McClain, ca. 1980. Or would that be too obvious...

Matt, if you know that good, obscure Charly McClain song, you're probably familiar with the Forester Sisters' song of the same name, with its great, only-in-country-music line....You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em....talkin' 'bout men.

All the Young Dudes!

Debbie Harry - "I Want That Man"

I wanna dance with Harry Dean
Drive through Texas in a black limousine
I wanna piece of heaven before I die
I wanna be kissed from head to toe
By that man iin the very back row
But he won't even look me in the eye
I want his love to rain right down on me
I want him to be king of all my dreams
But what I really want I just can't buy
I want everything I can
But most of all I want that man
I want that man

Had forgotten about that one - thanks for the reminder! Was always partial to Charly McClain's stuff, so I guess that's why it popped into my head before anything else.

Love the Deborah Harry song too!

Outsporters,

I know of the best song ever about men. It's called "The Men Song" by Sally Zito and the lyrics are below. You can download it on ITunes. An mp3 preview clip is available here: http://sallyzito.com/TheMenSong.mp3

I love Sally's style because it reminds me a lot of fun, high energy artists like Steely Dan and Don Fagen. And she is like the coolest person ever. I told her that I wanted to play "The Men Song" on my stereo during LA Gay Pride summer 2007 and she sent me an unmixed version before her album even came out. It's the best!

P.S. - Lyric wise it hasn't hurt the cause either that I am in the midst of my 33rd year.

Music and lyrics by Sally Zito

[chorus]
Men! I need ‘em I want ‘em
Something so fine about touchin ‘em, huggin ‘em
Ooh, I got to get me some men
Oh, I see ‘em all over
Pretty young faces, big hard shoulders
Oh, I got to get me some men!

[verse]
Some say that youth is wasted on young and innocent minds
And everyone wants to take what they’ve learned and travel back in time
Well that’s alright for a man, but women are wired differently
Even Sleeping Beauty didn’t wake up ‘til she was 33
And you know, I’m talking sexually when I say…

[chorus]

[verse]
I can spend all day at the zoo marveling at all God’s creatures
Like the strange little horn-nosed puffin bird with all of its horn-nosed features
So many to discover there, but none of them quite so fine
As the creature standing in front of me in the Motor Vehicles line
I could stand all day with a view this nice from behind!

[chorus]

[bridge]
Well, there may be more important things I can do
But lately I haven’t got a clue of what that would be
‘Cause all I can think of is how the world is so full of…Men!

[Sally solo/aco. guitar breakdown/latin vamp]

[outtro]
Oh, I got to get me, oh can’t someone find me…

Some strong, lovely lookin’, oh-so-fine, supple young thing? So nice…
Talkin ‘bout hotties with their knit-caps, barely legal, foxy tight-pants wearin’…
Men!
