9 Songs You Didn't Know Are About Being Bisexual

7. David Bowie - "John, I'm Only Dancing"

John, I'm only dancing She turns me on, but I'm only dancing She turns me on, don't get me wrong

Some insist that David Bowie was just a straight man who liked to experiment, whether that be in his music or in the bedroom. That's what's called the "it was just a phase" line of reasoning, and it doesn't usually hold much water when the "experimentation" in question stretches through many years.

In "John, I'm Only Dancing," Bowie sings the part of a man in a homosexual relationship, who happens to get a little aroused by the woman he's dancing with. The title summarizes the simple explanation he gives to his partner, assuring him that despite the feelings he's getting from this girl (maybe in his heart, maybe in his pants), there's nothing to worry about.

It's really just a bit of lighthearted fun about the topic and, during the time he wrote it, was probably the most palatable way to talk about it.
