For the Girls: December 2023

This is the December 2023 playlist for the girls. The Songs "Seven Bridges Road (Live)" - Eagles (The Very Best of Eagles, 1980) A live cut with layered harmonies and a gentle, country-rock feel. "Right Now" - SR-71 (Now You See Inside, 2000) Fast, scrappy power pop with a polished late-1990s alt-rock edge. "Hell" - Squirrel Nut Zippers (The Best of Squirrel Nut Zippers, 1997) Swing-era novelty pop with a darkly playful title and a bright arrangement. "Possum Kingdom" - Toadies (Rubberneck, 1994) Loud, brooding post-grunge with a tense, slow-building hook. "Flowers On the Wall" - The Statler Brothers (Flowers On the Wall: The Essential Statler Brothers 1964-1969, 1965) A smooth country standard built around tight sibling harmony. "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" - The Andrews Sisters (50th Anniversary Collection, Vol. 1, 1941) Big-band-era vocal pop with crisp rhythm and wartime-era charm. "Hold Me Now" - The Thompson Twins (The Wedding Singer, 1998) A slick synth-pop ballad that found a second life in a movie soundtrack. "The Valley Road" - Bruce Hornsby & The Range (Scenes From The Southside, 1988) A warm, piano-driven pop-rock track with an easygoing groove. "Do You Sleep?" - Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories (Tails, 1995) A quiet, confessional alt-pop song led by fingerpicked guitar. "Nobody Told Me" - John Lennon (Milk and Honey, 1984) An early-1980s solo single with a sharp melody and an uneasy bite. "Step Into a World (Rapture's Delight)" - KRS-One (I Got Next, 1997) A classic boom-bap hip-hop track that celebrates style and self-respect. "Fairytale of New York (feat. Kirsty MacColl)" - The Pogues (The Best of the Pogues, 1987) A bitter Christmas pub song that mixes folk energy with a bruised love story.
