Don't feel embarrassed about I'm a Believer by The Monkees — I love that song too. Re. songs that mention the beloved as 'she', that would really irritate me in a songvid if associated with Bodie or Doyle. To me it would feel completely 'off', and I probably wouldn't watch the songvid more than the once. I'm more or less the same generation as the Lads, and agree with you that ignoring the feminine pronoun just seems wrong for them in their 1970s/80s setting.
