Oooh! Tom gave me a shiny new productivity killer.
This is my other new one. [link]
Did we know that Alison Krauss covered 9 to 5?

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

No. How about that both the B-52s and Dolly Parton covered "Downtown" (the Petula Clark song)?

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."

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.
