Feminist kareoke

What would your song choice be?

(Shamelessly wanting to add to my singalong Spotify playlist)

Personally prefer music with a rock edge but all genres welcome

Typical Girls, The Slits

Don't create
Don't rebel
Have intuition
Can't decide
Typical girls get upset too quickly
Typical girls can't control themselves
Typical girls are so confusing
Typical girls, you can always tell
Typical girls don't think too clearly
Typical girls are unpredictable, predictable
Typical girls try to be
Typical girls very well
Typical girls try to be
Typical girls very well, well
Typical girls are looking for something
Typical girls fall under spells
Typical girls buy magazines
Typical girls feel like hell
Typical girls worry about spots, fat
And natural smells, stinky fake smells
Typical girls try to be
Typical girls very well, well
Don't create
Don't rebel
Have intuition
Don't drive well
Typical girls try to be
Typical girls very well
Can't decide what clothes to wear
Typical girls are sensitive
Typical girls are emotional
Typical girls are cruel and bewitching
But she's a femme fatal
Typical girls stand by their man
Typical girls are really swell
Typical girls learn how to act shocked
Typical girls don't rebel
Who invented the typical girl?
Who's bringing out the new improved model?
And there's another marketing ploy
Typical girl gets the typical boy
Who invented the typical girl?
Who's bringing out the new improved model?
And there's another marketing ploy
Typical girl gets the typical boy, typical boy
The typical boy gets the typical girl
The typical girl gets the typical boy
The typical boy gets the typical girl
The typical girl gets the typical boy
Are emotional

Beth Heart - Bad Woman Blues:

Whoa
(Whoa)
Whoa
(Whoa)

Got the lips, got the legs
I was born to drive a man insane
I don't worry and I don't shame
Put it on me, I'm the queen of pain

I've been bad, I've been cruel
I'm not sorry, baby, sorry for you
It's my party and I don't dance
Just want your liquor and your cheap romance

I'm not your mama, I'm not your wife
I'm not the one who'll make it right
Good girls always lose
I got the bad woman blues

(Bad woman blues)
I got the bad woman, bad woman
Bad, bad, bad woman blues
I got the bad woman blues
(Bad woman blues)
I got the bad woman, bad woman
Bad, bad, bad woman blues

Got the hips, got the shake
I put the cherry on your chocolate cake
Don't need roses or your pink champagne
I'll be the sugar rush in your veins

I'm not your mama, I'm not your wife
I'm not the one who'll make it right
Them good girls always lose
I got the bad woman blues

(Bad woman blues)
I got the bad woman, bad woman
Bad, bad, bad woman blues
I got the bad woman blues
(Bad woman blues)
I got the bad woman, bad woman
Bad, bad, bad woman blues

Whoa
(Whoa)
Whoa
(Whoa)
Sad as I am (Whoa)
It feels so good to be bad (Whoa)
Sad as I am (Whoa)
It feels so good to be bad (Whoa)

There ain't no love, there ain't no crime
That's a rap, that's a rhyme

I'm not your mama, I'm not your wife
I'm not the one who'll make it right
Them good girls always lose
I don't pray to angels dressed in white
I'm not the one who'll save your life
Them good girls always lose
I got the bad woman blues

(Bad woman blues)
I got the bad woman, bad woman
Bad, bad, bad woman blues
I got the bad woman blues
(Bad woman blues)
I got the bad woman, bad woman
Bad, bad, bad woman blues

Sad as I am (Whoa)
It feels so good to be bad (Whoa)
Sad as I am (Whoa)
It feels so good to be bad (Whoa)
Sad as I am (Whoa)
It feels so good to be bad (Whoa)
I got the bad woman, bad woman
Bad, bad, bad woman blues

Sorry I abandoned the thread my brother popped round a little unexpectedly and interrupted my solo kareoke evening! (Was doing a fine duet with Skin harmonising at the end of Weak (Skunk Anansie) before I was interrupted!)

I haven’t listened to PJ Harvey for a while.

The Last Word by Mary Chaplin Carpenter

You can have it; I don't want it
And when you've got, it I'll be gone
It won't matter what you're saying
When the damage has all been done
Can't seem to keep the faith
As if that's all I need to do
I'd rather walk away
Than take what belongs to you
You can have it; I don't want it
And when you've got, it I'll be gone
It won't matter what you're saying
When the damage has all been done
Some words will cut you down
Like you were only in the way
Why should I stand this ground?
It won't hurt as much to say
You can have it; I don't want it
And when you've got, it I'll be gone
It won't matter what you're saying
When the damage has all been done
Sometimes we're blinded by
The very thing we need to see
I finally realized
You need it more than you need me
You can have it; I don't want it
And when you've got, it I'll be gone
It won't matter what you're saying
When the damage has all been done
The damage has all been done

[Cwenthryth]
