Yes, it's time to take a pre-Passover break from the unprecedented morality play taking place in a courtroom in New York City for the next several weeks. I mean, I don't know about you guys, but I'n old enough to remember when a President got impeached over a blowjob, so despite my Trumpian animus (I couldn't get on the current jury, alas) the entertainment value of this new Trial of the Century is wearing a little thin for me.
Although I'll concede that Stormy Daniels is more fetching (heh) than Monica Lewinsky.
Okay, but with that out of the way, it's on to business. To wit:
Best or worst post-Elvis song featuring a disagreeable, mean, disreputable, disloyal or frankly criminal woman (of overly easy virtue) -- fictional or real life -- in its title or lyrics!!!
No arbitrary rules, although if you nominate the Donna Summers' hit or that Taylor Swift thing I'm tossing them just because.
And my totally Top of My Head Top Seven is...
7. Respectable (The Rolling Stones)
"She's a rag trade girl, she's the queen of porn/She's the easiest lay on the White House lawn"Heh.
6. Centerfold (The J. Geils Band)
Your blood runs cold? Oh puhleeze guys -- are you boasting or complaining?
5. Maneater (Hall and Oates)
I dunno, I always thought the girl in this particular song was getting a bad rap.
4. Femme Fatale (The Velvet Underground + Nico)
Inspired by tragic Warhol superstar Edie Sedgwick, who I would definitely liked to have met. If you know what I mean.
3. You Know I'm No Good (Amy Winehouse)
This one gets bonus points for honesty, obviously. Equally obviously, Amy could have had me if she'd played her cards right, nice Jewish girl that she was.
2. She's So Mean (Matchbox Twenty)
I'm, shall we say, not (er) remotely a fan of this band, so as far as I'm concerned they deserved the titular beyotch.
And the Numero Uno shady dame in the history of recorded music absolutely has to be...
1. Stormy (Classics IV)
C'mon -- if you don't know why, you really haven't been paying attention.
Alrighty then -- what would YOUR choices be?
And have a great weekend, everybody!!!
