Rage against the washing machine

I've just been to a gig. Three bands were on, two of them were a bit shit; all of them were exclusively middle aged men. Frequently singing about girls as if they were still 23.

It made me think; there should be more middle-aged lady bands, singing about middle-aged lady things.

What would the songs on our set list be?

Hot flash
I think you'll find I DGAF
Skinny jeans and a nice top
I feel alive (wild swimming)
What did I come in here for again?

No, I don't know where it is
My life is just a pile of laundry
Sorry, but no
Just no

This band exists, the front woman had a brilliant song about thinning hair. I will try and find their name, I saw them supporting half man half biscuit in 2018 or 2019

I hate thinking of what to feed people and their bloody stomachs. (Punk version)🧷

I feel 'Look with both eyes open' could be a Dolly Parton classic.

I think “man of constant sorrow with a garage in constant use” is very MN

What did I come in here for?

I think Carly Simon summed it up in Coming Around again .. you fix the toaster, pay the grocer, scream the lullaby… daddy breezes in!
