Did we know that Alison Krauss covered 9 to 5?
No. How about that both the B-52s and Dolly Parton covered "Downtown" (the Petula Clark song)?
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I just learned that Echo and the Bunnymen covered All You Need is Love.
I swear I could be on that site for days. Covers are my favorite genre.

I did a little more browsing. I think my favorite "Huh?" combination is the Lettermen cover of "Light My Fire."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I found a cool Fratellis cover of All Along the Watchtower and Michael Jackson doing Come Together.
Seriously Second Hand Songs + YouTube= Happy DJ for the rest of the afternoon.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I've been putting together a play list that I've been calling either Id Girls or Bad Influences, depending on my mood--songs by female vocalists being up front about wanting what they want and/or living how they want to.
Here's what I have so far:
I Want Candy--Bow Wow Wow
Bad Reputation--Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
Come On- Josie & The Pussycats
Summer Girl-Jessica Andrews
I Need A Lover-Pat Benatar
I Want That Man-Deborah Harry
Rehab-Amy Winehouse
Bad Influence-Pink
Sin Wagon- Dixie Chicks
Physical-- Olivia Newton-John
Still Dirrty--Christina Aguilera
Legend of a Cowgirl--Imani Coppola
Don't Call Me Baby- Madison Avenue
hey now (girls just wanna have fun)- Cyndi Lauper
Nasty-Janet Jackson
Shoop-Salt-N-Pepa
These boots were made for walking--Nancy Sinatra
Sexual Revolution-Macy Gray
Sex (I'm A...)- Berlin
I Want To Come Over- Melissa Etheridge
Anyone have any other suggestions?

I Touch Myself -- Divinyls
I Need a Man -- Eurythmics
I'm not sure these exactly qualify as Id or Bad, but certainly women singing about living how they want to:
You Don't Own Me -- Lesley Gore
I Am Woman -- Helen Reddy
Also, in other music news (heard on the radio, so I don't have a link), apparently Quincy Jones is trying to put together a new version of "We Are the World" to benefit Haiti earthquake relief.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
There's got to be some Eurythmics out there that fits the bill, but damned if I can come up with any off the top of my head.
ETA - Ha! There you go.

Thanks!

You Don't Own Me -- Lesley Gore
Would you have this, by any chance, and feel like sending it to B'Rawk?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
It may be a little cheesy, but there's Gimme Gimme Gimme by Abba.

Hee. I was actually debating putting Dancing Queen on there.
