This is the November 2023 playlist for the girls.
The Songs
"X Gon' Give It To Ya" - DMX (DMX: Don't Try to Understand - EP, 2003)
Hard-edged Southern rap built around a chant that never lets up.
"Can't Get You Out of My Head" - Kylie Minogue (Fever (Deluxe Edition), 2001)
A sleek synth-pop hit with a sticky hook and a cool, late-night pulse.
"Fly Me Courageous" - Drivin N Cryin (Fly Me Courageous, 1990)
A straight-ahead rock song with a rough-edged drive and a big chorus.
"Minnie the Moocher" - Cab Calloway (The Blues Brothers (Original Soundtrack Recording), 1980)
A vaudeville-era jazz standard that found new life through a classic film soundtrack.
"Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" - Urge Overkill (Stull - EP, 1992)
A grunge-era cover that turns a movie moment into a darker, moodier ballad.
"Signs" - Five Man Electrical Band (Class of '71, 1971)
A radio-rock staple built on a blunt, memorable anti-conformist refrain.
"Connection" - Elastica (Elastica, 1994)
A brisk indie rock track with wiry guitars and sharp, nervous energy.
"And We Danced" - The Hooters (Nervous Night, 1985)
A bright, jangly pop-rock song with an easygoing dance feel.
"Afro Puffs" - The Lady of Rage (Above the Rim (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [Deluxe Edition], 1994)
A fiery West Coast rap cut with a hard bounce and plenty of attitude.
"I'm In a Hurry (And Don't Know Why)" - Alabama (American Pride (Bonus Track Version), 1992)
A fast country tune that jokes about the rush of everyday life.
"Now And Then" - The Beatles (Now And Then - Single, 2023)
A final Beatles release, shaped from an old studio recording and finished decades later.
"The Last Saskatchewan Pirate" - Arrogant Worms (The Arrogant Worms, 1992)
A comic folk song that tells a tall tale with a singalong lilt.
