Inappropriate Lyrics:
"I Want To Come Over"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: I know you're home
You left your light on You know I'm here The night is thin I know you're alone I watched the car leave Your lover is gone Let me in Why They're Inappropriate: Basically the entire song is inappropriate, but I selected these particular lyrics. I love this song, but are people even aware of what the words about? It's about when Melissa Etheridge was having an affair with Lou Diamond Phillips' wife!!!

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):
"Not revealing the gender of her songs' subjects"
An out-and-proud lesbian (practically) from the start, Ms. Etheridge made a voluntary decision to not use gendered terms for the subjects of her famous love ballads. She claims that she did not do this out of shame, but because she did not wish to alienate listeners so that anyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, could relate to her music, which seems to have worked given her large fan base.
