“She, He, They (A Pronoun Song),” by the award-winning Carrie Ferguson, is a bouncy, bluesy tune that will have you tapping your feet along with the affirming lyrics:
She, he, they, what pronouns do you use?
It’s up to you, the words that you choose
No one else can decide, how you feel inside
She, he, they, what pronouns do you use?
Queer and gender nonconforming singer-songwriter Ferguson goes on to sing about people she knows who use different pronouns (or no pronouns), and all the things they like to do, from playing the kazoo to painting the kitchen and watching movies in bed. And if you don’t know someone’s pronouns? “Just ask,” she says.
Ferguson is one of the artists featured on “Rainbow Superpowers,” a kids’ song for Pride (or any time). Her 2021 kids’ music album, The Grumpytime Club, is also a great listen, with one song, “The Hope Parade,” that feels like a reference to Pride, and lots about being oneself and also trying to see things from other people’s perspectives. Here’s the video for the song (with guest appearances from Julie B, Miles Crabtree, and Melissa Smith of Ants on a Log, among other folks):
