"Also, I feel that I should probably point out that English is one of the very, very few languages that doesn't assign an immutable gender to every single noun, so calling it "over-gendered" to make it understood whether the subject of a song is male or female seems a tad hyperbolic."
Hahaha, what? You know, I don't actually see tables as male just because in my language the grammar has a masculine pronoun for them. Oh hey, chairs are male in my language, too. I should totally ship it, greatest gay love ever!

Okay, to the actual point of your comment: when people cover songs, for me that means they're telling, or rather performing, a story that is from somebody elses point of view (e.g. original song-writer). And if they can't do that convincingly just because some gender pronoun doesn't fit them or their preference I think they should find a better song. Or not cover songs at all.
