9 Songs You Didn't Know Are About Being Bisexual

4. Janet Jackson - "Tonight's The Night (Gonna Be Alright)"

This is just between meAnd you...And you

Originally recorded by Rod Stewart, "Tonight's the Night" gets an even sexier revamping under the guardianship of Ms. Jackson. Stewart's version, though suggestive in its own right, has nothing on the lustfulness coming from Janet, who begins the song with the promise of a threesome. Yeah, that bit about being "between me and you...and you" isn't some deep sentiment about getting to know "the real you," it's simple, mathematical statement about what's about to happen in the boudoir.

Further evidence of this Three's Company scenario is provided in the choruses, alternating between "I love you, boy" and "I love you, girl." Janet's breathy, sensual delivery is only emboldened by the non-traditional sexual interplay. But lest you think this was just some cheap ploy to stir up a little media controversy (a la her wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl a few years), you should know that Janet's Velvet Rope album--that "Tonight's the Night" is featured was--honored by the National Black Lesbian and Gay Leadership Forum for its seemingly pro-gay and bisexual content, and also received the award for Outstanding Music Album at the 9th Annual GLAAD Media Awards.
