Today we honor Corey Haim, a voice of sanity in an insane world of song-lyric-pronoun abuse.  In the film The Lost Boys, Haim sings "Ain't Got No Home" by Clarence "Frogman" Henry.  Does Haim butcher the original lyrics?  Absolutely not!  Haim isn't afraid to "sing like a girl" or even "like a frog"!  (Go ahead and gasp!) 

The PInKSLiP Campaign hereby dares contemporary singers to follow Haim's example.  And what a controversial dare it is, apparently!  Consider, for example, these lyrics from the song:

• "I ain't got a man."  According to the ridiculous standards that PInKSLiP actively fights, only a woman (of any orientation) could sing such a line.
• "I ain't got a son."  This line could presumably be sung only by a singer with no male heir.
• "I ain't got a daughter."  This line is presumably exclusive to daughterless singers.
• "I ain't got no one."  Who but the impotent, the deliberately childless, the unmarried, the asexual, or the socially inept would dare to sing such a line?
• "I'm a lonely girl."  Grown-up girls would likely need to change the word to "woman," and male singers would need to switch the gender, according to today's ridiculous standards.
• "I ain't got a mother."  Only orphans need bother retaining this lyric, apparently.
• "I ain't got a father."  This would be exclusive to genetically engineered ("test tube") people.
• "I ain't got a sister."  This line is for singletons, apparently.
• "Not even a brother."  Ditto.
• "I'm a lonely frog."  Human singers need not bother.
• "I ain't got a home."  A line for homeless singers, obviously.

Need we say more?  As the lyrics of "Ain't Got No Home" beautifully demonstrate, it's ridiculous for a singer to alter song lyrics to correspond to his or her lifestyle.  Anyone can sing like a girl, or a frog, or a sisterless singleton without a place to call home.  That's because (drumroll, please!) it's just a song!
