Simon ,'Jaynestown'
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.
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.
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!
eta:
You Don't Own Me -- Lesley Gore
Would you have this, by any chance, and feel like sending it to B'Rawk?
It may be a little cheesy, but there's Gimme Gimme Gimme by Abba.
Hee. I was actually debating putting Dancing Queen on there.
Ooh! Trouble, by Shampoo!
Edit: The local music channel wishes to contribute Touch Me, by Samantha Fox, to your bad girls mix.
Rihanna, "Shut Up and Drive"
Christina Aguilera, "Keeps Getting Better"
Pink, "U + Ur Hand"
Little Jackie, "The World Should Revolve Around Me"
Amanda Palmer, "Coin Operated Boy"
ooh, good ones, but I don't have them--does anyone have them to send?
eta: That was for billytea's originally, but also applies to Little Jackie, "The World Should Revolve Around Me" (I have the others, and will add them!)
I have everything I listed. I'll send them later today if you want them.
You know, there must be a PJ Harvey song that fits. ..
but how about "Precious" or "Brass in Pocket" by the Pretenders.
