How many special people change How many lives are living strange
The marks of our favorite musical magicians.
Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we’ll be counting down our picks for the Top 10 Musician Physical Trademarks.
Our list highlights the most unique aspects of musicians that can be identified by the human eye.
John Lennon’s spirit will not be included nor will Robert Johnson’s deal with the devil.
We’re talking schnozzes, giant boobs and even one rather profound booty.
#10: David Bowie’s Different Colored Eyes
Valentine told me who’s to go
Contrary to popular belief, the eyes of Ziggy Stardust himself are actually the same color.
When David Bowie was a teenager, his friend George Underwood socked him in the eye over a girl, which caused his unequal pupil size known as anisocoria.
Sailors Fighting in the dance hall. Oh man! Look at those cavemen go.
Both men would later collaborate on Bowie’s most popular albums, and the ocular catastrophe proved to be a rock star blessing.
Don’t get any ideas, teenage Mojoholics – talent comes first.
#9: Jennifer Lopez’s Booty
Big big booty, watcha got, a big booty ! Oh !
The entertainment world has seen its share of popular backsides over the decades, but the almighty booty of Ms. Jennifer Lopez is a true American treasure.
J.Lo burst onto the movie scene in the mid-90s, and caused a collective raised eyebrow once she started shaking that thang as an award-winning pop star.
Used to have a little, now I have a lot No matter where I go, I know where I came from
What are the actual dimensions of boo-tay? Nobody knows. It’s an evolving American portrait and we all simply watch in awe.
Some boys kiss me
Some boys hug me
I think they're ok
#8: Madonna’s Tooth Gap and Mole
Some boys try and some boys lie but I don't let them play
While some physical trademarks may cause teasing at a young age, they often become a defining part of an individual’s beauty.
Life is a mystery Everyone must stand alone
Madonna innovated the role of pop star during the 80s, and her elegant imperfections elevated her iconic persona.
The mole provided a high fashion look, and the slight gap between her teeth reminded everyone that sex symbols come in a variety of forms.
Waiting for your call Baby night and day I'm fed up I'm tired of waiting on you
She was born with talent and capitalized to the fullest, while even male performers like Elton John and Flea embraced their gap-toothed gifts.
I don't have much money but boy if I did
#7: ZZ Top’s Long Beards
About ten years after the formation of their blues-rock band in 1969, Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill returned from extended vacations with matching, thick bushy beards.
Rather than taking on the look of their clean-shaven drummer, ironically named Frank Beard, the duo let their facial hair grow into Gandalf-like beards of pure southern rock magic.
The chest length facial hair has become its own entity, as the beards have become just as famous as the men behind them.
There are beards, and then there are ZZ Top beards. Respect.
You know I gotta get paid
#6: Thom Yorke’s Dropping Eyelid
You look so tired-unhappy,
The lead singer of Radiohead has become well known for the depth of his lyrics, but his depth perception often suffers through no fault of his own.
This is what you get
Thom Yorke was born with a paralyzed left eye and was forced to wear an eye patch for most of his childhood.
Although it’s not the worst thing in the world, a botched surgery made things more problematic for Mr. Yorke, as it gave him the dropping eyelid he is known for now.
Can´t get the stink off, He´s been hanging round for days
It all worked out in the end however, as he is now fronting one of the most acclaimed rock bands of all time.
Dolly Parton!
#5: Dolly Parton’s Huge Breasts
Have you ever thought about reduction?
Oh, no I worked too hard to get them this big !
She has a big voice and an even bigger…personality.
Her gigantic smile continues to endear after all these years, and although she may often disappear from the spotlight, her breasts remain as huge as ever.
Home, where the warm winds blowing and the rivers flowing
Dolly Parton hasn’t been shy about her most famous assets over the years, and numerous musical artists have referenced them in appreciation.
Even Drake and Nicki Minaj got in on the action.
Whats the point? If I’m guardin’
Double D up h**s, Dolly Parton
God bless you, Dolly, and God bless America.
Home, there's no place like it, no place like it,
I call you when I need you and my heart's on fire
#4: Tina Turner’s Legs
This soul superstar once had a pair of stems that could make Beyoncé drool.
You're simply the best Better than all the rest
Tina Turner once tore up the stage with sweaty performances, and the physical beauty of her legs often hypnotized people in the first few rows.
Despite her small stature, Turner’s legs have always been large and in charge,
thus allowing for a unique command of the stage along with both men and women’s eyes.
I'm just using my female attraction On a typical male, on a typical male
She was one hard working diva, but her extraordinary legs made the job easier.
#3: Michael Jackson’s Nose
It's close to midnight Something evil's lurkin'in the dark
Once upon a time lived a pop superstar who retreated into a life of fantasy and plastic surgery.
Just the other night I thought I heard you cry
We’ll never know the true motivations behind Michael Jackson’s numerous plastic surgeries,
but his bizarre nose ultimately made him a cartoonish figure and overshadowed his enormous talent.
After going under the knife one too many times, the King of Pop’s snout became a massive hole that left fans curious about the pressure of fame.
Stop pressurin' me Just stop pressurin' me
#2: Mick Jagger’s Lips
I'm so hot for her, I'm so hot for her I'm so hot for her and she's so cold
When an ancient swamp creature is named after your lips, they must be pretty special.
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
Yes, researchers called a new aquatic discovery the “Jagger’s Water Nymph,” which is in reference to the Rolling Stones singer’s massive smoochers.
I can't get no satisfaction
While most men his age have settled for a life of retirement, Jagger continues to storm across worldwide stages with his enormous lips puckering for the fans.
I wanna see it painted,
There’s no magical formula behind such a pair of lips, it’s just plain science and Jagger’s made the most of his physical gift.
I'm the burning bush, I'm the burning fire I'm the bleeding volcano
Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
But did you know that when it snows My eyes become large And the light that you shine can be seen?
Because of the wrong kind of drugs
They were all taken drugs serious, just different drugs.
Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time I feel alive
Let's rock n' roll all night and party every day !
#1: Gene Simmons’ Tongue
It’s the subject of endless rock music urban legends and a physical trademark worth millions.
I wanna rock and roll all night and party everyday !
Gene Simmons has sold more than 100 million albums as a member of KISS, and his reptilian tongue has long been a defining feature of live performances.
Some people actually maintain that Simmons had his tongue exchanged with that of a cow’s,
while more reasonable lunatics believe he simply sliced his tendons for more elasticity.
Does it really matter? Perhaps the KISS groupies can provide some answers.
Paint the sky with desire Angel fly, Heaven's on fire
