- I do not think that "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" is really that good of an
- example as it is really a remake of a song by ABBA, where the singers
- in the group where women. Unless you think that a song, originally
- from a woman's point of view, remade and sung by a male, makes it
- MOTSS-oriented.
-
- Although I do not have a title at hand but there are some songs by
- The Smiths that are MOTSS-oriented. Also check out songs by The
- Communards and Jimmy Somerville (former leadsinger of The Communards).

- You're welcome.
