REBEL GIRL PLAYLIST

REBEL GIRL PLAYLIST

Per darsi un po’ di carica e uscire da questo letargo invernale, 32 brani cantati da donne sulle donne, per agitarle, scuoterle e celebrarle in tutti gli stili possibili: punk, rock, pop, disco, country, soul, r&b e chi più ne ha più ne metta, l’importante è esaltarsi durante l’ascolto, e per trarne maggiori benefici suggerisco anche una lettura dei passaggi più belli prima dell’ascolto.

In fondo trovate la playlist ascoltabile su youtube.

Bikini Kill- Rebel Girl

When she walks, the revolution’s comin’
In her hips, there’s revolution
When she talks, I hear the revolution
In her kiss, I taste the revolution

Love you like a sister always
Soul sister, rebel girl
Come and be my best friend
Will you, rebel girl?

Madonna – Express Yourself

Don’t go for second best, baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know you’ve got to
Make him express how he feels and maybe
Then you’ll know your love is real

You don’t need diamond rings or eighteen karat gold
Fancy cars that go very fast, you know they never last, no, no
What you need is a big strong hand
To lift you to your higher ground
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
Make him love you ‘til you can’t come down

Meredith Brooks – Bitch 

I’m a bitch
I’m a lover
I’m a child
I’m a mother
I’m a sinner
I’m a saint
And I do not feel ashamed
I’m your hell
I’m your dream
I’m nothing in between
You know you wouldn’t want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may mean you’ll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous
And I’m going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won’t mean a thing

Just when you think you’ve got me figured out
The season’s already changin’
I think it’s cool you do what you do
And don’t try to save me

Miley Cyrus – Flowers 

I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don’t understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can

Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves [Ft. Aretha Franklin] 

Now there was a time
When they used to say
That behind every great man
There had to be a great woman

But in these times of change
You know that it’s no longer true
So we’re comin’ out of the kitchen
‘Cause there’s somethin’ we forgot to say to you, we say

Sisters are doin’ it for themselves
Standin’ on their own two feet
And ringin’ on their own bells, we say
Sisters are doin’ it for themselves

Now this is a song
To celebrate
The conscious liberation
Of the female state

Mothers, daughters
And their daughters too
Woman to woman
We’re singin’ with you

The inferior sex, has
Got a new exterior, yeah
We got doctors
Lawyers, politicians too

Everybody take a look around
Can you see, can you see
Can you see there’s a woman
Right next to you, we say

Hooverphonic – Romantic

Don’t take me to dinner
Just take me back home
Don’t take me to Venice
Just take me back home
Don’t take me for granted
I’m not that kind of girl

Don’t buy me red roses
Don’t be such a poser
Don’t try to seduce me, too
You’d like me ecstatic
I know I’ll regret it
If I don’t tell it straight to you

I’m not romantic
I’m not romantic
Don’t be dramatic
‘Cause I’m not romantic

Katy Perry – I Kissed A Girl

Us girls, we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist, so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain’t no big deal, it’s innocent

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right
Don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ – Nancy Sinatra

You keep sayin’ you’ve got somethin’ for me
Somethin’ you call love but confess
You’ve been a ‘messin’ where you shouldn’t ‘ve been a ‘messin’
And now someone else is getting all your best

These boots are made for walkin’
And that’s just what they’ll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

Are you ready, boots? Start walkin’

Taylor Swift – Shake It Off

I never miss a beat
I’m lightning on my feet
And that’s what they don’t see
That’s what they don’t see

Players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (haters gonna hate)
Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break
Fakers gonna fake
I’m just gonna shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

Joan Jett – Bad Reputation

I don’t give a damn ‘bout my reputation
Living in the past, it’s a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do and that’s what I’m gonna do

I don’t give a damn ‘bout my reputation
I’ve never been afraid of any deviation
An’ I don’t really care if you think I’m strange
I ain’t gonna change

An’ I’m never gonna care ‘bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me, oh no, not me
Pedal, boys!

Spice Girls – Wannabe

If you want my future
Forget my past
If you wanna get with me
Better make it fast
Now don’t go wasting
My precious time
Get your act together, we could be just fine

If you wanna be my lover
You gotta get with my friends (gotta get with my friends)
Make it last forever
Friendship never ends
If you wanna be my lover
You have got to give
Taking is too easy
But that’s the way it is

You Don’t Own Me – Lesley Gore

You don’t own me
I’m not just one of your many toys
You don’t own me
Don’t say I can’t go with other boys

And don’t tell me what to do
Don’t tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don’t put me on display ‘cause

You don’t own me
Don’t try to change me in any way
You don’t own me
Don’t tie me down ‘cause I’d never stay

I don’t tell you what to say
I don’t tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That’s all I ask of you

I’m young and I love to be young
I’m free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please

And don’t tell me what to do
Oh, don’t tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don’t put me on display

I don’t tell you what to say
Oh, don’t tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That’s all I ask of you

I’m young and I love to be young
I’m free and I love to be free

Katy Perry – Roar 

Now I’m floatin’ like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero

You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Get ready ‘cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar

Aretha Franklin – Respect

I ain’t gonna do you wrong while you’re gone
Ain’t gonna do you wrong (oo) ‘cause I don’t wanna (oo)
All I’m askin’ (oo)
Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)
Baby (just a little bit) when you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)

I’m about to give you all of my money
And all I’m askin’ in return, honey
Is to give me my profits

Loretta Lynn – “the pill”

All these years I’ve stayed at home
While you had all your fun
And every year that’s gone by
Another baby’s come
There’s a gonna be some changes made
Right here on nursery hill
You’ve set this chicken your last time
‘Cause now I’ve got the pill

This old maternity dress I’ve got
Is goin’ in the garbage
The clothes I’m wearin’ from now on
Won’t take up so much yardage
Miniskirts, hot pants and a few little fancy frills
Yeah I’m makin’ up for all those years
Since I’ve got the pill

Cyndi Lauper – Girls Just Want To Have Fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest o’ the world
I wanna be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have

Shania Twain – Man! I Feel Like A Woman

The girls need a break, tonight we’re gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don’t need romance, we only wanna dance
We’re gonna let our hair hang down

The best thing about bein’ a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy, forget I’m a lady
Men’s shirts, short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild, yeah, doin’ it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action, feel the attraction
Color my hair, do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free, yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man, I feel like a woman

Alicia Keys – Girl on Fire

We got our feet on the ground
And we’re burning it down
Oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Got our head in the clouds
And we’re not coming down

Anouk – Nobody’s Wife

It’s too bad, but hey, that’s me
What goes around comes around, you’ll see
That I can carry the burden of pain
‘Cause it ain’t the first time, no, that a man goes insane
And when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
Suckin’ out his love, I, I’ll never be nobody’s wife, yeah

Diana Ross – I’m Coming Out

I’m coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show.
There’s a new me coming out
And I just have to live
And I wanna give
I’m completely positive
I think this time around
I am gonna do it
Like you never knew it
Oh I’ll make it through
The time has come for me
To break out of the shell
I have to shout
I’m coming out.
I’ve got to show the world
All that I wanna be
And all my abilities
There’s so much more to me

Gretchen Wilson – Redneck Woman

Well, I ain’t never been the Barbie doll type
No, I can’t swig that sweet Champagne, I’d rather drink beer all night
In a tavern or in a honky tonk or on a four-wheel drive tailgate

I’ve got posters on my wall of Skynyrd, Kid and Strait
Some people look down on me, but I don’t give a rip
I’ll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip

Beyoncé – Run the World 

My persuasion
Can build a nation
Endless power
With our love we can devour
You’ll do anything for me

Who run the world? Girls (girls)
Who run the world? Girls (girls)
Who run the world? Girls (girls)

Björk – Army Of Me

Stand up
You’ve got to manage
I won’t sympathize
Anymore

And if you complain once more
You’ll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You’ll meet an army of me

You’re alright
There’s nothing wrong
Self-sufficience, please
And get to work

Michelle Malone “Other Girls”

Other Girls, Other Girls

the grass aint greener, just a different color

Madonna – What It Feels Like For A Girl

Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots ‘cause it’s okay to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
‘Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you’d love to know what it’s like wouldn’t you?
What it feels like for a girl

Destiny’s Child – Independent Women, Pt. 1

All the women who independent
Throw your hands up at me
All the honeys who making money
Throw your hands up at me
All the mamas who profit dollars
Throw your hands up at me
All the ladies who truly feel me
Throw your hands up at me

The Runaways – Cherry Bomb

Come on, baby, let me get to you
Bad nights causing teenage blues
Get down ladies, you’ve got nothin’ to lose

Hello, daddy, hello, mom
I’m your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb
Hello world I’m your wild girl
I’m your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb

Icona Pop – I Love It

I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone
I crashed my car into the bridge, I watched, I let it burn
I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs
I crashed my car into the bridge

I don’t care, I love it
I don’t care

You’re on a different road, I’m in the Milky Way
You want me down on Earth, but I am up in space
You’re so damn hard to please, we gotta kill this switch
You’re from the ’70s, but I’m a ’90s bitch

I love it

Lady Gaga – Born This Way

Don’t be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you’re broke or evergreen
You’re Black, white, beige, chola descent
You’re Lebanese, you’re Orient’
Whether life’s disabilities left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
‘Cause, baby, you were born this way

No matter gay, straight, or bi’, lesbian, transgender life
I’m on the right track, baby, I was born to survive
No matter Black, white or beige, chola, or Orient’ made
I’m on the right track, baby, I was born to be brave
