Old School Friday

September 12th, 2008 by cooper

Old School Fri­day, theme “Girl Groups”.

So many, all fab in their own way. I’m lea­ning toward those who pla­yed ins­tru­ments, and didn’t ask “will he love me tomo­rrow”, or worry about what “Ma Ma said Ma Ma said”, though “shop around” is pretty sage advice to this day.

I love all those old girl groups songs for fun and the vocals, the words just don’t click with me. At least the Lea­der of the Pack girls were pining away because the guy died, not because he left, and the Crys­tals pre­fe­rred rebels.

My choice would be Bikini Kill because I was “oh so cool” when I liked them. I was around 12 or 13 and they were already almost gone. I still have Pussy Whip­ped han­ging around here somewhere. The sound is jarring howe­ver, and the lyrics are explicit

So, I’m going to walk like an Egyp­tian with The Ban­gles.

      LOL, There is a wiki on it somewhere.

      It was the first song by an all-female group pla­ying their own ins­tru­ments to top the Bill­board sin­gles chart.
